wait all i've seen is the specs why does it suck
That's why liberals still embrace baby-brained patriotism and believe in America as a force of good in the world. They're still trapped in the right-wing mythos/propaganda in which all Americans are raised. Some are simply naive. Others have a malignant narcissism that will ensure they never grow.
The most obvious difference between liberals and leftists is that liberals see Trump as an outlier to a system that is somewhat flawed but mostly works, and leftists see Trump as the logical conclusion of a system working exactly as it's been intended to work for the past 40 years.

reminder if you use a chatbot, smart home devices, search engines, basically any unencrypted service, whatever you say is visible to those companies, who will probably call the cops if they notice you talking about something illegal on their servers.
beyond anything problematic or embarrassing this applies to sensitive information you wouldn't want leaked. some have gotten too trusting of anonymous systems. it may be a useful exercise to treat these bots as you might an employee themselves, beholden to company policies handling customers.
so, to be clear: ICE has been doing neoStarlight Tours, if instead of taking natives a three hour walk out of town in -40° and ditching them there without their personal effects, to kill them, they drove folks hundreds of kilometers away and ditched them without their personal effects, to kill them.

The French hated it so much they called it “un biopic really really bad”

while i have been convinced the CNN reporting wasn't as responsible as it should have been i've been really concerned about the "moral panic" framing popping up more and more
Jimmy Concepts et al made careers of pointing out the foibles of the left leaning scholarly press in rejecting ‘objective truth’ but for ever niche journal article about ‘post colonial queer physics’ or whatever there’s a hundred right wing anti science influencers
RFK Jr. told the House E&C Committee today that the way to bring down healthcare costs is to "clean up the risk pool" — remove the people who cost too much. He said the $4.3 trillion we spend on chronic disease is the emergency. He said most of Minnesota's autism services funding was stolen. 🧵
focused on one website and one Telegram group. He said, "I think the CNN reporting represents only a small part of a much larger international rape network which was already uncovered by my colleagues Isabell Beer and Isabel Ströh." He noted his colleagues discovered "dozens of Telegram groups with up to 70,000 members and rape videos reaching millions of views." He also said their findings "triggered a political debate in Germany."
btw you're "only about 1000" number is also misleading for similar reasons. the number of files featuring likely sedated women was 20,000, and you're leaving out the other 70,000 users from other telegram groups.
surely this overhyped technology will not in time fall victim to the same forces of enshittification that have made everything else in the 21st century suck ass
vendor lock-in my beloved...
gross!!!
scrapers? fuck em
so basically there's no way to use those sites without participating in a DDoS which is really gross. also I did swallow my morals and try, and it was super slow and didn't load lol
I'd love to use the archive dot today sites, but they were caught using some extremely underhanded tactics against a random blogger who speculated on the admin's identity, including modifying their captcha page to DDoS that blog from visitors' devices
Made a tool for easier viewing of long and convoluted post threads and trees. Input a post URL and get a graph overview and concatenated runs of single author threads!
most milquetoast organization ever that frames hate in terms of "extremism" so they can also punch left STILL gets sued by the Trump admin. jfc
I really wanna read the WSJ article that this one is based off of, but alas... no WSJ subscription money
charging per token sets you up for terrible perverse incentives, in the same way that building impressive datacenters per GW does
If bluesky has been saying for the past week "we are getting DDoSed" and 313 group has been saying for the past week "we are DDoSing bluesky" it seems like that's the most parsimonious explanation
According to previous anti-vax cycles (it is a recurrent cycle, an outbreak of hysteria every 50 years or so) the antivax fever will end after mass death of children. That usually does it. One would think we could skip the mass sacrifice, but no. We won't. #MedSky
Congrats on the find!
A black graphic with large abstract purple bubbles in the background. The white text says: WARNING: DO NOT RUN AI AGENTS ON ANY DEVICE USED TO ACCESS SIGNAL What is an AI Agent? Agentic AIs are programs that access all the data on your device to do autonomous tasks like manage email or make reservations. Examples include OpenClaw and Microsoft Recall. An AI agent is not a chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude. Why not? AI Agents save everything that appears on your screen, including Signal messages. Storing encrypted or disappearing chats (potentially forever) violates community expectations of privacy & puts all your contacts at greater risk of surveillance. Is Signal still safe? This is a human error problem, not Signal's error. Signal remains the best tool out there for private messaging. What the absolute F#@K?! How can I stop this? Help keep each other safe by sharing this message to your Signal groups and contacts. Learn more + yell at Big AI over at AISnitches.com - Your friends at Fight for the Future
Warning: Do not run AI Agents on any device used to access Signal or other content that you want to keep safe + unsurveilled.
We made this graphic to be posted in your Signal groups to explain what the threat is. Share it widely if you can.
