The Gemini app. I can't uninstall it from my phone but I have it disabled. Not sure if Google's other account access and apps on my phone are going to still feed into Gemini.

If I have the app disabled it probably can't do anything right?

This is a really common Chinese espionage strategy. Every military base, department of energy site, and defense contractor is surrounded by properties owned by Chinese government shell companies for the purposes of surveillance

It's a classic move by totalitarian states, Fascist Italy and the Soviet Union used the same tactic (North Korea continues to use it). And unfortunately it was pretty effective. No one really believed the people shut away were actually crazy, but they sure were scared of being disappeared to an "asylum", "psychiatric facility", or "reeducation camp".

This is literally how the soviet union suppressed dissent in the 80s. Disagreement with the party was legally considered a sign of psychological issues. They did this to replace the gulags.

It's incredibly common tankie propaganda to depict Russia as somehow returning to, and defending, a modern form of socialism. Which many tankies eat up eagerly since the modern Russian state descends from the Soviet one, and Russia was (up until 2 months ago) the largest enemy of western capitalist/liberal democracies.

Wasn't Scott Ritter a pedophile???? Who the hell thinks taking his word on foreign policy is smart when the man is that evil?

Arguably the air force was also just too scared of flying wings to give them the development they needed rather than the tech being unsolvable at the time. It's a shame that none of the prototypes were preserved
