Batman movie dialouge
from IMDB, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox voices the consternation perfectly:
Batman: [seeing the wall of monitors for the first time at the Applied Sciences division in Wayne Enterprises] Beautiful, isn’t it?
Lucius Fox: Beautiful… unethical… dangerous. You’ve turned every cellphone in Gotham into a microphone.
Batman: And a high-frequency generator-receiver.
Lucius Fox: You took my sonar concept and applied it to every phone in the city. With half the city feeding you sonar, you can image all of Gotham. This is wrong.
Batman: I’ve gotta find this man, Lucius.
Lucius Fox: At what cost?
Batman: The database is null-key encrypted. It can only be accessed by one person.
Lucius Fox: This is too much power for one person.
Batman: That’s why I gave it to you. Only you can use it.
Lucius Fox: Spying on 30 million people isn’t part of my job description.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to help EU digital sovereignty (and get out of the US at the same time)?
1·2 months agowork for Linux based companies in europe like Open-Suse makers from germany that support these goals. Maybe Siemens and Bosh have some competent Linux folk as well, but I would guess they still heavily trade with the US/Tesla.

… my cat when I took her out for a walk
Your cat follows you on a walk? I see this sometimes, but usually I thought cats are more independent and tend to stray away from their human.
