@gruber assuming these reports about Apple using Gemini are true, I wonder if the rate is discounted as a kind of handshake agreement to provide favour elsewhere while mitigating a repeat of their search deal antitrust litigation (although they would need to avoid a paper trail if that’s the case).
@Taco_lad if it ain’t broke
@nschultz I’d try the Erdinger, Germany is pretty good at alkoholfrei beer

𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight"A government does not announce that they have become fascist. A fascist government announces that anti fascists have become enemies of the state.
This is a real video shared on official white house social media channels. It has not been doctored or edited in any way. I did not add any music, sound effects, or graphics.
America is living under the Fourth Reich. The President is a clear and present danger to the people and to democracy.
@NewtonMark The police force could earn much more respect by, I don't know know, firing people who do awful stuff like this.
@leaverou @sachagreif seems like a reasonable list. One that I'm not sure fits neatly into these is Lodash/underscore templates (server or client side).
@johnzajac broadly I agree — looking at the history it's clear that democracy was after brought in with the cooperation of the ruling powers because the alternative was violent overthrow — but I think it's reductionist to say that's "all it is". Not every democracy is dominated by rich men who bought their way to power; in some democracies the people are downright distrustful of rich people and unlikely to vote for them.
JohnSomething that's become clear to me over the last decade is that the systems we have in place - "Justice", NLRB, FDA/EPA, even democracy itself - are all mediating tools created by an imperial ruling class to insulate themselves from the immediate consequences of their own decisions and actions.
It's also become clearer and clearer that our current ruling class didn't get the memo; they don't understand the purpose of these institutions isn't to *restrict* them; it's to *protect* them.
