Just like the no kings protests and the people standing up to ICE raids, it’s about using the power you have to say no. He’s a senator and he has the power to waste their time and make them sit in a place they don’t want to be. It’s not much, it’s probably not enough, but not doing anything is worse.

The last name trump on the ticket will trick a significant number of people into thinking they got their 3rd term wish.

The ai company that sort of pivoted to search but doesn’t offer any tiers without ai?

Thank you for giving me the name for this. I had no idea someone had properly defined it.

Probably all day. His job isn’t that hard and he clearly has the personality type for ai psychosis. I’m sure he’s having long nonsensical conversations about his grand ideas while the chatbot eggs him on.

Yeah there was some dude on npr the other day talking about how he finally “left maga” and he regrets stuff now. But like you were a full adult and loving this shit. I’m sure he’s fed up with trump specifically but I also think he’ll get right on board with the next big bully asshole because that’s actually who he is.

They’re literally working with a manufacturer to make non-google phones. Tethered to google is a wild mischaracterization.

Unless one of them is doing it in some way that bypasses the built-in lemmy instance block it looks like a you problem, they appear in each others’ linked instances lists.

Voting is generally accepted as “good” but zero practical allowances are actually afforded for it. You still have to get to work on time, kids are still going to school, all the normal things that overworked wage slaves deal with every day but now there’s one extra thing that involves waiting in line for an hour they don’t have. The OP is right, the deck is stacked against people actually participating and it’s not all their fault.

I didn’t mean that in a negative way. All I meant was that using a non-chromium browser to help move the needle is a privacy tradeoff. I keep both vandium and ironfox installed and use them at different times for different things.

Vandium is all about not standing out from the crowd. You use it to not make a statement and hide your activity within the majority of useragents. If you want to make a statement that’s great, but you should only do it when you’re ok being fingerprinted.

As usual this applies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge’s_law_of_headlines

It reframes a thing as your fault if you miss the opt-out window. They are blame free and you failed to protect yourself.

They don’t appear to be sponsoring that one

It’s a reference to a meme about how male authors often describe female characters. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/breasted-boobily

Wow didn’t expect a reply 2 months later. I’ll give the new version a try. Thanks!

Yep it’s horoscopes for techbros. Come into it with unreasonable expectations and read whatever meaning you want out of it. Infinite validation machine.

They want you to know that you will be split unless you pay extra. It’s a marketing threat.

Mutual funds and ETFs are both types of investments that represent a group of individual stocks and are generally managed in some way, either by a person or by a fixed algorithm. Mutual funds have some tax implications that can by annoying for people so ETFs tend to be preferred for taxable accounts (in the US at least).

Yeah I think that’s where the distinction between rich and wealthy comes in. You still have to work for a living and are closer to homelessness than renting out Venice for a wedding (for instance).
