  • Trump, hoping to salvage midterms, makes dubious pledge to give every US adult $5,000 if GOP wins

    Jump

  • Fuck that, even if my vote could be bought I know how often he stiffs his independent contractors.

  • Jimmy Kimmel says James Talarico interview won’t air on TV after Trump’s FCC threatened his show

    Jump

  • I say do it. The more time you can put these ghouls in front of people and ask them questions they won't want to answer the better.

  • Trump’s latest 'manic' binge evidence of 'neurological decline': psychologist

  • Onlookers fear ‘something very wrong’ with Trump as he claims US ownership of the moon - Raw Story

    Jump

  • Its sad that it takes such ludicrous displays before people acknowledge that “there is something wrong with Trump”. And then large chunks of them will in the next breath continue to support him.

  • Pete Hegseth is talking about a possible run for president in 2028, sources say

    Jump

  • Ah you're right. I had to go back and read the specific text. Been so long since I have sat down to read any of it I had forgotten that was covered.

    I stand corrected

  • Gonna try and pull a Putin with Trump?

    Take Trump as his running mate, then if he wins resign so Trump can be President again.

  • NVIDIA reportedly buys HuggingFace for 13 billion

    Jump

  • I would be less concerned about it being the end of uncensored models than I would be Nvidia finding ways to make sure there are no free models hosted there that work well on anything but Nvidia hardware for the foreseeable future.

  • Flock CEO Garrett Langley targeted as address shared online

    Jump

  • Dude also has his house blurred out on Google Maps street view.

  • Cancel culture

    Jump

  • "whats going on here? what are we doing?"

  • uBlock Origin Is Giving Up the Fight to Keep Ads Off Facebook

    Jump

  • Spoken like someone who has clearly never actually tried to put that kind of thing into practice.

  • GrapheneOS says Revolut is blocking its users over Google Play checks

    Jump

  • As shit as it is there is a every growing list of things you had better just be prepared to not interface with on your phone if you are going to run a Android phone without Play Services installed.

    Flip side to that is once I switched my Pixel to GrapheneOS without having access to things that only work right with Play Services the phone became way less interesting outside of phone, text, casual web browsing, and photos. Which is probably a good thing.

  • Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

    Jump

  • I can't say AI hasn't changed how I work, it has. Instead of going to Google, vendor docs, or the manpage for whatever code or system I am working on I will ask Claude or Gemini to take a stab at building the initial pass of the code or to look up what some cryptic error code means for me. Or even a better way to write some code that I think can be more concise.

    The key I think is I never let it make the final decisions for me. The workflow is always look up information > shows it to me > ask for permission to do the thing > do the thing.

    But none of that is "changing everything" in the way executives and the Sam Altman's of the world want to profess. It is just a sometimes more efficient for me way of doing the same thing I was doing before.

    A lot of people I have seen that crow about how they are using AI to change their work lives are just doing really fancy Github workflows and actions to automate something they used to still do manually for some reason. They rarely are doing anything that couldn't be done with the time to research and test without AI.

  • Fuming Trump, 80, Melts Down Over Embarrassing Poll Numbers

    Jump

  • As long as outlets like the Daily Beast keep talking about him and keeping his name out there he is getting what he wants. You want to hurt Trump, one of the best ways is to not pay any attention to him.

  • Mark Zuckerberg's Pivot to AI Is Blowing Up in His Face Spectacularly

    Jump

  • Outside of Facebook what has he been responsible for that didn't blow up in his face? The only other things Meta has that aren't thus far miserable failures are Instagram and Whatsapp, both of which they bought.

  • More Americans now support banning phones all day at school, not just in class

    Jump

  • Jesus, show us on the doll where the bad man hurt you why don't you. Can we not have a joke about anything benign these days without someone coming along to make it about the wrongs of society? And before you say it, yes, the things you mentioned were wrong.

    Chill out, I wasn't making a statement about race relations, intolerance, bigotry, or medical ignorance. It was just a joke about long phone cords.

    You must be a miserable bastard to spend much time around if this is how to react to such things in real life as well.

  • More Americans now support banning phones all day at school, not just in class

    Jump

  • Can we just ban them in general? We used to be a proper society and had our phones on the kitchen walls with 25ft cords.

  • US accuses American of allegedly wiping his phone using a 'duress' password during border search

    Jump

  • Not once law enforcement tell you it is relevant to an ongoing investigation.

  • US accuses American of allegedly wiping his phone using a 'duress' password during border search

    Jump

  • He would have had a lot better legal leg to stand on I think if he had just refused to give them any passcode. Now instead of a potential case of being forced to compel speech, he is facing what will be argued is an attempt to destroy evidence. His defense is probably a lot stronger with the former than the latter.

  • Sen. John Fetterman says he’ll leave the Democratic Party if it ‘officially’ becomes ‘anti-Israel’

    Jump

  • Who cares, he votes for the Republican talking points most of the time anyway. Grow a spine already and make it official.

    What he wants is the party to cross the made up line he has drawn in the sand so he can switch affiliation “guilt free” and be able to say “ look they made me do it” when pressed about it.
