I had scanned through it, and it looked like the exact same stuff that Google and Microsoft say. Paraphrasing: “we value your privacy” “we’re de-identifying your data” “the processing occurs on-device”…

Apple probably is better on privacy than other big tech corpos, but it’s a race to the bottom, and they’re definitely participating in the race.

Apple is the best on privacy though right?

That link is just awful. Very difficult to tell where events are or how big they will be.

It’s definitely highly edited. It probably isn’t AI, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the editing was heavily AI assisted. I found the original source on reddit itookapicture 1 year ago, which isn’t 100% evidence, but AI was way worse then and it doesn’t have any of the telltale AI signs.

back during covid

Few people mean this literally. We all know covid is still around and will be quite possibly forever. What it means, depending on context is “during covid lockdowns” or “during covid restrictions” or really just 2020.

It’s not a pandemic anymore, it’s endemic now. Get both your shots every year now. Covid isn’t the new flu, it’s flu’s new buddy.

I see drake: I downvote. Simple as.

The failing was decades and centuries ago that led to this. Power has been consolidating in the presidency since the constitution was signed as the legislature and courts are happy to give more and more of their power over to the executive.

We’ve only been protected by being lucky having presidents and their staff with genuine care for the intent of the constitution.

This was only a matter of time. It wasn’t our fault. This is America.

Thanks for braving the cesspool. It’s like those heros who bring back the gold flakes from shit pile that is 4chan.

Casualties is not the same as dead. A lot of those guys will be injured too badly to fight but not dead.

Why would an optional feature be a deal breaker?

It also seems like an issue that could be easily solved by whitelisting.

I think what is happening is that Ukraine believes that signing the deal will result in a range of outcomes from neutral to positive, depending how and when the US renegs on their side of it. But without the deal the outcomes range from neutral to very negative, so making the deal is the clear right move even if you believe it won’t do anything.

Google TV is the easiest to get rid of ads on. I have a Sony and a Hisense both no ads.

Look up and use the Projectivy Launcher.

You’ll also want to sideload an app that forces the default launcher to Projectivy (can’t recall the name) because they don’t allow changing it through the stock OS. Projectivy tries to use accessibility settings to take over on its own, but it breaks some other features so I don’t use them.

All of the fires are :(

While the palisades fire is showing a lot of very rich folks that their money doesn’t make them immune to fire, there are a lot of relatively regular people who were barely hanging on to their homes in a very expensive area who lost everything and could be financially ruined forever.

Don’t get me wrong, vanishinlgy few of those in the palisades were poor before the fire. But a lot could be now if they were uninsured or if their insurance fucks them over.

There’s a bunch of apartment buildings in the area that burned down too. Families who were protected by rent control lost their apartment and now where do they go?

You better get out those tissues. They’re already starting https://www.lg.com/us/smart-monitors

Sony. I got last year’s open box for close to 1k. It runs Android so I have a ad free launcher called Projectivy and can sideload apps as well.

This is an example of free press in action. The Post is getting ruined by Bezos and his corporate interests, but they are free to publish the cartoons they want to and not publish those they don’t. More folks should be resigning from The Post.

100% anything you can do is great.

My girlfriend and I have each been putting $50/month into an investment account instead of paying for insurance for our dog, that way if she ever needs a big procedure I can pull money from there if I don’t have the savings for it. We’ve been doing this for 3.5 years and have now built up a good amount! I’ll divide the numbers roughly in 2 so you can see what you could be looking at:

Total $2750.
Deposits $2200.
Gains $550.

I thought I was on NCD at first.

Pretty ironic
