Please don’t shout. I’m very sensitive to noise and I left my loops at home.

They’re really upset we keep organising protests about things they don’t want protests about.

Like climate or g-cide.

Much better to sabotage or intimidate them in the organisation phase.

Silly plebs should trust in Keir.

There’s some absolute charmers on there.

me too! i actually sold my maga hat and bought a soviet flag and gave away my belongings to a homeless man who needed it more than i do. i cant way to see all the wonderful things socialism will do for NYC!

“Fake it till you make it” is a time-tested business strategy.

Especially when you’re considered too big to fail.

And also when you don’t consider survivor bias when trying to “learn” from the success stories of the past.

They’ve all got so much invested in AI that they’re not going to back off.

Any kind of acknowledgement of failure might pop the bubble.

I wasn’t talking about kagi, I was saying staying “off google” doesn’t mean you aren’t being tracked.

Its a good start but you’re probably being tracked by your credit card, supermarket loyalty card, TV, operating systems and any ring camera you happen to walk past.

Also I think a lot of supermarkets are trying out facial recognition for “security” reasons. But probably they’re watching how you walk and shop etc.

Thinking you can avoid it completely is bold. Data data poisoning is (maybe) the only way to break even with the data companies.

I’ve got a bit of cash for services I want to support, and I only use it as a good search engine. None of the customisation stuff. No AI.

And I find it worth it.

I can only imagine the enormous defamation lawsuit the manufacturers are preparing behind the scenes.

I imagine that it’s possible they’re waiting for either RFK or Trump to not be in power any more, as that inproves the chances of a success (and also not getting the “woke beer” trestment).

The loss of earnings portion of the lawsuit could end up in the billions.

Trump’s been spending a lot of time and effort to have us not look at these files.

At the very least when gifted the files he’s been trying to distract us from, we should take a look.

And then perhaps take some time to revel in their contents ;)

Some people find power in performing a “submissive” act.

Other just find it nice to SCHLORP GHHLOORP GUUUGK SCHLORP.

Different uh… strokes for different folks.

Some of his original victims have actually got old enough to vote for him!

Don’t forget about paying back triple what you borrowed!

I don’t think they’ll be prodigies or anything but they probably know literally one or two tricks or weaknesses that they heavily depend upon.

So you can never really feel secure (that’s not to say take no caution).

I know my guy’s barks pretty well.

He’s super vocal though so I’ve had time to learn.

He’s got a kind of honk that’s for initiating play.

A polite “buf” that’s an attention/request noise (though it can intensify with agitation).

And then a smorgasbord of stress or demand barks that can blur together a bit but often can be worked out in combination with frequency and body language.

Plus also the manic “that’s my purse. I don’t know you.” He reserves for when he hears anything like a dog near our house.

I’ve yet to find a game that I couldn’t play (though knowing me I probably forgot one or two). It’s mainly mods that I’ve not been able to implement, as some of them require running an exe file.

However I’ve had very helpful people tell me I can do all that in a wine instance or something similar so mainly it’s just my own laziness (and lack of understanding about how to “do it in a wine instance”) that’s holding me back from installing fancy modpacks or playing the latest Stalker gamma version.

Also i don’t play multiplayer stuff so the anti-cheat thing issues don’t usually apply to me. So there’s that.

Because if I die I’ll miss the rest of the Kingkiller Chronicles.

They will surely release any day now.

I’ve been with them for a couple of years now. Unfortunately the devices just doubled in price but I’m very happy with them otherwise.

D. I need my Tim Tams.

I’m grateful. It was the push I needed to stop using windows.

If they’d made it even vaguely tempting I probably wouldn’t have bothered.
