And that issue shows the problem with OSS.

Nothing is ever good enough.

> Please report this to your distribution

And the reply:

> but you could create your own .deb packages for each github release, which can be installed much quicker than downloading and compiling source code and all its dependencies.

This is why OSS maintainers have burn out. Always wanting more and more. Not even the source code is good enough.

> The Court ruled that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the detailed, comprehensive record of their movements that CSLI provides, even though they share it with their carriers. This decision limited the "third-party doctrine," which previously suggested no privacy rights in information shared with third parties, and established that the unique nature of cell phone data requires greater protection.

Additionally, the decision was narrow, applying specifically to historical CSLI.

The issue of buying location data from a 3rd party company as part of a service has not been argued.

> the FBI has confirmed it was buying access to people’s data collected from data brokers, who source much of their information — including location data — from ordinary consumer phone apps and games

This is completely different from CSLI, you are agreeing to provide your location to these apps and games, as most require it, and, finally, a majority of these EULA state that the data may be shared with 3rd parties.

SCOTUS makes narrow rulings all the time and this is one of them.

The argument that you are expressly providing your location information and agreeing that it can/will be shared with a 3rd party who can then do as they please with your data is not a violation of the 4th amendment and will be excluded from the 3rd party doctrine.

Many people won’t agree with this, and if ever argued in a court, they won’t agree with the ruling when it’s allowed to continue.

Requesting != Buying

When this goes back to the courts you can come back to this comment and still be angry you are wrong.

> Carpenter v. United States (2018) was a landmark Supreme Court case that held the government generally needs a warrant to access historical cell-site location information (CSLI) from cell phone carriers, as its acquisition constitutes a Fourth Amendment search

This is very different from buying your data from a company especially when the user consented to their location being tracked.

Too many people in these threads jumping to anti-Trump when the real issue is how quick we are to give up our our privacy to use technology and then quickly turn to shock in anger when it’s used against us.

This is an important question.

The tree outside of house is not 9 feet tall per. I have a 2 story house and it easily towers 10 feet higher than my house.

Additionally, there are several Royal Palms that are close to 50ft and they show as being only 15 feet.

Coincidentally, there’s an article about this exact topic and it happens to mention Senator Wyden.

Pushing their decisions? This is comical.

I guess Debian, SUSE, Canonical, etc get that email from Red Hat just go along with it. We better make the switch, we don’t want our ::checks notes:: competitor made at us.

You don’t know they are a positive force?

This, despite the fact that Rocky, Alma, Oracle Enterprise Linux, etc exist because of the hard work and money spent by Red Hat.

And what are those companies doing to fix this issue you claim Red Hat causes? Nothing. Because they like money, especially when all you have to do is rebuild and put your name on other people’s hard work.

And what exactly is incomprehensible? What exactly is it that they’re doing to the Linux desktop that make it so that people can’t fix their own problems? Isn’t the whole selling point of Rocky and Alma by most integrators is that it’s so easy you don’t need red hat to support it?

I supported Cerner RHEL servers for 6 years and Cerner is a joke.

Everything has to run as root.

All their scripts are Korn shell hacks from the 90s that have been carrier over.

Their god awful Kickstart scripts were written in stone even if you prove that there were better ways.

Cerner controlled the root password.

Cerner123!

They hard coded passwords with ROT13.

No wonder Oracle bought them.

These are the same people who get mad at Red Hat because they think the 5K people who develop, maintain, and test all of the software do it for free

This is one of the most important questions I see when people recommend an MCP server.

If cursor and Claude code can already run an executable why do I need to add an MCP server in front of it?

I feel like a lot of times it’s, “Because AI”

I use my M4 MBA as my personal laptop. Never once felt I was overloading it an it was being throttled.

Claude Code, some light video and photo editing, YouTube, and Netflix.

Not sure what others using an entry level laptop would expect it to do.
