An interesting opinion piece, and I’ve always preferred opensource, only using Windows in the past for gaming and because it came with the computer, but no more after they’ve gone full spyware and AI slop. And Apple’s locked down operating…
I once had a Reddit account, but it’s kind of a toxic platform dominated by liberals, voice anything conservative and you get downvoted into oblivion. So I deleted my account. I do look at it on occasion for tech issues…
(Headline article below) This was way to crafty, and you have to suspect a nation state actor with the purpose to dissuade people from self-custody, something governments have signaled a desire to outlaw or limit as they can’t steal your…
Apple users beware, it’s a bit tougher to turn off the different radios, and you can’t do it at all if using the theft location feature. I always turn off WiFi when leaving the house and have my LineageOS phone…
It was obvious to me what the gambit was in the beginning, as you had to identify yourself to use the platforms. And going forward, more and more of the code is being written by AI without adequate auditing, with…
One, this forces people on Medicaid to see a white coat to qualify for this benefit which isn’t good for your health because of the medical and pharmaceutical grift. Two, it’s kicking the can of unaffordability down the road as…
This is a funny ad, but California is too far gone and no way he gets that leftist legislature to go along with his plans even though good for the state. And too many city councils are captured and running…
Here’s receipts on the bias of Wikipedia, and how that would impact AI not to mention AI hallucinations, just making things up. Years ago when I had a WSJ subscription, it had better reporting but always still promoting propaganda in…
As I understand the bill, you have to apply every year for the 50% property tax discount on your primary property for the first $1 million, so the rich will still pay. And the government is responsible for the lack…
What’s funny is that many women that divorce looking for greener pastures end up regretting it. They live through the lie of feminism with real regret. And frankly, women are pretty freaked out, and in many ways much more hedonistic…
I have a post with a Proton video that includes the companies related to this outfit, so this is an interesting development. And this building of Palmer Luckey’s public profile is also of interest, with Joe Rogan even having him…
Google is is really sealing their death certificate with policies they’re implementing, as opensource app stores survive on donations so making them pay $10k per year is going to starve them of resources. It’s sad that this megacorp is so…
I listened to the interview on audio, and found it pretty compelling, though worth noting I don’t trust FBI agents to even speak with one (you can go to prison for giving a false statement to an FBI agent, or…
They’re really pushing selfies for facial recognition data, and I don’t trust them to not be uploading this to a government server, as big tech is an arm of the state. And of interest, look at how two red states,…
The surveillance state expands. It looks like they’re using these to track border crossing boats that may be smuggling? I know they’re using military drones to surveil the southern border, so I’d imagine they’re using some type of air monitoring…
That hinge mechanism looks pretty gnarly, and so much for quality control and testing. These folding plastic screens were always a dumb idea to me, scratchable at level fingernail with the matte screen layer to hide the scratches… The JerryRigEverything…
