Among the first domino to fall leading up the AI bust. Hope my 401K won’t get decimated by this one.

Premier? How outdated. Should have named it "Waymo Supreme" for that extra generational cringe.

What’s up with the fake review?

Yea you get "privacy" in a car kitted with the most advanced 360 degree camera system in the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Waymo PR team unhinged

Government hands Wall Street another bailout to the tune of trillions of dollars. Wall Street executives and hedge funds use funds to enrich themselves as usual. Main Street and tax payer get fisted again. These massive data centers go bust. Get gutted during bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings Public deals with the fallout with no help from government.

Politicians are just foot soldiers/weeds in this game. Pluck one corrupt politician. 2 more grow in its place.

I would like the billionaires to be jailed, their political pawns in government removed from office, Citizens United to be nullified, FEC regulations re-worked from ground up, and codified.

It’s a public release prepped/reviewed by the in house legal counsel.

Don’t read too much into it. Facebook wants to face as little accountability and keep the future class action lawsuit to a minimum.

It’s scary how cf has become this giant tech corporation. If cf has issues, we see a cascading effect across the many services we depend on. With the age of AI slop, it’s only going to get worse.

Gmail doesn’t think author is "stupid." It’s Google’s business model to sell your data as a product to advertisers; or use it to train models.

They could fix that but that means losing market share. Microshit shareholders don’t like that

Very true, it’s a shame apple software and OS has gone to shit lately.

I have been leaning more into framework myself. My current devices are aging out but I am in a place where I am fully separated from apples walled in garden so switching is easy

Skip proprietary Microshit. Go straight to a framework laptop. Load up your favorite distro and never have to worry about poor repairability or non-upgradeable/soldered components

And you lost me at proprietary Microsoft drivers.

No way I am spending any money on this future brick.

If it doesn’t have the repairability of a framework. I’m out.

Billionaires and angel investors in Anthropic are panicking. Need to sell their insider stock before the bubble busts.

I experienced the same trying to watch One Piece on Crunchy Roll.

Many of the episodes on their dubbed versions were just awful or de-synced. It can continue like that for 3-4 episodes then suddenly fix itself.

Then when I watch in Japanese with subtitles, the subtitles can occasionally be missing on some scenes.

On the bright side, you no longer need a "special contact" inside of Facebook to recover your Instagram account.
