Well, two things. First, Grok is refusing to do the image work because it is considered adult content, not because it can't 'read' the image. You're also doing image to image work, which isn't the same as making generative AIs unable to derive art style from images.

Is the last part of the sentence necessary? America is failing, that is honestly enough.

I'll be honest. At this point I don't think it can be saved. Not in the form it currently is. The axe has been wielded too wildly, and too much road has been paved to enable even more shifting of wealth. The restructuring can't just be a presidency. It has to be systemic.

Getting a warrant involves a judge. The judge will ask "What reason do you have to demand access", and most of them will fail to provide a legally sound reason. Because they HAVE no legal reason to demand access to your phone.

It absolutely can. Thermal runaway can easily happen due to a short. And if you bend the hell out of a phone the wrong way? Yes, you most certainly can cause a short that could overheat the battery fast enough to start a thermal runaway.

No. We do not sully the peace price just because your authoritarian regime doesn't want to comply with its own laws. This problem is entirely of your own making. Don't ask us for a fix.

That's not how GDPR requests work. You get *your* data. As for third party processing - Bluesky is a federation service. Any third party can connect to the federation stream and view all the content you post, in real time.
This is turning feathers into chickens.

Not the king, and most certainly not a quote from the King of Norway. Although he certainly has a sharp sense of humor, this is not something he would say, well-deserved or not.

Are you going to wake up and do something soon, Americans? Or are you going to ignore the blaring alarms right up to the point of no return? Because if you can't see the cliff you're heading for by now, you are being willfully ignorant.
Do something. Act. Because you are running out of time.

Like all insidious things, it crept out of the darkness, slowly. Back in the 80s, we were shining lights in search of them to root them out still. Being fascist was asking for a kicking.
But when you drive them into hiding, all they're doing is waiting for a chance to slip back out into the open.

What I choose to put in my bio or not has no bearing on the matter. If you can't face up to criticism from even just another voice in the masses, you may want to consider your stance rather than the source.

Really? You are going to point your finger at the people who already have served, and done their part, and ask why THEY aren't acting? Sure. Keep pushing the responsibility onto other people. That is how you got where you are in the first place. The buck stops with YOU now. Fucking act like it.

They have served their terms. Where the fuck are you? Why aren't YOU on the barricades at this point, taking responsibility for the direction of YOUR country? Stop shouting for someone to act, when the onus to do so is on YOU.

They won't do with you as they please. They will keep stretching the rubber band until it breaks, and their nation crumbles around them. They might at some point TRY. But that will be as much an end to it as the collapse from inside.
Canada is made of stronger stuff than that.

Someone posted a few days ago they were so psyched up the world wasn't laughing at America anymore.
They're right. You can't laugh at this anymore, because it is too disgusting to stomach with a straight face.
If you can say that you are a proud American today... You are part of the problem.
