Let's be clear about what #Google has been doing. They've been switching #Android users' phones from the legacy Assistant to #Gemini, even though Gemini cannot properly execute many of the directives that legacy Assistant can perform. This means that Google is KNOWINGLY breaking users' home and other action routines. In fact, the fine print actually notes that Gemini can't do everything legacy Assistant can do, and Google still switched users' phones over anyway. I had to go digging all over to find the setting to turn off goddamned Gemini for Assistant functions -- it had been switched to Gemini even though the Gemini app per se was not installed! This should be ILLEGAL.

Anti-Genocide Activism Is Terrorism In The Empire Of Lies

That’s right, welcome to the empire, where peace activists are called terrorists, where hospitals are called military bases, where facts are called blood libel, where people opposing genocide are called hateful Nazis, where genocidal soldiers are a protected group and chanting for their death is a hate crime.

No big deal.

The question was, would they make that exchange?

I don't believe they would, because #1 and #2 affect their political power directly and the left is ONLY about power.

You can see their reaction to Mamdani saying he as black (i.e. no big deal to them, because he's a communist) versus the reaction if it was anybody else.

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says Hamas requests for changes to truce proposal ‘unacceptable’."

As expected. He always does this.

The tragic death of 32 people in flash floods in Texas was due to rainfall probably magnified by the effects of the climate crisis.
The disaster was made all the more likely by the gutting of weather service and other government agencies built up over decades to keep the population safe.

Gee......This all looks familiar..

Where have we seen behavior like that before?
Where have we seen signs like that before?
Where have we seen people like that before?
Where have we heard complaints like that before?

Yet we're always told that this behavior is 'grassroots' and spontaneous..

This behavior and these actors are a cancer. Treat it accordingly and excise the cancer before it kills the body whole..

n_n how many days has it been now since i got the first complete proof of concept working model's parts working (with the basic static 1 image format style and 1 config format ~ not the any-in-any-out aspiration yet), procrastinating on getting it neatened up...? [ over a week now? two? ] n_n i'm driving in muscle memory for the 4 commands current, rather than wrap them up into 1 command. a working dtcp shall appear, if the cosmos allows it, if i make it so. n_n

What a stupid blog post. 1Password is closed source. As pretty as it is and as much marketing hype they're able to buy you will never know if there is a backdoor in it.

That alone should disqualify it from any consideration in 2025. Full stop.

Discussion - Potential piefed instance in the future?


Hello m@teys,

I've been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we've been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn't a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we'll actually vote on this.

Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.

Have a good week!
