“Hackers”.

To me it seems like a push towards the whole “own nothing” idea. Whether it’s something like CSAM detection or even mundane SaaS, things are slowly shifting away from the end user having control over their “own” devices.

I’m torn, because on the one hand, pedophiles and child abusers deserve the severest of consequences in my opinion; on the other hand, I also think that people should be able to do and/or say whatever they want so long as its not causing actual harm to another.

I get it, my cats are my biggest source of garbage/waste in my own household, and I wouldn’t give 'em up for anything. But when facing a problem, sometimes you have to weigh options you’d rather not consider.

Buy less useless shit. Less food deliveries, less “prepared” foods, less “made of the finest chinesium and thaitanium” products. Spend the extra buck for something that you’ll get more than one use out of. Adopt out the cats if you really want to reduce the amount of garbage. They’re a primary source of all that trash - food packaging, cleaning up their shit, all their fur…

Then of course there’s the obvious “sort your shit - recycle what you can, compost what you can”.
