and yet it's likely to be less secure than all the others.

or does your xterm binary scans your contract list and recently opened apps and upload all that to Facebook servers? because most apps on your so secure phone do exactly that

people will say dhh is being cancelled etc. but he always had very bad political takes.

now, he is fully in musk orbit, so i expect him to be even more polarizing when speaking publicly.

and ultimately, musk gave him a couple millions to sell grok (starting with full integration into his arch install script he calls a distro).

so, if you follow the money, it is pretty clear he is "just doing his (grok salesman) job"

"claude, make better use of eletricity costs. stop services not required for the task. make no mistakes"
every single comment on that entire channel is from bots posting both/or trump support/racism.

would the usa be so fool as to surrender it's bombs like Ukraine did before the invasion?
except you feel for the misdirection.

unbanking is a very widespread issue that affect actual minorities all over the country. this text ignores that, then play the victim saying unbanking is affecting rich white people who want to obviously avoid taxes and launder money via illegal tokens, but are being denied because they are trump supporters. that's most definitely not unbanking, that's the system working as intended and the "because" part is obviously false. but now everything is upsidedown.

this is not about the kkk having bank accounts (they already do!). this will be another technicalities to be abused on the coming cryptocurrency fleece to end all cryptocurrency fleeces.

"grok will do brand safety" ... translation: they will remove any way for advertisers to validate where their ads were shown ;)
thats like one bus route number of passangers.

and most of those were doing the literal loop just for the novelty.

any piece that mentions his companies, but skip paypal, are very obvious paid puff pieces. so lame.

this video highlights our AI cargo cult.

we put a great player, employed as a retired ex-star, narrating a game played by two things that can barely grasp the rules. so sad.

remember when Verizon got 5bi of our taxes for broadband expansion and did nothing, twice?

This change will make sure starlink gets the money this time.

you deserve neither freedom or security! according to our founding fathers.
