Wheeling around corpses to secure votes is nothing new nor is it exclusive to the gop

You can just have this tested at most psychiatrists. Genesight is one version, there are a few. If your insurance covers it you basically just have to spit in a cup. If you don’t the cost is capped at $330 for genesight which is a lot. Their argument is that in that case it can still be worthwhile to avoid paying for meds that aren’t a good fit. That said this is a bit absurd as most first line psych meds are dirt cheap. Like fluoxetine is like $25 and you can often get it down to 0 with those prescription card things. If they start you on pristiq or fetzima then it’s way more, hundreds per month, but if your psychiatrist is starting you with those they’ve been corrupted by a pharmaceutical rep

And Israel

Keep in mind Apple has a poorly documented and mostly unknown daemon called knowledgeconstructiond that cannot be turned off and solely exists to profile you based on accessing every Apple apps data - ical, messages, mail, photos etc, which is astoundingly personal info especially considering a lot of Apple users dump everything into stock apps, as the “strength” of Apple has typically been consistency of the platform

https://8rank.ai/game/apple-intelligence-personal-knowledge-graph

The person who wrote that article vibecoded an app that allows you to visualize the data captured: https://github.com/8rank/iKnow

It is basically all the gross shit that ad networks do. What does Apple do with this data, that has been aggregated since macos 13? Officially it’s probably to “enhance the user experience” but at a minimum it probably changes how Apple delivers ads to you. do they sell it? Who knows

that manufacturer would have a fraction of the sales. They’re all doing this because data centers buy way contracts are simply more lucrative; the planned rollout of data centers means they’ll sell so much more that they simply can’t accommodate enthusiasts and home builds

This is of course the goal of people like Altman and bezos, they want to hoard compute after hoarding 99+% of all the wealth amongst like 50 people. This is why resistance to data center rollouts is so important and to a further step fair distribution of resources as a political platform. This mess wouldn’t exist if oligarchs were reigned in

Those fabs would need to be retooled. So intel spends billions, butchers their ability to fabricate their core product line, and all so that they can now fabricate a deprecating asset. By the time they got up and running ram prices would be about to drop significantly as 2028 has Samsung, micron, and sk Hynix all opening expanded fabrication capacity. Not to mention if the 3 main ram manufacturers take ~2 years to get additional capacity online god only knows how long it would take for someone who hasn’t fucked with dram manufacturing since like the 80s

Who’s gonna pay for it? A ram fab costs hundreds of billions and takes years to get online, then takes tens of billions every year to constantly upgrade to new standards. And all that for a commodity that while right now is obnoxiously expensive is typically a razor thin margin and sometimes even sold at a loss

I think it was just a typo and they meant 1pm

No there are tons of Chinese people who are in the medium stages of learning English but also intricately know the drama surrounding an American television producer for kids shows from 20 years ago

The user base isn’t homogenous

I like that Claude can jailbreak consoles and decomp and port games quickly. These are projects that are cool, have utility, are obnoxiously difficult and or tedious, and exclusively unpaid. Is it better if some super coder does it all? Probably, but the unpaid bit means progress is painfully slow and limited to people doing passion projects. But is it also cool I can play a bunch of retro games natively on basically any platform and then jailbreak a ps5 to run Linux and steam? Yes

there is myst 3, 4, and 5 with 5 being a definitive end to the series

If you liked myst and riven you’d probably like them as well. The series was pretty strong if you’re into the whole “narrative over gameplay” thing. At the time they were also widely regarded for the graphical quality but that obviously didn’t hold up

If you liked those point and click adventure games the journeyman project trilogy from presto studios in the same era is also great, though there was supposed to be a 4th installment that was cancelled. The Lucasarts and sierra games from a bit earlier in that genre (the dig, sam and max hit the road, Indiana jones and the fate of Atlantis, day of the tentacle, police quest, kings quest, monkey island, etc) are also great

Getting all of these games to run on a modern pc is a bit of a headache though. Some are on gog and some have support in scummvm but not all. The renaissance of point and click adventure was like 1995-2000 and the genre really died around then. Great games, although they can be extremely frustrating and obtuse at times

Bro stormfront was launched in 1996, and they were active in usenet prior to that. nazis have always been on the internet to meet, distribute propaganda, and recruit and they and fascists have always had a notable presence in tech nerds

7” lcd with driver board that’s hdmi compatible so super easy to use, $3.39

The mesh network of TVs to circumvent one not having internet is definitely possible and an accusation thrown around a lot but afaik it’s never been shown to be true. This thing with Samsung searching for usable mics is the closest thing I’ve seen to something like that

That said I would not even be a little surprised if it turned out to be happening

Yes, for lg at least

(Formatted for adguard)

This blocks lg ad servers, telemetry, software updates. If you have an lg tv and connect it to the internet though you should also root it and install the package that blocks telemetry services on the tv as well. Or just don’t connect your tv to the internet

That’s for lg. lg does similar data collection and telemetry but it’s more clearly known as webos has been rooted for years with a pretty active homebrew community

https://repo.webosbrew.org/apps/ooo.lew.lifesgoodwithoutspying/

To disable most known lg telemetry bullshit, though it helps to block the servers in your router/dns server too though

Samsung uses tizen, which has been rooted before and there is a homebrew store (tizenbrew) but the amount of apps is pretty sparse

As always though the best solution is to never connect your tv to the internet

She is straight up a former idf member. They aren’t just supporters, they are virulent defenders of Israel’s genocide

This is what people mean when they say dark patterns. There’s now decades of research on ergonomic and intuitive interface design. For a brief time there was a general effort to make things more usable but we’ve reached the point where advertisings penetration into the internet is so deep the opposite occurs; usability is purposely hampered to trick you into consenting for things they’re aware you would otherwise never want

There is no scenario where delaying treatment improves outcomes. If you know you can at least intervene

Users propose tag names and definitions, community votes to pick which tag is “official” when competing tags exist as well as the “official” definition, either automated approval when appropriate (overwhelming majority support) or moderator/admin intervention when it gets dicey (50/50 split on a bullshit semantics argument)

Something like that. This is a solved problem that exists on several aggregator websites to help alleviate categorization. This approach also means that users can propose new categorizations for existing content when OPs are lazy and don’t tag content. Then someone posting us politics news can be filtered without filtering the rest of their content regardless of where they post it
