i switched mobile carriers and the new one has a voice AI assistant. the voice AI was actually better than the human pajeet i talked to. the jeet was completely bullshitting me and just talking out their ass, had no idea how to configure the access point manually for their mobile service and just basically pretended to do some technical bull crap on their end, put me on hold a few times, then didn't solve my problem
the AI at least got me pointed in the right direction, even though it gave me bad info.
eventually i figured it out from their web docs.

I feel like we have to be able to separate artists' bad behavior from our evaluation of the quality of their work.
Maybe there's a time limit? Maybe they have to be dead so they can't benefit from their work being sold.
Are there any non problematic artists/creators from 500 years ago who we nevertheless find their work product valuable to society today? What about science? Especially medicine with all the body snatching.

I genuinely do not understand people who have deep fried opinions about Signal needing a goddamn phone number in 2025.
Many privacy nerds were outraged when you needed to give out a phone number to other people in order to talk with them. I was one of those nerds. They fixed that with the usernames rollout.
As a mobile phone app, Signal uses your phone number to bootstrap your enrollment into the protocol. This is literally the path of least resistance as an SMS replacement app, for most users.
If you want to know whether Signal can obtain enough metadata to target users that have enrolled, the answer is complicated.
The way profiles are encrypted, and how sealed sender works, makes any targeting seem infeasible. (Your profile key rotates, at mininum, when you block someone.)
Signal currently does not have IP addresses, etc. stored. If this changes in the future, it will not be retroactive. If you're worried about that, Molly boasts Tor support. Maybe that's fine. I haven't audited Molly, and won't.
more concerned about the fact that I have to have a google or apple account even to use it
the Pigeon client from Punkt worked around that, but it's constantly broken in other ways, so
until Signal gets over itself and releases a proper desktop client that doesn't required a linked corporate surveillance device, it might as well not exist

"In general undocumented immigrants don’t take good jobs away from native-born Americans. By and large they take jobs the native-born don’t want or would only take at much higher wages. This means that immigrants are complements, not substitutes, for native workers. They increase, not reduce, native-born wages. And mass deportation, if it really gets going, will be an economic as well as a human catastrophe."

Gerald Ford was not on the '72 ticket, Spiro Agnew was. They got rid of Agnew first, and Ford replaced him. Then they got rid of Nixon, and Ford replaced him. Gerald Ford is the only President of the US to have never been elected.
His birth name was Leslie King. Which means, America's only unelected President was born a King.
And now a nuclear powered aircraft carrier named after him is mobilized to West Asia today.

The acting chair of the federal agency that enforces workers rights acknowledged Wednesday that transgender workers are protected under civil rights laws but defended her decision to drop lawsuits on their behalf, saying her agency is not independent and must comply with President Donald Trump’s orders.
Andrea Lucas, who was first appointed to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2020 and elevated to chair in January, spoke at her confirmation hearing at the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Her nomination to serve another five-year term as an EEOC commissioner requires Senate confirmation, though whether she stays on as chair will be up to Trump.
Republican senators praised her leadership, especially her commitment to rolling back Biden-era regulations and guidance on gender-identity rights, which Lucas has argued overstepped the EEOC’s authority.
