And what I’m saying is it doesn’t take more time to opt out in my experience. Its just as quick to get manually verified as to be biometrically scanned.

¯\(ツ)/¯ maybe, but as long as I have the option and it’s not tedious to do so (which is the case), I’m gonna opt out and encourage others to do so. Fair enough if your perspective is you want to accept whatever new security theater data collection is implemented in exchange for some perceived convenience. Making your case here with me in this conversation has taken more effort on your part than opting out of facial recognition at the security checkpoint in an airport would have, and I find that fact amusingly ironic.

I’ve been in and out of DFW, BOS, and JFK since these facial recognition scanners went in and I can tell you with a great deal of confidence that there’s no additional wait time, or queue, or anything else if you opt out. There’s a TSA agent right next to the scanner who collects your ID whether you get scanned or not. That’s the same person who otherwise just checks it if you opt out. What are you even on about? Maybe its different at some airports, but I’ve been opting out every time I fly and it’s no big deal.

Actually no, they look at your face and your ID, make sure the information matches, and move you along. No secondary inspection, no difference except you didn’t get scanned with facial recognition. It’s the same process as before facial recognition was implemented.

Why even write that comment?

Oh not a troll, just a moron. How sad.

Are you a troll? Why would he lie about this? I’ve been on both sides of this, I self-hosted my email for over a decade, then just this year made the switch to proton. This guy isn’t lying, if you set up your DNS, DMARC, SPF, etc, properly, you don’t get the issues you’re describing unless the receiver has misconfigured or over-protected their inboxes. And surely you’re not thick enough to think the same line of code on Proton’s side is responsible for sending an upgrade link in the web-app, and in an email. That means it’s a separate issue, a different bug, if you could even call it that.

Its seems like you’re just angry and feel like yelling at anyone else that doesn’t coddle you and your particular perspective. They’re trying to share their knowledge with you and you’re getting angry at them for that. Aim your anger at those who actually deserve it.

Me too, though, while I’ve seen him be critical of tactics, admittedly I’ve never seen JCS do an entire episode about crimes committed by the police themselves.

Are you sure there’s a conspiracy here, and not just a bunch of folks laughing at and copying a popular meme format?

Because its funny, I like Taylor a lot, no one is totally guiltless. This isn’t about making people accountable, its about making people laugh.
