"You have one week to remove your cameras or we send them to the landfill" is all that really needed to be said.

They want a poor and desperate workforce that they can more easily exploit.

For tech stocks, every July for like the last 10 years has been down. Aug and Sept always correct.

Seriously, if you are still using Meta sites at this point, you gave no one to blame but your self. Their terrible treatment of employees and users isn't exactly a secret.

Leave Facebook and move grandma to something else as well.

Your argument assumes the Trump admin wants to actually help the citizens it is supposed to represent. They do not care about most citizens, their words and actions have proven this over and over again.

This admin absolutely will never take any steps towards transparency, education, sharing, or even simple kindness. Any hope of implementing something like this will have to come later.

Very well said. i wish I could give you 1000 upvotes, or better yet a real vote.

Church groups, or at least an awful lot of them, were co-opted by groups like the Council For National Policy (parent group of the Heritage Foundation). I think a lot of younger folks see through the BS and don't want to send their time listening to hate speech discussed as gospel.

These churches chose thier path, and so did their parishioners.

Hats off the the flux team. Great software and almost always a good signal of a good place to work.

Another day, another win for fascism.

I'm not sure it really matters if the senate still exists. the money men will just move the bribes to the senators. winning a senate seat would mean you are a millionaire at minimum.

Who needs freedom of speech anyway? I'm just glad the trump admin is looking out for by best interests. /s

Better search could solve this I think. If packages could be automatically, semantically grouped and made searchable, then there would be a lot less packages. a lot of times is simply faster to remake that to search for something appropriate. I don't think RAG is the right answer, it needs to be more capable than that. i don't know quite what that would look like.

I would love to be able to filter out low effort, bad docs, no tests, no recent contributions and and more after typing a semantic query for a library to use.

You are right. So many parts of are system were designed for minority rule and haven't been changed in 250 years. The senate, fptp voting, no voting holidays, the electoral college and more. the wealthyvhave always and will always try to by pass democracy.

make no mistake, the people behind this play the long game. the council for national policy has been working hard towards these goals since the 60s. the people who want to rule, do not want to deal with democracy. they do not want to ask permission.

Cloudflare makes it really hard to spend money. I constantly have to talk to someone in sales to enable some feature after rounds of negotiating on price. I think they would have way more customers, spending much more money, if they just offered transparent pricing, and fully on-demand services.

The elected reps are captured by business interests. Citizens united means the best marketing team wins every election. The reps do not work for citizens, why would they? Voting has been nullified, democracy is dead.

You may want to review the 14 points of fascism.

Yep, you can see it in the way ICE operates. 10 agents jump out of several cars, they grab one helpless person and they all drive away. Like a pack of hyenas picking off a young calf.

That's alot less risky in France where the police have more than an 8th grade education, no guns, and aren't jacked up on right-wing hate propaganda 24/7. You punch a cop in the US and there's more than a 50% chance, that a given cop has been dreaming of "protecting himself" by any means necessary. In other words, you are going to get shot in the chest.

I dont think open weight models are going to be a big disrupter. At even a small scale you need a machine with 8 gpus just to run the larger models that still arent that close to SOTA. A machine like that is half a million per year. You might need a second machine for your dev environment or do fine tuning. Then you will need to hire an AI engineer who know who to tune the model. You'll probably need k8s and Dynamo expert to run infra to do the inference.

It all gets very expensive, very quickly. Sure some customers will pay this, but many, many more are just going to pay per token. It's the same model that made the hyper-scalers like AWS into giant cash cows. Only this time, tokens can be sold to both enterprises and grandma. Grandma never bought AWS, which means the market for convenient tokens is huge.

there is a reason MSFT is down and not recovering. No matter the product, no one ever has anythi g good to say about microsoft. How can they be sooo bad at litterally everything and stay in business?

Check out the gemini:// protocal. There are browsers, search engines, and the whole thing is basically markdown.

its a cool idea, but lacks content. Discoverability is kinda bad as well. All fixable problems. I think it could take off given some good content.

Dont use the word 'elite' when describing people like this, it implies they are the best at something, which in my experience has never been the case, unless you count bullshitting and gaslighting.

im pretty sure thats the end goal. look how effective all the epstien blackmail has been. Every spy agency and tech bro are probably hatching plans to get into the blackmail business. You can control the most powerful contry in the world and you wont need a single bullet or boots on the ground. Its been outrageously successful for whoever the true puppet masters are.

The tumor continues to grow, everyone knows its getting worse daily. Still no one dare speak of the cure.

%s/left/trump/g and it still works.

Looks luke a cheap electric knockoff in some low budget racing game. It does not look like a ferrari at all.

Well it is the family business after all.

Anyone who uses this line is a racist.

Have you tried being white? The trump admin is rolling out the red carpet for white south Africans.

I'm being facetious of course. I hate what maga is doing to our wonderful melting pot.
