Comment 90% of the media is billionaire owned (Score 1) 69

I guess that's technically dropped a little because some of it is trillionaire-owned now but you get the point...

Democrats are held to a higher standard because the news media will do something called sane washing. That is the practice of taking batshit crazy shit that the right wing does and ignoring it or coming up with apologetics for it. We saw it like crazy with trump. Naturally they do not do this for the Democrats.

But I do wish we would keep China more at arm's length because they are a fascist dictatorship. The same goes for Saudi Arabia and basically all of the Middle East.

I mean we're not going to do that but it would be nice if we would call them out on their bullshit and try to move them towards democracy. On the other hand is an American I'm watching my country turn into a fascist hellscape so there we go...

Oh goody the Trump fucks kids bot is out, letting us all know that Trump fucks kids. Because if it's one thing AI chatbots are aware of it's Trump's commitment to pedophilia. And the commitment of every single Trump bot to make sure that Trump can continue to fuck kids. Trump Fox kids

That's the problem you have. The Republican party has a massive voter suppression apparatus. Not just all that nonsense Trump is spewing that's the tip of a rotten spear. There is a huge number of volunteers that spend hours and hours of their lives illegally challenging voter registrations and signatures. The Republican party has taken over most of the county level voter administration positions like county recorders and whatnot. In places where they can't control the elections at the state level they focus on the county level and where they can do both they do.

The Democrats cannot afford to lose another election. And we can't afford for them to lose another election. Every election since 2016 has been the most important election in your life and that's going to be how it is until the fascists are beaten back. They never go away but you can beat them back.

If on the other hand we don't beat them back then there's no coming back from it anymore. There's no allied powers that are going to ride in and save us from our Nazis. Once the fascists are in control of America and us that's it, it's game over. You will live and you will die in a fascist dystopian hellscape just like the people of Russia do. And you will be sent off to die in their wars just like the people of Russia

And that would be wrongful termination by Open AI. And it could potentially violate a legal order. And it could be spoliation of evidence. So potentially multi ways to amplify one's legal liability. So no, nobody is going to get fired for following the legal notice.

Generally, the best thing to do is bring those notices to your employer's legal team. And let them deal with it. Get the company to own all decisions and avoid taking on the company's liability as your own.

To me what this is is that every single person in the Trump administration no matter how minor role they play is completely and irredeemably corrupt.

We can debate why but the evidence is as plain as they. Anyone who isn't corrupt wants nothing to do with this administration. It's all smash and grab

That would be true for a totalitarian government, where if you give up your rights it belongs to the government, and citizens are little more than government property.

A democratically elected government that is answerable to its people on the other hand. You don't give it rights, you give it permission, because such a government needs the consent of the people in order to function or even exist.

It's one of the reasons I would never want to be a youtuber. You have constant griefers, grifters and trolls trying to either hack your account and stealit or doing constant illegal and fraudulent copyright claims to get your channel taken down. YouTubers have to walk on eggshells so much that there is an entire lexiconography of words like unalive to avoid getting picked up by algorithms. Not to mention the length you have to go to to avoid copyright strikes.

Comment I noticed the Republicans disappeared (Score 4, Interesting) 169

Every single Republican seems to have retreated into a safe space where their ideas can't be challenged. I suspect things are so obvious at this point that you can't remain Republican and exit your safe spaces.

I get the occasional bot here and if my comment gets modded up they will show up and call me Chinese but those are obvious nonsense AI slop.

The numbnuts yelling TDS at me and going on about Hunter Biden have all disappeared. I don't even see the over on Reddit anymore even on the single remaining conservative forum. I'm assuming they're all over on Twitter with the other Nazis getting more radicalized.

Honestly when I think of it that way it's probably not a good thing but what can you do

Of survivorship bias.

With the exception of some billionaires nobody's lives have gotten better because of trump. But because of survivorship bias or the idea that the shit doesn't hit the fan for everybody all at once some people have had their lives either stay the same or improve.

Among those people you've got two groups. You have a low information voters who barely know who the president is. And you have the frothing right wing nut jobs who just really really want somebody to have it worse than them.

The best explanation I've heard is, they don't care if their kid is hungry as long as somebody else's kid is hungrier.

You're not important enough to take away other people's right to vote.

I don't think you're comment is a bot. You seem real.

Once they take away my vote your vote no longer matters because they don't need you to vote for them to win because I'm not able to vote against them.

That's kind of how this mess works. People you disagree with lose the right to vote. That means your side no longer needs elections to win. That means the people in charge of you get to tell you what to do and there's nobody around the stop them. You become their slave. And they take all your property too.

I mean not you of course. You're super cool and super important. Your company couldn't live without you and women throw themselves at you.

From what I can tell color OS has bloatware but it can all just be uninstalled. The major complaint with color OS is that it has a different icon set that's meant to look like ios. Also by default color OS is missing all the Google apps but that's a Chinese thing. They can be installed they just aren't there by default like they are for oxygen OS.

There are probably some oxygen OS specific features I'm not thinking of that are going to be missing from color OS because I've turned them off in order to get my 13r closer to stock Android.
