“The press is complicit in crippling American social problem Y”

Well yeah, no shit. The press is owned by the owner class and used to convince Americans that Y is necessary and that the profit firehose never ceases.

I’m betting on a facial recognition hit from the social media firehoses

Yeah, that was my thinking too. Lilac is a generic enough platform that OEMs can do the bulk of their platform work with a lilac dev kit before they have real hardware in hand for the last 10%.

Valve hasn’t even announced their own steam machine yet have they? I’d be betting on ASUS to be first to market with whatever’s in the pipe from OEMs.

Because high quality content needs income to continue existing, and you generally get that income via a subscription or the people making your content run out of money and go get jobs.

Edit: just look at what’s happened to journalism over the last 30y if you’re having a hard time understanding why paying journalists and other writers is important. Very few high quality outlets have survived, and they’re largely on life support if they’ve not been bought up to push some billionaire’s politics.

Lilac is an AMD dev platform, it’s used to do early development before you have the real platform in hand to work with. It’s been spotted in the wild running 7700 HS, 8500 U and Zen3 embedded <55W SoCs - there’s no way to extrapolate new steam hardware performance info from this reliably.

Why take the rest of the planet down with us? Hack into the bioweapons labs and release those.

We kinda left ourselves wide open by sanctioning a surveillance adtech economy and not prosecuting corruption. This is just the logical next stage (leverage surveillance adtech to sway votes and install the corruptible.)

The scientific community would just collapse and we’d be worshipping cats as a world wide religion.

You’re a couple thousand years late on this one

“Conservative” populism is the grift that keeps on giving

Full funding for schools that push “corrected” conservative and religious histories

Let’s have a full spread and each pick our favorite preparation

So it really does beg the question of just what are they doing with that money, or rather how are they lavishly wasting it away.

I mean, if your great great great great great great grandchildren don’t have a fashionable yacht collection are they really even people?

Most of the time Google is still the most useful. If I care about privacy I use duck duck go via TOR.

According to friends You.com and perplexity are pretty good on some topics, and I’ve used chatgpt to summarize and explain things I wanted to learn.

This change makes Google suck a tiny bit less by empowering users to disable some of the surveillance driven adtech in search results.

Is it a meaningful improvement in how Google operates at scale? No, not really. The DOJ is advocating the complete breakup of Google, the divestiture of Android and Chrome as well as reining in Google’s AI training data scraping - turning off personalization more easily doesn’t even register on that scale. If anything this tiny change is part of a campaign to appear to be changing corporate behavior while Google waits for the incoming administration to ignore current DOJ findings.

$50 says this response is due to the antitrust suit from the DOJ

It sure would be a shame if the 99% of New York state saw and heard nothing of interest about this guy.

This 👆 - you stop noticing that you smell when you smell all the time. Setting up tests is just avoiding the real solution which is an uncomfortably honest conversation.

Get him some of that crystal stick deodorant, it actually works until your armpit bacteria adjust to it. Usually you’ll get a year or so use out of it before selection grows exclusively resistant bacteria.

I had a housemate who was into Facebook health influencers at one point, absolutely nothing would reach him when we told him “you stink, you need to keep yourself clean.” We had to punt him, the BO was just one of the problems we had with him.
