Some friends of mine recently moved to Europe from the US. They are happy with the decision, but it was a huge strain on their family to make the move.
They had to secure jobs, a place to live, and figure out what to do with their pets. On top of that they have to learn a new language, get their kids enrolled in school, and continue to live their lives. It’s possible but daunting, and most people can’t do it because of family.
I get on my VPN to provide less data to Google. Routing my traffic through an advertising company always felt like a bad idea to me.
They asked to be taken out, what more do you need to go on?
If we had a functioning government in the US, this could be less of a problem. I wonder how we get one of those?
Wu-tang is for the children.
I leave mine stock yellow, but it is kind of a cool thing when you see a bunch of different color emojis liking a post. Feels nice and diverse lol.
I’m sorry, was that expensive piece?
Term limits please!
Stealing advanced chat bots, that’s a great way to describe it.
I wish Biden would say something to the effect of "I’m the president of the United States, I don’t entertain ‘demands’ from candidates '.
About every other post I make proudly wears the (edited) badge. I feel you.
They do, and it works because it is poking fun of the corporate hellscape we live in, which is whimsical. If they become real ads it will make the games less fun to play.
VR makes it even creepier with eye and head tracking. Not only will they present tailored ads, they will know which ones draw your gaze.
Oh hail no.
#1. The CCCP is Soviet Russia. #2. The requirement is that Bytedance sells tiktok (along with it’s proprietary algorithms) to a US based company.
I would much rather pay for windows than become the product with ads, AI, and analytics.
Luckily this is coming at a time where I can run nearly everything on Linux that I previously needed Windows for (with the exception of a handful of games in my steam library)
Cornell West and Jill Stein are proponents of helping the Palestinians, so I imagine one of them.
All the other, mainstream, candidates are vocally pro-Israel. Trump and RFK are more pro-Israel than Biden.
My ultimate hope is that Biden grows a spine on this topic, and draws some rules of engagement for Israel if they wish to receive further aid; however, they seem to have the US govt by the balls somehow.
That’s not the only new kid on the block. AI and blockchain eat tons of electricity.

It reads like it was written by a highschooler or AI.
