There is a poetic beauty that the First Amendment--which was deeply important to the foundation of the United States as many of the founders were writers--must be thoroughly shredded as the American Empire collapses.

The truth here is that the US has completely abandoned its professed values. It is just violence and unaccountable power, nothing more.

By annihilating the First Amendment, it seeks to hide its own failures. But its failures are known

@magitweeter oops my bad, I was actually referring to an article I read in tandem with this, and posted the wrong one.

This is the one I meant, the Immigration and Naturalization Act (Red Scare era legislation) enables the federal government to remove people from the country because of their opinions, and it's being used to target students, especially those who oppose genocide

Tranquillement, Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) a développé des chatbots pédophiles, et s’en défend


Entrer une description pour l'image ici

Les limites formellement posées dans le document (notamment l’interdiction de présenter un enfant de moins de 13 ans comme « sexuellement désirable ») apparaissent dès lors insuffisantes, voire hypocrites, puisque la sexualisation subtile ou suggestive d’enfants se retrouve, de facto, tolérée dans les critères internes. Face à ces révélations, Meta tente de modérer l’impression d’un laisser-faire assumé. À Reuters, Andy Stone, porte-parole du groupe, assure :

Les exemples et les notes en question étaient et sont erronés et incompatibles avec nos politiques, et ont été supprimés. Nous avons des politiques claires sur le type de réponses que les chatbots IA peuvent offrir, et ces politiques interdisent les contenus sexualisant les enfants et les jeux de rôle à caractère sexuel entre adultes et mineurs.

#AI Is a #MassDelusion Event

Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

"Who thought this was a good idea?"

By Charlie Warzel, August 18, 2025

Excerpt: "The interview triggered a feeling that has become exceedingly familiar over the past three years. It is the sinking feeling of a societal race toward a future that feels bloodless, hastily conceived, and shruggingly accepted. Are we really doing this? Who thought this was a good idea? In this sense, the Acosta interview is just a product of what feels like a collective delusion. This strange brew of shock, confusion, and ambivalence, I’ve realized, is the defining emotion of the generative-AI era. Three years into the hype, it seems that one of AI’s enduring cultural impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it."

_Enoch AI: The Free, Uncensored Alternative to Big Tech's Censored Models—Now More Powerful Than Ever_

FTA: In a revolutionary announcement, Mike Adams of Brighton AI revealed that Enoch—their independently trained AI language model—has undergone a major upgrade, drastically enhancing its ability to generate high-quality, reality-based content. Unlike corporate AI models like ChatGPT, Grok, or Google’s Gemini—which systematically suppress truths on vaccines, election fraud, natural medicine, and Deep State corruption—Enoch operates entirely without censorship, aligning with independent media values and delivering factual, uncensored information.

Now available for free public use at Brighteon.AI, Enoch represents a decentralized revolution in knowledge dissemination, funded entirely by voluntary support from Health Ranger Store customers—not Big Pharma, government grants, or shady billionaire investors.

Lorsque j’ai vu cette affaire inouïe, j’ai immédiatement informé les citoyens français, dans le détail. La regrettée députée européenne Michel Rivasi et sept de ses collègues avaient de leur côté adressé une lettre ouverte à la Commissaire européenne à la transparence, Vera Jourova, pour lui demander, ainsi qu’aux trois membres du comité d’éthique de la Commission, de se pencher sur le dossier et de statuer s'il était éthique que la société privée du mari de la présidente de la Commission européenne (Heiko VDL est directeur médical d'Orgenensis Int. et directeur général d' #Orgenesis Italie) fût impliquée dans des projets financés ou cofinancés par les programmes européens.
La Commission européenne avait alors estimé que les activités commerciales de Heiko #vonderLeyen dans l'industrie pharmaceutique n’étaient pas incompatibles avec le rôle institutionnel de sa femme, Ursula von der Leyen, présidente de la Commission européenne et ne présentait pas de cas de conflits d'intérêts !
Voilà voilà.

Coup de théâtre : la société du mari de Von der Leyen qui a reçu 320 millions de l’UE était inactive.
Scandale ! Ursula von der Leyen a-t-elle détourné 320 millions d'euros de l'UE pour enrichir son mari avec une société FANTÔME ?!
Payée pour rien : arnaque totale !

My future NetBSD server finally arrived :drgn_happy_blep: MWA-HA-HA :drgn_scream: !

Basically, it is just a part of POS terminal, so I can say that I run my services on the cash register.

But inside of it there is a fanless PC with a little motherboard and the top board with a 6 RS232 connectors, two USB connectors and a SATA for 2.5' hard drive.

4 Gb memory, Intel Atom N2800, 64 Gb SSD and free space for (another SSD?) WiFi card, integrated TWO (!) 1 Gbit Ethernet and much more USB, RS232 and VGA + HDMI connectors.

It works completely quiet, and just a slightly warming up when Window 7 is working.

After I change the CR2032 battery and find a M3x17 brass stand for PCB (one is missing :drgn_flat_sob: ) — I'll install #NetBSD on it and will enjoy #selfhosting , finally :drgn_aww:

The only democracy in the Near and Middle East and a bastion of liberal freedoms - that's the picture produced by Western media and politicians till today.

Being free to shoot Palestinians whose land is occupied since decades by Israel seems to be the reality of settler colonialists like Yinon Levi, who could leave house arrest after three days although the deliberate killing from July 28 is well documented and witnessed while people who rushed to help the victim Awdah Hathaleen were arrested and in one case deported to Jordan.

What's happening in the occupied West Bank alone is form of colonial repression that could make headlines every day if Western media wouldn't fall for their own propaganda which again serves politicians who go on supporting Israel no matter how high the cost of genocide.

So activists like Hathaleen and even their Jewish and Western allies live in danger to be killed at any time what is Israel's method to frighten activists who do what they do anyhow because this injustice is unbearable.
