Whose fucking definition?

It's really hilarious how they create arbitrary "definitions" for themselves and pick and choose when and how to use them.

Have to put down people of developing countries? yea, you're from third world country. It's suddenly about standard of life, civic sense, and freedom.

Falls to fascism like it's just another weekend and lets police run like brown shirts, does very little when they build concentration camps and climate choking machines, now the condition for "first world" switches to "we're still 'first world' because we defined it"

Fuck right off with your made up definitions. You can self assign yourself whatever the fuck you want, doesn't mean rest of the world has to adhere by your "definition".

    Right, and also every other Android manufacturer is expecting data harvesting telemetry throughout the lifetime of the device to make up some additional revenue.

    Google and Motorola are going to be getting none of that with Graphene OS. Users will have to do that themselves (install their apps), if they want.

    Something tells me these war mongering democrats never expected the results to turn out as they did, and now have to use excuses to wiggle out of responsibility people expect of them.

    Even from the framing of this, you can see they tailored these words so you can't really criticize it without sounding like a crazy violent person.

    Then everyone becomes tired again, because there are no consequences for the Epstein class. And on the next run, they'll blame everyone for not voting for them. The cycle keeps rolling.

    I hope people like sanders, mamdani, aoc, and el-sayed can break the cycle.

    Apple admits to secretly giving governments push notification data - Ars Technica

    There are a lot things that are hidden to public, until they are accidentally revealed, and then they are FORCED to admit it. They have many many layers of obscurity where some parts being secure relies upon and could have intentional backdoors.

    Take a look at article above, you could have the most "secure™" app, OS and protocols but if the company running the OS is funneling data to the government, your cult like loyalty doesn't mean shit.

    They'll never admit to anything and can just call everything else an inadvertent bug. And people will eat it up, and the cult will defend it like their personality depends on it.

    You'll probably blow it off as a conspiracy theory or "apple bad" or whatever else but if you've kept up with cyber security, government leaks and developments in surveillance technology, this is how spying works.

    A harmless traffic camera becomes a surveillance terminal. If you still choose to believe it's still just a traffic camera, you do you.

    The last time I posted about this, there were quite a few comments crying that this was so long ago and he already was scolded publicly or whatever.

    Those people are vile. The kind of people that led to society being more apathetic.

    You're doing good work

    Go out and VOTE. That's the least fucking thing you must do as a citizen.

    But spare us the theatrics, US is patently evil. You can try to lower the evil, however history will still remember your complacency.

    Now go ahead with ad-hominems.

    "There's nothing we can do, says the country that couldn't stop virtue signalling about their superior 'constitutional' rights that would prevent authoritarianism"

    As always, they will deflect, whine, whatabout, and circlejerk to make themselves feel better about doing nothing.

    If anything good happens, by chance, they'll be the first to take credit. If not, it's just what it is. They'll never claim responsibility of their failures and blame it on some boogeyman.

    Funding a genocide was completely acceptable "lesser evil".

    Tells you all you need to know.

    The fix (anticlimactically small, as the best ones are): instead of cramming featured into the bundled comparison and letting Postgres faceplant, we just say up front, “we’re past the pinned posts now, so filter featured = false,” and then only bundle-compare the columns that actually matter (score, time, ID). Same posts. Same order. Postgres now estimates correctly, picks a sane plan, and the results:

    ~25 milliseconds. Down from up to 100,000.

    That’s roughly a 4,000× speedup

    This looks like something tbat should be considered by the upstream. Are you panning to create a pull request?
