It’s a distraction from the fact that their candidate is a felon x34 (at minimum)

Mad love for Qobuz.

Very good movie

Private company in what way? The company is publicly traded - there are rules and regulations that organizations have to abide by. it’s not totally lawless current state … They’re legally beholden to shareholders to maximize value. They can do what they like but probably don’t want them allowing certain folks to have a platform (moderating the platform). Meta uses the grey area to manipulate and addict users, that’s just their business practice to drive value and generate views/engagement with their platform.

Agree this dude is unhinged.

This view is close minded.

Anyways - the way this webpage is laid out is weird and the ai picked up multiple stories, but the stories are all there if you bother to continue scrolling

So much to digest in this article it’s unreal (the comment below is AI generated and picks up everything in this weirdly laid out news site):

• Donald Trump compared his legal troubles to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s imprisonment and death in a Russian penal colony, drawing criticism for minimizing Navalny’s plight.
• Republicans have touted claims by Alexander Smirnov about Biden corruption in Ukraine, but he has now been charged with lying to the FBI and admitted Russian intelligence helped him smear Hunter Biden.
• A transgender teenager named Nex Benedict was beaten at their Oklahoma school and later died, highlighting the dangers transgender students face, especially after Oklahoma’s anti-trans bathroom bill.
• Yulia Navalnaya, wife of slain Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was temporarily banned from Twitter for unclear reasons after posting a video accusing Putin of killing her husband.
• Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, suggested women don’t need abortions and that men should help carry heavy items like strollers instead.
• Christian nationalist figures like Russell Vought seek to infuse their ideology more deeply into a potential second Trump administration.
• E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer hinted they may sue Donald Trump for a third time if he continues denying the rape and defaming her after being ordered to pay $88 million.
• Samuel Alito complained that people who oppose homosexuality are unfairly branded as bigots.
• Donald Trump was reportedly obsessed with punishing Snoop Dogg in his final White House hours over past criticisms.
• Hunter Biden’s lawyers argue the investigation against him included factual errors like mistaking sawdust for cocaine.

Ai summary of the article if you don’t wanna click the link:

A recent poll found that 76% of respondents agreed that Google CEO Sundar Pichai is comparable to Steve Ballmer, who led Microsoft during a period of decline. Both men took over from revolutionary founders as business managers focused on profits rather than innovation. However, under Pichai’s leadership, Google has lost its dominance in areas like search and AI, with competitors like OpenAI making strides. Many argue Google search has become cluttered with irrelevant results, while former employees say visionary leadership is lacking. There is a sense that Pichai’s Google is no longer the innovative company it was and risks losing further ground to emerging technologies if it does not recapture its start-up spirit.

Yes - I didn’t have time to watch the video and wanted a text summary. Thought others might find it useful

Shuji Nakamura was a researcher at Nichia who was determined to create the first blue LED, which had eluded scientists for decades. Through innovative crystal growth techniques and materials discoveries, he succeeded in developing bright blue and white LEDs in the early 1990s. This breakthrough enabled LEDs to be used for full-spectrum lighting. Nichia’s fortunes grew enormously as a result, though Nakamura was not properly compensated for his invention. Today, LEDs powered by Nakamura’s blue LED technology are ubiquitous and have brought enormous energy savings worldwide.

Something interesting I found was that Nakamura persisted in his research for blue LEDs against the wishes of his company management, who saw it as a waste of resources. His stubbornness and belief in his work paid off by solving a problem that had stumped the electronics industry for 30 years.

ChatGPT user Chase Whiteside noticed that his account history contained private conversations that were not his own. These included login credentials and details from a pharmacy employee troubleshooting an application. OpenAI investigated and believes Whiteside’s account was compromised by an external group accessing a pool of identities. This underscores the lack of security features on ChatGPT like two-factor authentication. Previous incidents have shown ChatGPT can also divulge private information if included in its training data. An interesting aspect was the candid language used by the pharmacy employee to express frustration with the poor security of the application they were troubleshooting. This highlighted the risk of including private details in conversations with AI systems.

Haley’s stated view that states can legally secede goes against the established precedent set after the American Civil War, which was fought over the issue of states seceding from the Union.

This article discusses reactions from some Fox News commentators to the possibility of Taylor Swift endorsing President Biden in the 2024 election. Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, and others on Fox News urged Swift not to get involved in politics. Some speculated that Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce was engineered by Democrats. Hannity drew a connection between Swift and George Soros, noting Soros’ son helped fund the sale of Swift’s song catalog. However, not all at Fox News were negative - sports analyst Jay Glazer praised Swift as a “genius” and saw nothing problematic about her or the NFL. In summary, several Fox News personalities strongly discouraged Swift from supporting Biden, while at least one commentator admired her musical talents.

Agree. My gripe with this article is that I’ve seen it posted on ~6+ communities. I love that Linux is beating windows in gaming benchmarks, but I think the title sensationalizes it the out performance a slight bit.

Lol, you might misunderstand my issue with the constant repost. I get it. Reading comprehension is hard!

This has been reposted enough to where I’m going to start blocking accounts that continue to post it 😎

Sweet, now they can charge me $1k for a shot and not use a needle.

Last time I got an ultrasound the hospital charged me $2k. Wanted to confirm nothing was wrong with my kidneys. Turns out I was all good, but now I have an expensive bill to deal with…

Hahaha I was assigned Burlington by this year’s wrapped. Guess I’m moving to the lesbian commune out in Vermont.
