I’m on Graphene with nearly all FOSS apps

I assume this is referring to China. Ask anyone in China about their generous social benefits, which are even more paltry than in the US, and you’ll see how “left” the Chinese “Communist” Party really is

We’re on the brink of another Trump term --Justice Judy may well happen in the next year or two…

The post-Nader Green Party is a joke, but the DNC is the party of Reagan and Cheney, so… Those in glass political parties that serve only to undermine the left electorate’s political power shouldn’t throw stones

At least it was underground, limiting how many people were in the line of fire, every few years they open fire at someone on a major avenue in Manhattan in a crowd. Good times. I’m so glad the democratic party destroyed Scott Stringer by bribing his ex-gf to falsely accuse him of being a sex pest to ensure the DNC’s man, Eric Adams, the biggest shithead to ever come out of the NYPD, could become mayor-king of NYC, guaranteeing Guiliani-level daily police misconduct with impunity.

A number of VPNs have anti-tracking/adblocking features, but idk how well they work – I refuse to use an OS with OS level ads, so I never see non-browser ads

I would argue all of these things were possible sans “AI” (although it would have been sold as AI in the 90’s) via existing heuristics adequately developed if people knew that was the desired application

I think at this point it’s clear that when the CIA doesn’t do it, ala JFK, you get Hinckley or worse losers, as demonstrated by all post-Lincoln attempts on republicans

If ONE emo kid had befriended him in high school and showed him how he could talk to girls about Death Cab, all of this would be fine… There’s a mirror earth where Rivers Cuomo is this in the W era…

The backlash to this is going to be fun. Having lived through the .com boom/bust, which wasn’t a scam, the web was actually the future and was undersold if anything, no one with the stink of computer on them outside of a tiny elite could get decent fulltime work for like 5 years. AI is a scam, full stop. It has virtually no non-fraud real world applications that don’t reflect the underlying uselessness of the activity it can do. People are going to go full Butlerian Jihad from Dune when this blows up the economy, and it’s going to suck so much more for everyone in tech, scammer or no…

But the hundreds of constituents who called him to report their dog being eaten by Haitians but not the cops are real, right?

Trump’s political instincts aren’t what they used to be. Giving ground on an issue, no matter how unpopular your position is, only helps your opponent because it tells low information voters “actually the other side was right about this all along and I’m bad on this issue.” Unlike the DNC, which has never seen a position it would defend, the GOP usually has the political savvy to barge through, polling be damned, since the only thing the american electorate respects is strength. Glad to see them screwing the pooch, especially on this issue, but VERY odd for both Trump or the GOP overall to make this kind of DNC-flavored error of spinelessness that only helps the other party both structurally on the issue and during the election at hand.

We need to break out the Liz Truss lettuce. I give this less than a week before they walk it back.

I guess this is the one Tory policy they aren’t onboard with

At some point you assume the dam must break with US healthcare profiteering, but they always find another way (which is why I wanted Obama to follow up on his 2008 primary promise to do Card Check for unions and not less than Hillarycare Romneycare bullshit he ran against the premise of, literally saying “if you could solve healthcare by mandating buying coverage you could solve homelessness by criminalizing it”)

At the point where the feds are paying Israelis millions to break your boot shit, they’re paying dudes to watch you type in your password or any number of other things. I’d argue as long as you’re not among the [number of prey] the predators are looking to take down at the back, for whatever category of shit you’re in, you’re fine

I remember a time like six weeks ago when blue MAGA would have given this concept 100000 down votes. Funny how times change in two months with people who basically a human botfarm
