And this is the real story. Content creators, news media and everyone else is wilfully adopting Newspeak so they don't get demonatized. I find this trend double-plus-ungood.

But in order for this to make a dent, it will need to be scaled up to remove billions, not hundreds of thousands, of metric tons of carbon per year, Yale associate professor of earth and planetary sciences Matthew Eisaman said...

Teleportation Does Not Avoid Transmission
Quantum teleportation, another application of entanglement, still requires physically distributing entangled particles to the communicating parties. The quantum state of one system is "transferred," but the particles themselves must have been shared beforehand.

What happens during a bank collapse? Such as Synapse that wasn't FDIC insured? What about runs on the bank? Have you ever tried to withdraw more than $1,000 at a time with no advanced notice? Crime isn't the only reason to carry cash. Having access to it when banks are closed or not willing to give you access to your money is. Buying legal products that your bank or credit card company bans transactions on due to woke political agendas is another.

vulnerable to corrupted article links?

This includes YouTube music, the paid music streaming service with royalties.

You're completely right. But isn't that what social media users are doing on their own anyway? The might read an article summary, a bunch of tweets and retweets of rumors and uninformed opinions, but rarely research the original topic. Then they're misinformed on nearly everything. It sounds like this bot is just trying to make that existing process more efficient.

It's only applies to Insider builds and has already been removed.

I agree you wouldn't recognize a threat free speech. It's a sad day when a Chinese app is the best option for unrestricted speech in the USA. Unlike domestic options from Alphabet/Google, Meta/Facebook, Twitter/X, and others that all cave to pressure from US government and US political parties; international options such as Tiktok may suffer from their own surveillance and propaganda concerns, but those may be far less relevant to the average citizen than the equivalent domestic surveillance and propaganda. All mainstream United States news, television, celebrities, government, and social media will collude on politically popular and convenient messaging. While raw live streams on tiktok will directly contradict the officially approved and politically convenient message. Tiktok may be less invested in favorite political ideologies and therefore be a convenient target if it makes you uncomfortable.

Likely the worst offenders of antiprivacy tracking are parent companies of Google and facebook. Even if you do not directly utilize the services of either, they control the ad networks and links of every website you visit and still have profiles on you. They still know which Android and Gmail contact lists you are in, which photos are posted of you, which searches you perform and which websites you visit. They see half of every email exchange and can map your social networks without your assistance. Random no name data Brokers may be copying duplicate limited data about you but that pales in comparison to what Google and Facebook own.

Some 150 birds named for people tied to slavery and white supremacy could eventually get new monikers as part of an ongoing reckoning with racism within the world of birding. The Verge:

That includes Jameson's firefinch, named for a British naturalist who bought a young girl while in Africa "as a joke" and then drew pictures of her being brutally killed. In a new story this week, Washington Post reporter Darryl Fears breaks down the horrific history of ornithology that has managed to be scrubbed clean in many history books.

Fears also writes about the names these birds already had, given to them by Indigenous peoples who understood the animals long before white settlers supposedly "discovered" the creatures. There's a push now to return to some of those names or use new ones in local languages, which continue to be mocked by a cadre of birding elite that is still largely white. Just last year the American Ornithological Society apologized for "inappropriate comments" its members made nearly 10 years ago about a proposal to rename the Maui parrotbill to the Hawaiian name Kiwikiu.

I assume this is of interest because:

• it's about chess
• it involves a novel use of wireless technology
• other chess cheating scandals were also reported on
• the behavior of the champion was shocking
• the response from the organization was notable

Windows 11 makes sign-in with a Microsoft account mandatory IF you give the system network access during setup. If you disable network access, it will time out and then allow you to create a local account. But as long as network access is avaliable, it will not present this option.
