The best idea I ever saw on tumblr was that average rent and minimum wage should be linked, so you can't raise rent without raising minimum wage, and you can't keep pay low without keeping rent low, which would hopefully lead to landlords and bosses fighting with each other

This is why you can’t trust Europeans with their regulations, they are just as corrupt as the Americans. And I love regulation, but the politicians that end up calling the shots are as stupid, tainted and corrupt as our trumpian overlords.

We truly are ruled by crooks.

Europe Is Sanctioning Critics of Israel and Militarism

Sanctions were once sold as a gentler foreign policy tool for exerting pressure on dictatorships and terrorist organizations. Yet measures like banning individuals from having bank accounts or traveling are increasingly used to chill free speech in Europe.

You know what, I may be physically exhausted due to old age. And I may be mentally burnt out due to over work.

But spiritually...

I know we should not stop talking about the Epstein Files.

In case it isn't already abundantly clear, when they say "woke", they mean "treating people who aren't white males with fairness".

And the very next video is about *not* using AI for everything because it's not a panacea nor can it work with vague and unmeasurable outcomes...

It's weird that the company who can't go a single meeting in a single team without pushing AI has allowed this kind of "negativity" to be part of their training.

All I’m seeing on Facebook is “if he could’ve paid the TSA sooner, why didn’t he” and I have been pleasantly reminding everyone that it’s because he wants to hurt people

While your 401Ks evaporate because of Trump’s War, you can rest assured that Trump’s family and rich friends are making a killing on the stock markets by buying stocks at discount prices based on insider information from the White House and from Trump himself.

AI "training" at work and... It's weird and irritating to me that the whole "revolution" is just "What if we made super huge neural networks?"

I was reading about basically this tech back in high school but we didn't have enough stolen data and fast enough processors to do *this* with it.

There's no revolution, it's literally just yesterday's tech made really big.

With iOS age-gating users in the UK, you may be asking whether to get rid of your iPhone? Will Google will soon follow?

The answer is simple:

Your next device should run an open-source, degoogled operating system: iodé will never include privacy-invasive technologies in iodéOS. #iOS #Android #enshittification #diday
