Ah yes, the ol’ Developing World Jobs Program method. This is just corruption in practice. The local entity is a means by “local investment” requirements mean hiring several locals and renting office space, all from people connected to the government. And when the party in power changes, everything moves and shuffles and starts over.
Fun fact: if you go to Clearview’s website to try and opt out, you can only opt out of individual images. So either you collect every possible image of yourself from the internet, or you fail.
I did love the outright contradictions about COVID vaccines. But my cat snores like he breathes when he’s awake. Dude is not well. But we knew that.
I’m in the same exact boat.
At some point when Google kills custom ROMs, everyone working on customs ROMs won’t have anywhere else to go other than a Linux phone.
Oh, he’s banking on society collapsing. That’s what his Praxis network-state-city is about.
If you’re not familiar with Curtis Yarvin, he’s the crazy glue holding it all together. Get deep into that mess, it’s what happens after Project 2025 runs out of ideas.
I bet this guy was selling AI images of a dragon playing the 3-cup-game with another dragon pretending to be in on it to build hype.
You can have them pull a little carriage if you spend about 3 months training them to deal with the sound behind them and harness.
I have family that tried this because they “gOt a gUd dEaL!” on a wagon with car tires (part of their apocalypse prepping stuff) and ended up getting a mule because none of their 3 horses could stand the wagon.
I thought that was only the dragons fucking cars thing.
This is how I feel with just my spouse. Spotify absorbs so much ADD energy and immediate new music whiplash that I can’t help but be OK with it.
The alternative is to be up at 4:00am on Oct 13 ripping T-Swizzle MP3s from YT.
Not saying there’s no benefits, I’m saying that it’s not all benefits. I’ve just seen horses do idiot things and almost kill themselves and spook and be the generally panicky prey animals that they are.
Plus, how the hell am I supposed to tie a free couch I found on the side of the road to the top of a horse and get that home?
Yeah, but that’s just rude to not let them stop. It’s more comfortable for them if the rider leans forward in the saddle (so I was taught growing up)
It’s clear none of you all have dealt with horses IRL.
If you shake a plastic bag at a car, it doesn’t spook and run over 4 kids and then crash into a wall. A car doesn’t randomly decide to eject you into the street. A car doesn’t stop to poop. I love horses, but c’mon.
I would guarantee this thing is overcooked to hell, dry as a paper towel in the center. It probably swam in day-old red sauce in a pot for 90 minutes to prevent lawsuits, then cooled off, cooking another 20 holdover minutes. Then into the fridge to be microwaved when anon orders it.
Same. Never use these things on Android.
That’s about the connection to Car Play, not GPS
When customs ROMs and most FOSS apps are killed next year on Android, we’re all going to find out very quickly how much the trap has closed around us.
Same reason I loved to Linux on desktop, something that used to be cool and open and at least work mostly has enshittified beyond repair. I’m not going to let the bastards get me if I can help it.
I’m here for you, brother. We stand in solidarity.
It’s more prevalent in Latin America right now, but with the ease of being able to clone the voice of someone that posts on social media, virtual kidnappings are a thing that aren’t going away. So the codeword is actually very relevant today.
