We really are living in a cyberpunk dystopia.
that quarter-billion dollar-plus superyachts, and the VIPs who own and cruise in them, may be vulnerable.
Then don't cruise in them but instead sit in a bunker like you deserve or alternatively, don't be a rich shoddy.
Privacy is a fundamental right though
"Privacy for me, not for thee" means I, as a non-billionaire, get my privacy back before I give one iota about some billionaire not being able to hide a mistress on his super yacht.
Is it still a mistress if he can't get it up so she has to slurp it as best she can?
Calling her a cleaning lady seems more degrading than the situation is, to me.
And the billionaires like Zuckerberg that make a lot of money trying to track you everywhere you go on the internet or with your cellphone factor into that statement where?
You know they are not all the same person? Nevertheless even Zuckerberg has right to privacy, not to ours, but to his
When anyone else has an actual right to privacy I'll give a shit about Zuckerberg's -- who btw has done more to destroy privacy rights than perhaps any other human being in history -- "right to privacy".
And private yachts in the same category as private jets: transport in public space.
"Fundamental" is awfully subjective, though, isn't it?
Absolutely, I don't deny jt
I mean the rich yacht owners have a reason to be afraid.
Its not difficult to build a drone with an explosive payload used to sink ships. And attacking rich people with violence is so hot right now
Are there any videos of these drone vs yacht battles?

Care to send a longer link?
We and our 1287 partners
Hahaholy shit!
Is this a "drones are coming to harm us" thing or a "paparazzi drones are taking pictures/videos where we thought we were out of sight" thing?
It's partly "in case we're deciding to be idiots and go to active war zones" stuff, but I see those rich fucks using military level weapons against civilian drones because they can afford to act above the law.
Crazy things happen in international waters
So you know that guy who tracks elon Musk's jet? Do we have an equivalent for billionaire's yachts?
There’s are some good ship tracking apps
Link? Is there a billionaire filter?
I think it’s findships on iPhone. No, you would have to know the ship which is a quick search away I’m sure. It’s very good! I used it previously for container ships
I wait for one of these systems to interfere with a legal drone operation or better some other radio/radar systems. Some countries will ignore it,but other very very much will not. And that will be a very happy day for me.
Violence towards Billionaires will only justify further well funded and aggressive responses.
And the responses will be good for the economy!
I'm not surprised. Ukraine has taught us that drones can be a cheap and shockingly effective attack vector for ships.
If you find out that for $200 or often less you can remotely deploy a drone that sinks a ship, you're obviously going to look into defensive measures.
The drones attacking ships in Ukraine are boats loaded with explosives, and they cost much more than $200
This mini-doco on drone warfare in Ukraine is bone chilling:
That was really interesting.
I've got to admit that I felt that elation/rush that they felt when finishing off that guy on the field.
Horrible that the Russian is probably just a normal guy, but they are the invading force attacking a sovereign nation.
Foss app idea: librewardrone
It uses itself as the weapon.
What about under water drones where the payload floats to your hull instead if dropping from the sky?
Gotta get serious about yacht safety if you wanna do all those wonderful pornhub things in international waters.
Dronepedo?
