I’m not optimistic on this one, since one of the features of huge corporations is that the institutional shareholders that own them appoint the person they think will deliver the best YoY growth and Earnings Per Share. For a company that’s mostly saturated its market, this means enshittification and thumbscrew-tightening on its existing customers.
Dems know exactly how they could get a massive landslide in the midterms, and are choosing not to do it.
Imagine being 18 years old and this kind of insanity is all you’ve ever known.
Does she refer to it as “hora militar” though?
Am I having a Mandela Effect moment because I have a clear memory of them releasing the source way over a decade ago

Up until today I’d just assumed without thinking about it that she wasn’t involved in any of the scummier Epstein dealings, but she’s just done a good job of making me question that.
Paying for public schools from city-level budgets and local taxes is one of the many things that I don’t think most Americans realize is weird about America. Normal countries fund their public schools from a national or regional budget so that kids from poor neighbourhoods don’t get even more shafted than they already are.
Phrases like “renewing my subscription” in context of a fucking doorbell itself sounds so absurd to me.
Why? It’s logical to want your video footage held offsite so that burglars don’t just take the device you’re storing the footage of them on. Which means paying someone to store it for you. Which means a subscription. Even if you’re running AgentDVR on an offsite server that you control, you’re still paying money to the hosting company.
A raspberry (or the likes) with some run-of-the-mill ip-cam, some wifi-doorbell and AgentDVR would do the same for even less moneyz. And just for you, not the whole world. Wouldn’t take more than some hours of setup.
Wow. Do you have any idea what you sound like there?
(also, it’s not even true on its own terms. A raspberry pi plus all the components and equipment necessary to set up what you’re describing would be easily over $100, I paid $19 for my Chinese internet camera)
eh, you might have a spare day to source a completely uncompromised camera and find someone in a trusted neutral country who runs an unproblematic hosting service and configure a system to do offsite storage in a secure way, but I’ve got other stuff going on. If you can source me a reasonable alternative I’m happy to use it when it comes time to renew my subscription.
I bought a cheap Chinese security camera for a fraction of the cost of a Ring and signed up for their cloud storage system. I’m more comfortable with the Chinese government being able to access footage of my backyard, than the current US administration.
One of the top AI apps in the local language where I live has ‘Doctor’ and ‘Therapist’ as some of its main “features” and gets gushing coverage in the press. It infuriates me every time I see mention of it anywhere.
Incidentally, telling someone to have a little meth is the least of it. There’s a much bigger issue that’s been documented where ChatGPT’s tendency to “Yes, and…” the user leads people with paranoid delusions and similar issues down some very dark paths.
Yeah I mean this isn’t a Face Turn on his part, he’s a bigoted fascist who’s pissed off that Trump’s bigoted fascism has its list of targets in a slightly different order to his
