He doesn’t have a chance, because it’s going to be a fair primary all the way thru.

I’m not sure the Dems remember how to do one of those.

They will have 100 different reasons to invalidate the results anyway.

That’s not fair. They are still working super hard to disarm the people in blue states.

Something maybe wrong? I have 58k photos and it didn’t take anywhere near that long. If memory serves, I just let it rip overnight and it was done the next day.

I think your description is reasonable, however I’d argue that they are not security cameras. Rather a nationwide public surveillance network intended to circumvent the 4th amendment.

Flock doesn’t secure people or property. They merely catalog the movements of people and vehicles for future law enforcement work, allowing both current location searches and comprehensive retrospective location history searches, all without warrants or court orders. Again, not picking on you here; just adding some color because while security camera is easy to understand, it also has a connotation that is quote different from what flock does.

Could it be that he observed that the so called “agentic” operating systems (current versions of Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android) are essentially screen-scraping everything people do, and funneling it to the intelligence apparatus? Security researchers have been squawking about this for a while, and even recently the Signal Foundation CEO pointed it out. Or is that too mundane? Is it much worse? Intelligence gathering tools like Microsoft Recall are an intelligence agency’s wet dream.

The election interference thing certainly doesn’t strain credulity, but wouldn’t he be able to disclose something so wildly illegal? That is the whole point of congressional oversight.

OK, so after a bit of poking at it:

1. I agree. The OnlyOffice mobile Android app (called Documents) is a much better mobile spreadsheet viewer/editor than Collabora.
2. What’s even cooler is that the app works with Nextcloud as a cloud backend. So I can log into my existing Nextcloud instance and get the benefit of the better sheets editor on my existing files with no extra work at all!
3. They say that OnlyOffice supports markdown as of version 9, but I think they mean the broader platform itself, not the Android app. For example, you cannot create a new .md file from the mobile app, and if you try to open an existing .md file, it displays a “wrong file type” error, but it does successfully open it as a .docx.

In any case, since it works with Nextcloud, the app, out of the box, is already a more functional mobile spreadsheet editor. That’s a big win in my book. Thanks!

Face detection as well, and partnered with Amazon Ring.

Admit nothing, deny everything, and make counter accusations has been the standard argumentative tactic of “the good guys” for generations.

Haven’t tried it. Is it better in this regard?

Yeah. That’s what opencloud uses. Their app does a handoff to Collabora.

Ill have a look at Joplin. Thanks.

they would have won the AI race not by building the best model, but by being the only company that could ship an AI you’d actually trust with root access to your computer. […] So why didn’t they? Maybe they just didn’t see it.

Apple has never been a early mover, they always intentionally come very late to the game. And Siri has been well behind the curve for more than a decade. Leading the way in a new product domain like this just isn’t in their DNA.

I think the author is right that people would have trusted Apple, but people use co-pilot, and people use Gemini. The bar for trust is already pretty low.

lol, right? I was literally thinking "What about Arc?"

I’m not having any issues with my current setup

I’m lazy. I just want things to work. So in your shoes, I wouldn’t go trying to create work if things work fine.

I run Debian on my home server and my VPS, but I chose it for familiarity and stability. I wouldn’t say Debian is inherently barebones; you can add/build whatever you want. It is a longstanding, capable distro that is the base of many other distros. It’s a solid choice that favors stability. And if things are working with Mint, why break them?

By contrast, I run CachyOS on my laptop because it’s a newer laptop and the rolling release model of CachyOS (and Arch, which it’s built on) gets the updates and hardware support I need to make my laptop work. It’s simpler, better, and less work, and significantly more functional than it’s be with Debian, because the rolling release distro moves fast. My home server is 10 year old hardware, so the more stable Debian is fine.

Faking disabilities is hardly unique to Stanford; it’s rampant in California. There are sometimes significant benefits afforded disabled people, and very little detection and enforcement of disability fraud.

I’m not suggesting it would take much, I’m merely suggesting that the dipshit isn’t serious and shouldn’t be taken seriously in this context. He’s not even trying to make a logical, reasoned point (as evidenced by the fact that he’s an order of magnitude off on what they national debt is). Here is merely a cog in the maga machine, tasked with saying dumb shit any time a microphone is in front of him.

I’ve been suggesting to friends for a while that the US government (where I live) is likely to start debanking their critics. So I’m not surprised to read this, I’m more surprised at how uncommon (or perhaps under-reported) these sorts of events are.

I’m also not familiar with Qonto or French banking. Does this person have rights? Are the french courts functional, and does this person have a good chance of prevailing against Qonto?

Church is fiction for profit. It’s foundation is dishonesty. This one ‘dishonesty through omission’ is a rounding error. You can’t expect them to have any sense of shame about this.

The thing is that he’s right

He’s not right. The national debt is way fuckin bigger than 3 trillion. He’s also wrong in presuming that an infusion of productivity (tax revenue) can “solve” intentional over-spending. He’s just a serial scammer spouting uninformed nonsense to stay relevant.

Absent a warrant, probable cause, or some exigent circumstance, isn’t “likely to escape” just a charged way of saying innocent person going about their business?
