Well, we’re on federated social media here so it doesn’t apply here, but the big tech owned social media certainly can suppress things they don’t want spread.

Rogue superpower swinging its dick around. About time to move all our business elsewhere.

Bought the Fairphone with e/OS.

Problem is many see Android equivalent with Samsung and Samsung is the worst when it comes to customize your HW because they really lock down their shit.

For my phone I just bought a new battery after many years of use and it’s back to working as if it’s new. Before that I had a Shift phone (with Google, I think) which allowed me to replace the camera module once the autofocus in the camera broke.

Not sure if I’m old fashioned, but I like to own my devices and modify them if I please.

My wife would hate it, if I were no longer reachable.

No. I haven’t used Google apps on my phone for years already. That includes Google Play Services and the Play Store. Most apps are open source and I’m self hosting my media.

We gotta claw this shit back.

There’s stiff competition. Good for the consumer.

I disagree that this was the original purpose, but we heard the argument often enough from defenders of the 2A… and don’t hear anything now.

He’s making a great case against whatever business he’s in.

They have a law that “allows” Den Haag if an American is brought in front of the court there.

To make sure it can’t turn against the good guys, of course.

Why count them at all?

True, but there are ways to still communicate secretly, especially if you only need to organize locally.

I mean taxes and fees are a percentages as well, why would a minimum wage be a fixed amount. Changing circumstances, regionality and inflation are not new concepts for lawmakers. A fixed $25 is actually not a great idea, but I get it’s better than status quo.

It’s not a defense of the LLM. They are bad tools: LLMs can be unpredictable and if you hand them a nuke they may trigger it for whatever reason, even harmless and unrelated ones.

So don’t hand them a nuke, idiots.

I was kinda for it, but with the dangerous rise in quasi-nazi party AfD, I wonder what’s the point of banning a nazi flag… and it’s even more ridiculous that foreign ethno religious supremacists enjoy that level of protection.

Of course I’m not invested in individual transportation companies. Even less with the ones refusing to set on EVs.

With all the stops, cycling is usually faster unless the route is uphill or you really don’t have a lot of stops and probably need more.

The guy betting on this even ran in to try and make Trump dance by shooting the ground under his feet like they did in old Western movies, but that didn’t work out either.

Not mentioned in the article but Gemini is obviously developed by the DeepMind teams, among many other things.

I don’t think utopias are a bad idea in general, but if they somehow are only reachable by collapsing most of the current system before any groundwork can even be attempted… a form that can be developed in parallel and take over at some point makes much more sense.

Think about the transition and hopefully it doesn’t require nuclear war.

Check the rotations settings. It’s off by default.

I can still do this with my FP4 running e/OS. Just had to put a checkmark at 180° in the rotation settings.
