Yeah these things are Rorschach amplifiers. It tells you a lot about the person writing the prompt.

What are people still doing on the Internet? There are Nazis on the Internet.

Do you know how bars get filled with Nazis? Someone notices a Nazi and someone shrieks that everyone’s a Nazi and people leave and let the Nazis take over. It’s fighting the Nazis that keep the Nazis at bay, not running away from them.

Generally if it should be easy to find and you’re reading a shitty article, it can be easily found in believable sources.

I’m 99.9% certain the article is talking about ex-FBI agent Johnathan Buma. There are many articles about him, but I wasn’t aware of it (been tuning a lot of news out lately, tbh). All details match and he was very recently interviewed by ZDF (significant legit German news organization) for a new investigational documentary about Elon Musk. I posted it in a different comment that has video of some parts of the interview (English with German dubbed over top). There’s also a link to the full documentary. I started watching it but haven’t finished.

Well in the interim I found someone spamming the same text on Linkedin. In another comment they’re linking to a ZDF interview with Buma from the 12th so it’s probably about that.

So odd that a lawsuit and bail is mentioned and yet no actual details. A variety of advocates and etc are supposedly outraged and up in arms etc. And yet no deets. Almost as if some website with Kiev in the domain might be spewing bullshit against Russia. Definitely doesn’t smell like desperate LLM bullshit.

It’s still up 55% vs one year ago. Yeah it’s fallen from its post-election run up which peaked around the new year, but frankly it just looks like it’s gone back to pre-election value and trend.

I keep seeing this analogy and unfortunately that’s not how email servers work so it never really helps honestly. The servers are the To: fields, not the From: fields. And there’s also no real analogy about privacy. With most email providers the intent isn’t that everyone reads everyone else’s email. So frankly I really don’t know what insight this is supposed to provide if it doesn’t behave like email.

And there’s a big safety difference. With something like Bluesky you have to trust the server admins to behave. With ActivityPub you have to trust each and every user of the service. Which is why server admins get shirty about whether they will forward messages to or from other servers. That whole situation doesn’t really exist with email. It’s not like you have create a Hotmail account because Gmail has decided to defederate with Google or whatever.

I haven’t tried it, but I am interested. The main feature I’m looking for is hands-free use (reading messages aloud, replying, responding to commands). This doesn’t mention any of that but I might give it a try.

In the old Android Auto you used to be able to just turn it on and get all those functions but after Google got rid of that and keeps changing how we use phones while driving betwwen apps they keep cancelling, the only thing I know to access it now is to turn on Google maps with navigation to a destination which is pretty freaking annoying when all I’m doing is driving back and forth from work and I don’t need all Google Maps commentary about which turn I should or should not be taking or that I’m in the parking lot rather than driving into the front door.

Edit: I installed it. I first tried to find it on F-Droid, it wasn’t there which seemed odd. So I installed it from Play Store. It’s a FOSS frontend that requires you to sign up for damoov account. Basically it seems to just be a demo app for damoov API. No idea what damoov is and what they’re doing with the data. Based on what they mention in Play Store and the startup screens, my guess is they are an API intended to be used by insurance companies to develop apps that monitor policy holders.

Do you use a VPN? I’ve noticed a lot of cdn’s have become very hostile to VPNs over the last year. Initially I blamed the VPN but I’m pretty convinced it’s the cdn’s at this point*.

*This is because I started using a private linode server as a tailscale exit node and boy does the internet hate that IP with a passion. Toggling between using that and my home computer as exit nodes is somewhat fascinating. The web is so rude when I browse from my linode box. So… now I use the linode exit node to let the jerks take themselves to the curb. Anyway images not loading randomly is one of the telltale signs of a jerk website. It even happens when using Google One VPN or Cloudflair’s WARP+ nowadays. Switch them off and use my residential IP exit node and presto it all works again.

Generally the logic is that once the fetus has reached viability (i.e. capable of being removed and continuing life without the mother), then acts that result in death of the fetus are no longer necessary nor morally valid. It is reasonable to expect the fetus to be removed from the mother and provided life support at that stage.

The two women told detective Ben McBride of the Norfolk, Nebraska Police Division that they’d discussed the matter on Facebook Messenger

… why would they do that?

I mistyped and meant Relay. Some apps are already dead. RIF supposedly still works when logged out, but won’t work when logged in. Probably has to do with whether the developer disabled the API key to avoid a bill.

It’s temporary. Infinity’s developer is working with admin to create a subscription app and pay API fees. There are a few doing that (Boost and a few others). They’ve been given some sort of a temporary exemption pending update rollout. You can see posts explaining this in their subreddits.
