Over the past week, I've installed linux mint on my gaming computer and have been absolutely blown away by how much it just completely replaces my need for a windows machine. I have definitely determined that I still need to use windows occasionally if I want to run everything... but very little.

Why is this advice always aimed at children avoiding their parents, and never at older people belligerently and inevitably regurgitating Facebook opinions so offensive their own kids would rather skip Christmas dinner than endure them?
Yeah, no thanks.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

It’s truly astonishing. No other politician or public figure can get away with what he’s gotten away with
The level of plot armor Trump has against, not even things that would sink another politician, but would get any other human set on fire forever, is so total & unprecedented I’m beginning to think the only possibly scientific explanations are genie’s wish, warlock powers, alien, or actual Antichrist
I know, I know, Trump raped kids & was accessory to killing a baby & the source is an official gov. doc they gave us, but have you considered Kamala laughed weird, Biden said the wrong name, Dean yelled too loud, Kerry was boring, Dukakis looked dumb in a helmet, Obama was black & Hillary existed?

Charlie Kirk is one of the best modern examples of how whiteness eats itself.

It’s an ideology that *always* ends in death for its most ardent followers, as the rapid decline of white populations are showing.
Turning Point USA was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery

Two of their major policy pushes were a more prominent gun culture and zero COVID restrictions

Bill Montgomery died to the COVID virus

Charlie Kirk died to gun violence

Be aware that if you do that, there is a real chance that they’ll try to indict you for hacking, and I am mostly not even kidding
So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Friendly reminder that the last folks to send others to concentration camps ended up hanging by their necks in short drop gallows. the short drop doesn't break the neck so the condemned suffocated for 14-28 minutes.

which is STILL less torture than what the CECOT victims suffered.

Now that aside, CAN you use a chatbot to knock you out of a creative rut?

Yes

But you're going to be handed the most generic fucking idea, and if you follow that line of thinking, you're going to stonewall yourself out of ever making anything remotely good

Ask literally anyone else, ANYONE. ELSE.

What you're doing is the equivalent of asking a StarWars addled 10 year old for design ideas on your scifi game

I'm not joking that's literally how these models work

Can you argue him off StarWars? Sure. But do you know enough Extended Universe lore to catch when he sneaks back into it? You don't.

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”

Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, Flock’s Condor cameras track people, not vehicles.

The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way.

This should become the biggest story of the day. This kind of mass surveillance shouldn’t be okay at all
These cameras can be set to automatically zoom in on people and follow them. Flock left the admin panels for these cameras exposed, where people could download 30 days of footage, change settings, delete things. We found them at playgrounds, bike paths, parking lots, street fairs:

Would love to see @cityofsunnyvale.bsky.social pull the plug on the Flock cameras. It's not responsible and it doesn't make people safer.

SCOOP: Flock left at least 60 of its AI-powered, people-tracking surveillance cameras exposed and livestreaming to the open internet. We tracked ourselves. The exposure highlights the power of these cameras and types of things they're tracking. Not just cars.
