RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years

False. All data has value. Vitals can 100% be used to sell targeted ads for pharmacuticals, supplements, lifestyle brands, gyms, and more. Also if it has a microphone it's listening to everything.

I think some org could take the initiative and offer a standard protocol for "that" to communicate to this service.
Then you could wear something FOSS and clearly not spying, but send some information (if you so wish). Maybe no location, but vitals. Maybe no vitals, but location (suppose you want RFK to see a big "FUCK THE GOAULD" on the map).
Cause when you put enough money into a project, it might actually happen.
This is also the mistake everyone made about platforms and social networks.
I'll repeat again my idea that similarly to Usenet, there should be standard protocols and universal services for a global public system replacing those (Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Google, whatever). You need a service to store data to be always available - have a standard for that service. You need a service to do some computation - have a standard for submitting a task and storing the result (until retrieved or maybe to the previous kind of service). You need a service to search for objects (common task, yes?) - have a standard for that. You need a service for notifications real-time - have a standard for that too, NOSTR does that now. You need some way to financially incentivize people to provide these services - have a "resource market" service, something like MMORPG item markets (where players script their trade with simple constraints, very easily), to buy&sell space&computation, with payments provided with something like GNU Taler, or BTC Lightning if nothing better. Need common identification - well, there's OpenID, but one can also have cryptographic identities and identity caching services. Need to actually aggregate hundreds of those services for every task - if search service is not enough (suppose we want to also make search and other services somehow partitioned, or something like that, to accommodate for amounts of data), then have an aggregation service (similar to torrent trackers) or maybe just use DNS for that. Structured machine-processable results of those services allow you to never depend on one platform and have everything they offer. With the specific "kind" being provided by the client application.
Humanity in our time has all the technologies it needs and none of the will.

He reminds me of the 'precious bodily fluids' general from Dr Strangelove.
edit:
holy crap, I just rewatched the movie and RFK is EXACTLY that general. The general talks about toxins from fluoride in drinking water poisoning our precious bodily fluids. He even looks a bit like RFK. Its almost RFK is trying to act exactly like that general. -

My watch runs for years from a coin cell. There's no way that I'm replacing it with an internet connected spy device that constantly needs to be charged.

Vitals? You mean location. They don't give a rat's ass about your vitals.
schrieb am 25. Juni 2025, 09:59 zuletzt editiert vonThey'll have a lot of fun correlating your media consumption and your vitals to know exactly what you like and dislike, especially about politics. Then they know who to target for layoffs, arrest and/or deportation.

RFK jr’s wants, needs, desire to continue breathing move me not at all.
He can fuck off.
If we had a science-backing and non-Nazi government who I had any belief in their ability and will to keep our data safe, this might be really cool. When I first got an Apple Watch and saw all the ways it benefits me I honestly wished everyone had one by default.
Instead, something like this would simply be used to further control people especially women since it can track monthly cycles (to my knowledge at least.)

As long as the wearable contains open source software and preferably open source hardware, then sure, I'd be willing to do so. Because then I could know that I could control where the data went.

You know what else would help? Annual (or more) blood tests during routine wellness checks with your doctor.
Do you know why most people don't get those?
Insurance won't cover them.Many insurance providers won't cover them.Maybe start there? Although I'm guessing he has no buddies who would make money from routine blood tests.

American evangelicals when the government suggests getting a vaccine for a deadly virus- "IT'S THE MARK OF THE BEAST DON'T GET IT OR YOU'LL GO TO HELL"
American evangelicals when people they voted for say you need to wear something on your wrist to participate in society - "This is fine"
A wearable computer is much more similar in form to what is described in the Book of Revelation than a vaccine is, but these dumbasses don't see that because they're not operating on logic but instead are just doing what they're told.
