  • Majority of Android users aren't sold on Gemini Intelligence, survey reveals

  • What's worse is they've added it to Android Auto. A couple days ago I told it to call my wife and it proceeded to search for local businesses containing my wife's name.

  • 'Fuck you, Bambu': How one private message could change the face of 3D printing

    Jump

  • Bambu has been adding controls to their printers to force commands from your slicer to go through their servers before being sent to your printer. This had caused some stuff to stop working, like 3rd party AMS systems.

    One guy forked (copied it and made his own changes to) their code and removed the restriction. Bambu didn't like that and threatened him to take it down, while accusing him of falsely impersonating them to make API calls to their servers.

    The dude is like "I didn't impersonate shit, I just forked your code." Bambu's code is just a fork of other open source software, all under an open source license. So they have no authority to tell someone not to fork their code, since it's all open source licensed.

    So a lot of people have banded together to push back against Bambu and are ready to take them to court if necessary. They see this as a step by Bambu to try to make their printers more restricted (only use their addons, their filament, go through their cloud, etc).

  • Trump immunity from IRS audit shocks experts, who warn it could undermine trust in tax system

    Jump

  • The IRS probe revolved around whether Trump doubled-dipped in cutting his taxes, according to a 2024 report by The New York Times and ProPublica — specifically whether he used the same losses from his Chicago skyscraper to cut them twice in future filings, a big no-no.

    What the fuck kind of shit ass reporting is that? "A big no-no"? What are we, fucking toddlers? How about highly illegal and a felony deserving of prison time?

  • Why new grads are booing commencement speakers: There's an 'ambient anxiety that AI is going to make things dramatically worse'

    Jump

  • Music executive Scott Borchetta told graduates of Middle Tennessee State University on May 9 that “AI is rewriting production as we sit here.”

    When the jeers ensued, he doubled down, saying, “Deal with it.”

    “Then do something about it,” he added as the boos continued...

    Based music executive. Hyping up people to go burn down data centers.

    Trump's Reversal on China Buying U.S. Farmland Angers MAGA Supporters

    Jump

  • "Look, it’s not that I love it. You want to see farm prices drop. You want to see farmers lose a lot of money, just take that out of the market."

    What the fuck? How is this a real quote?

  • TIL that eating dirt was common in the U.S. South until the 80s. People ate a handful a day, often seasoned with vinegar and salt.

  • I'd say it does a pretty good job. I hardly ever jack off while eating Cheerios in the morning.

    Claude helps man recover $400,000 in BTC 11 years after he got high and forgot password

  • 45,000 votes will be discarded in Louisiana. Gov says it’s ‘not a big deal.’

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is clearly a big deal. They started having an election and then cancelled the election after it had already started so they could redraw the districts and get a better outcome.

    Could you imagine if they started voting for the presidential election and then they were like "hang on, we didn't like where that was going. Pause for a few months so we can redraw the districts"? People would (rightfully) be losing their shit.

    Rep. Johnny Olszewski proposes bill for 18-year Supreme Court term limits

    Jump

  • Good point about people resigning early. That would probably be a problem no matter what. If someone was at 16 years, they would probably be incentivized to retire early if they thought the next president wouldn't be from their party.

    Right now, judges almost never resign, so they just happen to die whenever most of the time, which allows conservatives to replace liberal judges and vice versa (in theory). Resigning early would likely be a huge problem.

    Might have to do something like say each president gets to nominate a maximum of 2 justices. Those two justices being the people with the longest tenure on the court. If someone dies, that counts as nomination. If the president has already used their 2 nominations, then the next president will appoint a replacement.

    Rep. Johnny Olszewski proposes bill for 18-year Supreme Court term limits

  • Seems pretty straightforward. But do we really want to give Trump a chance to get 3 more justices that will rule the courts for the next 18 years?
