To say you have a claim to my property is to say you have a claim to the labor I performed to obtain it. To say you have a claim to my labor is to say that I am your slave.
A society that elevates the 'common good' above the rights of the individual makes individuals slaves to the collective.

Trump reposted this image. Expand the picture and look at what is on his forward collar wing. Whether Q is designed to be a psyop for us, or against us to keep us passive, Trump has grabbed it and taken ownership of it and is wielding it as a sword for our liberation. Trump seizes the devices of the enemy and wields those devices against them. So it doesn't matter whether whether Q is a military op or enemy psyop, all available weapons will be turned against the enemies of humanity.
In the following article, I would like to trace out the roots of the eco-religion of the New World Order, and the emergence of a hoped for alliance of sovereign nation states which may finally liberate humanity from this structure of evil.
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – At least 27 people died in recent severe weather across the US Midwest and South, with experts blaming staffing cuts at the National Weather Service under the Trump administration for hampering timely warnings.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

FBI Director Kash Patel just revealed that a 'trove of information' an the FBI's role in the events of January 6th is already on its way to Capitol Hill to be released.…
Will there be accountability, finally...or, more stalling and distractions? Will it be another disappointment, as the Epstein Declassification has been, to this point...or, Will we finally see Arrests and Perp Walks?
Well, I guess we'll know in a few more weeks, one way or the other...
Please let it be so.
"On Sunday Kash Patel announced the bureau has uncovered a trove of hidden Russiagate documents. He said the documents will be released soon.
“I was the lead Russiagate investigator for the House Intelligence Committee…I’m telling you and the American public that we have found material and information and people who wanted to hide it from the world since we got in these seats,” Kash Patel said on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Kash Patel and Dan Bongino ripped into former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for “lying to federal courts,” hiding evidence and weaponizing the FBI against political opponents.
“As much as we know about Crossfire Hurricane, he and I just found out more last week,” Kash Patel said. “We’re about to see a wave of transparency. Just give us about a week or two.”
Director Patel said Comey, McCabe, Peter Strzok and others committed multiple crimes including intentionally lying to a federal court, rigging a presidential election, using taxpayer dollars likely illegally to fund their operation and hiding documents from Congress."
FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino joined Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday to discuss their efforts to clean up the bureau after decades of corruption and politicization.
I wrote about that previously - but as I pointed out several times, I do not trust Proton. They were always a honey pot. It will be a problem for Neomailbox...

I already have something positive to say about so-called "AI", actually LLMs. Specifically the ones that are either "made" to be good at generating code or do it almost incidentally.
I have spent some time having a variety of these models generate code. Mainly around some sort of "trick question" type request. One where they are most likely to make one or two optimization mistakes.
They do make these mistakes more often than not, but in the real world it would probably never make any difference considering the processing power available even on a toaster, and that most modern systems will be waiting for calls to the disk, network, cloud ,or db.
The point is; here is my positive take:
Every bit of AI generated code i have seen from the models that are rated "good" at it is better than any pajeet code i have ever seen in my entire career. Off-shore and H1B.
Grok is really good at refining code after generating code that is "askew" of what you originally wanted you can keep going and focus the code gen to a real solution.
Haven't ever paid for any AI service [I had free ChatGPT for a time] but what surprises me is the result you can get w/out paying nuttin.
@jazzilla like the "impressive" part to me is as you say. Especially as an experienced programmer, if I add just a couple extra words I can get it to generate what I want without the optimization issues.

So... apologies if this isn't the right place to ask and I...
I am a reddit refugee from the mod wars. I love it here. I originally made an mbin account but then 9 months ago mbin seemed to die so I made a new fedia.io account and things have been going swimmingly so far.
A few days ago I noticed that fedia.io pages have been loading increasingly slowly. All I am wondering is where the best magazine/online place/other forum I can check is to see if there are any issues happening on fedia.io or anything that might be responsible for the slowed performance.
I can't just search "Is fedia.io down" like I would with other online resources. Any help or steer towards more appropriate places for me to ask this question would be much appreciated.
There is !fedia@fedia.io but that place seems inactive. I couldn't find a status page listed in their sidebar. When I was looking around it was very slow so it isn't just a problem with you
I think there's some sort of DDOS attack going around because I've been in the same boat with kbin.earth slowing down. kbin.earth's traffic has nearly doubled in just the past few days and I'm still trying to figure out the source.
I'm working my way through Picks and Shovels (from @pluralistic), and what is engaging me, more than the company drama, is seeing the main character mature into the human we see in the earlier books. Each book takes place earlier than the last.
I had the thought that I'd love to see an even earlier book where Marty Hench solves schoolyard mysteries like an Encyclopedia Brown, although I don't think that'd work; his interests and skills are solidly established after he leaves home.... But it would be fun to have some short stories about a next generation's red-teaming forensic accountant being by-chance-mentored by Hench as they deal with tech issues that pop up in schools in the current age.
