It’s more like only the true red families and their white gloves are allowed to be too rich.
i tried very hard to find a plugin that was deploying a Trojan but couldn’t find any. It looks to be a POC report. The title is so misleading and terrifying
When you wonder how much damage one person can do in 4 years...
nice! Here is trump speak

Input: i like burgers

Output: I love burgers, I really do. They’re fantastic, maybe the best food ever created, believe me. Nobody likes a great burger more than I do, it’s true.

The MCP approach is brilliant! I've been solving the same friction problem from a different angle. I mostly use Anki to improve my vocabulary, and ended up building a tiny browser-side tool for myself (now called Wordwise / Anki Dictionary) that lets me double click any word on a webpage, get a clean definition + the sentence it appears in, and export it straight into Anki with one click.

It’s been a surprisingly good middle ground between fully manual cards and fully LLM dumps. If anyone’s curious: https://wordwise.me

Hmm Goldman has been trimming 5% or so every year, and looks they have been doing fine so far.

I feel only MAGA are happy & comfortable staying on X, voting for trump != maga

hence the question

Re:Twitter blocks links to Signal messenger on Monday February 17, 2025 @06:41PM (#43084342)
I guess those smart, insightful people are staying on X because

- their targeting audience are on X

- they are rich and do not really care what the platform owner does

- they will be very happy to join the owner when offered such opportunities

For people who are the target audience of those people, I guess

- they voted for this, and they are happily watching the federal gov falling apart

- they convinced themselves that X is the place to grow / learn from smart and insightful people (I don't think one has to be on it for more than 10 min a day to grow & learn, unless one is a crypto trader)

- they convinced themselves that it is really nothing political about using X

Do people in the US still use X? If yes, why? What keeps you on the platform (so the owner is a tiny step closer to destroying your own country)?

A phone is usually less than 200g, a CRT monitor can easily be >10kg, so at least 50 times worse

Question: do you think you will be arrested for doing the same thing if it was in your country? (A from myself: yes absolutely)
