  • The Republican Party Has a Nazi Problem | How did the GOP become a haven for slogans and ideas straight out of the Third Reich?

    Jump

  • Trump proved that the "moderate" right would tolerate the inclusion of actual Nazis, white supremacists, and other fringe right-wing groups (along with previously unaffiliated weird counter-culture groups like antivaxxers, conspiracy theorists, flat earthers, etc) as long as meant they won elections and got their supreme court picks.

    The "moderate" objection to extremists was always nothing more than a fear that it would cost them elections, it was never really an ideological or moral position.

  • Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site

    1. You don't.
    2. Easy. The device constantly captures images of the user and checks them against the user image on file
    3. By scanning a government issued ID and checking against an online database with poor security.

    the one where ross says a slur

  • Worth noting that the original n-word version is the title was taken from a popular song at the time the book was published.

    I point this out to demonstrate that this book title wasn't a weird cultural aberration, it was plugging directly into popular culture of its era.

  • 'It's happening': Journalist warns Trump's UFO order a smoke screen for something bigger

    Jump

  • It's just going to be thousands upon thousands of transcribed "tips" from crackpots calling the Pentagon and FBI and anyone with a phone or email address.

  • Roblox Hit With Multimillion-Dollar Suit By Los Angeles, for Creating Largely Unsupervised Online World That Enables Predatory Pedophiles and Give Them Powerful Tools to Prey on Kids

    Jump

  • Roblox literally monetized unsupervised access to children as a premium feature.

  • Is there some sort of public blacklist of known youtube channels made with AI?

    Jump

  • That's like walking into the shit store and asking if they sell anything that isn't shit.

    Sure, they do, but your going to have to paw through a bunch of shit to find it.

  • Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert

    Jump

  • The difference being that the Hindenburg was a perfectly functioning rigid airship that had a lot of inherent risks due to the nature of its design.

    AI isn't good enough at its actual job to be in this position. The risk of AI is people pretending that it works when it doesn't. It would be like if you made a blimp and filled it with carbon dioxide and people kept buying tickets and just sitting there waiting for it to take off.

  • Fairphone 5 bricked by faulty Android 15 update

    Jump

  • Agreed. I still have to get into the terminal pretty routinely to do things that don't have an effective GUI (let alone a touch capable GUI) and that would just be a deal killer for any kind of mass market handheld device. The steam deck is the closest thing that I can think of to something that could sorta be considered a proof of concept for Linux consumer devices and that took a LOT of money to develop and a massive built in revenue stream to support.

    If I got a free wish for a new valve product it would probably be for a vertical Gameboy pocket (or even folding Gameboy advanced) sized hand-held steam deck with a sim card, radios, and a mic. Probably only about a hundred people would buy it, but I would be one of them.

  • Fairphone 5 bricked by faulty Android 15 update

    Jump

  • The idea is that there is already a bunch of shit developed for Linux so you aren't really starting from zero. But yeah, I agree with your overall assessment. No one is going to be making hardware for this.

  • Sure, my answer is limited to social media because that is the question that is being asked here.

  • Do Democrats Have a Plan for the Post-Trump World Order?

    Jump

  • "Whatever the rich people tell us to do, same as always."

  • Samsung knows exactly how you'll use Galaxy S26 Ultra's 'Privacy Display' in teaser

    Jump

  • I remember when narrow viewing angles of an LCD screen would cost you ratings on a review. Good move marketing it as a "feature".

  • What unusual/uncommon item(s) do you always keep around for a perfectly logical reasons?

    Jump

  • Which is hilarious because a loaded gun is more broadly legal in the US than a collapsible baton or a long knife.

  • Gov. Newsom expanded free preschool. Now private daycares say they can’t afford to stay open

    Jump

  • Putting overpriced private daycares out of business is the entire point of providing free pre-school, no?

    Like, "oh no, we can't rip people off anymore"

  • Mark Zuckerberg Lied to Congress. We Can’t Trust His Testimony.

    Jump

  • This article starts out by observing that Zuckerberg committed enough crimes to be sent to prison under existing law and then argues that the only solution is more laws?

    How about we just start making rich people subject to the same set of laws as everyone else?

  • Leaked Email Suggests Ring Plans to Expand ‘Search Party’ Surveillance Beyond Dogs

    Jump

  • The whole "find lost dogs" thing was likely the result of a single meeting with the agenda item "how do we sell this thing we are already doing as anything other than mass surveillance for state actors?" They probably ended it early.

  • Mark Zuckerberg will testify today in California in an unprecedented social media trial that questions whether Meta’s platforms deliberately addict and harm children

    Jump

  • I guess we've just decided that it's okay to addict and harm adults.
