Third or fourth time he’s said this, at least twice recently.

Fixed. Thanks.

Thank you and corrected.

The only answer is that the people that like him figure his shitty behavior supports their shitty behavior. And they’re not wrong.

Yeah, just read that article here. Follow the money. They never stop enshittifying, trying to force people into walled gardens that are as shittily built and expensive as possible.

Trump is utroubled with that level of thought.

Theee things: He’s absolutely stupid. He’s a self-centered narcissist. He’s immune to consequences.

The confluence of the two and the power he has lets him do a lot of self-serving…well, everything. From money to bullying to whatever.

And his position protects him from any consequences. Which lets him keep doing everything he’s been doing.

Never ceases to amaze me that people refuse to believe or need to be reminded that Russia, China and others are actively and aggressively trying to undermine political and social stability in the US. Social media troll farms and bots, hacks of infrastructure, and apparently now preventing leaks of information detrimental to trump’s SS.

I’m highly ambivalent about the use of AI for porn. On one hand it’s unequivocally bad when used to make porn or images of unwilling and unknowing people, doubly so when shared publicly and/or used maliciously.

OTOH it allows creation of whatever fetish or kink someone might have that might be difficult to deal with outside of fantsy and harms nobody so long as it remains contained.

I can’t get into the psychology of it, I don’t know if casual use of such imagery bleeds over into real life problems. Obsessive use would obviously be a problem, but that would be a problem with or without AI.

I know Parks got all the fame while this lady got very little recognition, but it makes me wonder how many other acts of defiance on buses like this that got no attention.

How he thinks he can make more billions by forcing yet another subscription model that takes ownership away from individuals.

Instead of ever-bigger screens thanks to flip open folding displays, how about the same size phone that flips open to an easily usable qwerty board?

Fuck I hate this timeline where we throw money at people for being on one team or the other. I mean, good for him and all, but this is BS.

Since when does the DoJ base their decisions on how to enforce the law on public opinion? What the ever loving f**k kind of law is that? Oh, the fake kind they make up as they go along.

I’m not sure compression would solve the issue I mentioned - this would be probably more akin to using Napster to DL a song in 2001 via dialup, or trying to get an image off a newsgroup at best. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be useful, just very limited. Like I said, you’re not getting a full distro this way.

I don’t think you’re going to be downloading a linux distro over this system. It’s probably just going to be text and the most basic data,

I can make pretty basic burritos. Alfredo sauce with pasta. Basic caesar salad. Cookies. Budget chicken noodle soup.

Ask a decent question in a reply without engaging in argumentative fuckery, like appeals to hypocrisy, trying to be right via technicality or specificity, etc.

Add relevant info without the aforementioned arguments.

Add humor - hopefully without derailing the entire discussion like reddit does in a fight for upvotes.

But as long it sounded like he was addressing their fears, the most frightened people struggling to make ends meet latched onto whatever false hope he gave them.

Bit of a differenceI should point out – trump addressed their fears by giving them someone to blame with at best a nominal economic statement. LGBTQ, libs, Biden, “elites”, brown people, foreign countries, etc. were all to blame.

He never actually had a plan to offer anyone on how he was going to fix things other than by punishing the scapegoats. “I’ll lower prices” vs a boring, difficult to understand, years-long effort to maneuver industry and economics in a positive direction for the middle and lower classes.

Finally saying out loud “feels before reals”.
