We (the kids in our neighborhood) learned gambling at a young age. For some, this was associated with compulsive behaviors, criminal misconduct via mafia-associated illicit gambling rackets, and further organized criminal activities.

Gambling is a vice. Where there is a vice, other vices exist.

I agree with your comment primarily but suspect that the influence on life outcome of learning gambling at a young age is environmentally and culturally dependent.

Great effort in a great lang.

Constructively speaking:

Hacker culture could benefit from less frameworks to more low code/no code platforms (which is a space with more fertile ground)

Did Snowden's leaks prove this, or was it simply reported by him?

In any case, I believe his report on this matter was accurate/truthful.

Linux / X11 arch and monolithic desktop arch in general will never suffice if endpoint security matters (for multi app desktop envs)

What you're missing is, at best, the tech to achieve this without actually needing the camera placed inside the room, will exist at scale in this century. At worst, it is already deployed in "hot" areas (areas significant to national security, experimental areas).

The question becomes how to control the inevitable proliferation of commoditized mass survelliance.

Privacy in the future will require a level of defense not available via common residential/commercial construction methods. Hell, even a SCIF eventually won't help..
