Start a stupid war, then try to exploit allies.

Masterful gambit.

Wait a bit and the US government will try to say *nix is a communist woke OS and try to kill it...

It's a marketing race, to show off what they can do. So they seem to let these things happen.

At this point I am not even sure Hanlon's Razor applies.

"The task asked for information about a specific person who had published a blog post and the agent was provided with a set of biographical details and clues from the person’s public blog post."

Who initiated the task? An OpenAI researcher or a user?

Short comment: "Hey, look at us! We had our 'event' too. Don't keep us out of the club"

From the BBC article "It is understood the individual worked at the US embassy in Vauxhall, south west London, and though not a diplomat, he enjoyed the umbrella of diplomatic protection."

The grifter not paying?

What a surprise.

Right. Freedom of expression when MAGA, but not for others.

Who is the snowflake now?

Of course the fascists in power have a problem with real freedom.

So much winning. So much peace. This president should get another FIFA Piss Prize.

Probably because the grift never stops.

Well, a radar-like display, then. But not a radar.

The grift. It never stops.

I wonder how many bugs will be introduced with these fixes...

The corruption is everywhere, small and large. You can't trust the game is not fixed now and you can't trust the government either.

This is the New Zealand model. Multiple ISPs but only a few fibre providers - the largest one is Chorus, with a few that are very localised, but follow the same rules.

The ONT is accessible to all ISPs, and you can provision both available ports with different ISPs if wanted. Usually, a change from one ISP to another happens within the day, like number portability.

I run a forum site. It's been going on for 23 years now, and over that time, it has reflected the country's technology adoption history.

We still have new signups every day and a community that helps others when needed - not only online but in real life too.

The structured discussions and the focus on topics make this type of site a lot easier for some people when compared to platforms like Discord.

Sounds cool. Couldn't see it though. "Rate limited" on my first visit. Using a static IPv4 and IPv6.

Unless your host is limiting number of requests, indiscriminately.

Meanwhile, the Epstein files continue to be ignored.

So much winning.

So you get a file. Any file. Not necessarily the file you want, unless you already know its contents and how to traverse the folder hierarchy to get to that specific point.

So in theory you could have War and Peace somewhere.

Each folder represents the file content so far. So how to find a specific file without knowing its contents - by its title for example?

Well, rather him and family go to Argentina, than come to New Zealand, where he's got his citizenship for doing... nothing.

I joined AdSense in 2003. At peak it was generating US$15k a month.

Nowadays it will be a miracle if it passes of US$800 a month.

I think the shift to a more localised audience (NZ), diversion of ad spend to large social networks are responsible. Our traffic is similar in volume but nowhere near as "valuable" apparently.

Another annoying thing: very few apps are copied from old device to new devices and bring their settings and most importantly login. Of about 80 apps on my device, only five or so are ready to use after a migration.

Going through dozens of apps, doing logins, 2FAcand changing settings is a PITA.

Devs do a poor job on that front.

Another thing that annoys me on Android is the setup experience itself. All my recent device presentcthe same behaviour: login with a Google account, transfer data, setup voice assistant and some other defaults,done.

Then after the first app updates is done, a notification comes with "let's finish setting up your phone" and again asks to setup voice assistant, check defaults and whatever else is in the flow.

Has no one noticed that the setup flow seems to run twice?

And it's not one specific device. I do it with eight to ten devices a year, from different OEM, writing reviews and testing. They all have the same behaviour.

Subscribers can share the link as a gift, so readers can see the original, not the proxied version.

Their consitution says elections can't be hold in times of war.

"...user activity on the site will not be tracked."

Ok, stopped reading right there.
