The US has been the main villain ever since they inherited the role from the British. None of this is surprising if you’ve been paying attention.

Umm excuse me, “corruption” is offensive, the correct term is “lobbying”.

It’s “a democracy” in that the rich old white dude at the top gets swapped out every few years.

But any analysis of government policy vs what regular people want shows exactly no correlation. This isn’t even new. Sure it’s gotten even more egregious lately, but it has always been an oligarchy or plutocracy at best.

Lol, the US isn’t democratic.

The boomers sure did go downhill. From protesting the Vietnam war, to believing slop on facebook…

I was listening to a podcast about dead internet theory the other day, and they talked about some studies that were finding the the internet in general is near 50% bot activity now. I’m sure twitter is much worse than the average.

There’s also Lineage OS. I don’t know how good it is, but it supports tons of devices.

Honestly surprised to learn that they were still supporting 7-8.1 until now.

No it’s more complex than that. In the final session, participants were swapped between the LLM and Brain groups, and the effects persisted to some extent.

So it’s worse than “using an LLM doesn’t engage your brain”, it’s more like “using an LLM actually makes you dumber.”

I mean that would be a little bit more plausible, although the article claims the opposite—that the device is super mysterious and the Americans don’t even know how to use it.

It sounds like someone pulled off a sweet scam though, getting “eight figures” for what sounds like a backpack full of cobbled together radio hardware.

This isn’t even tinfoil hat level, it’s literally something they’ve done before (with crack).

No one has blown the whistle on it yet, but I will be 0% surprised if they do.

Havana syndrome is a joke.

The Steam Deck’s AMD Custom GPU 0405 also saw a sharp dip in this revision going from 21.41% now to 13.37%.

I would have thought the Linux share would be mostly made up of steam decks, but seems that’s not the case!

The people have to do it.

Ha! Good one 🤣

So when the US “neutralized a Venezuelan tanker”, that wasn’t an escalation, but now when Maduro takes measures to prevent this happening again, now it’s a “significant escalation”??

Your computer won’t even be a computer, just a display with an Internet connection to a data centre.

Yea, probably… That, or they’ll blockade the St Lawrence and starve them out.

Perhaps the island of Montreal could hold out as a revolutionary enclave against the facist theocracy.

Have they even presented any evidence whatsoever that there were drugs on these boats?

The media keeps saying “suspected drug boats”, which makes it sound like they actually kind of care who they’re murdering, but I’m not convinced that’s the case. Maybe “imagined drug boats” would be more apt.

The attack began with an airburst munition exploding above the vessel and killing nine crew members. The two men who survived were then visible floating in the water.

So, there were eleven people on this small boat. Why the fuck would you have 11 people on a smuggling boat? No, this is just a random terrorist attack, perpetrated by the notorious terrorist organization know as “the US military”.
