There was probably a blunt in rotation, too. Don't blame all the mind-expansion on the alcohol.

Your toilet paper roll comes with an app now, why does it surprise you that DuckDuckGo has one? Plenty of people can't do anything on their phone unless it has a large icon in the center of the home screen.

Beyond that, it affords the app-pusher much deeper access to your life. They get to shoot off notifications, grab your data, execute more code at a time of their choosing, trade Google/Apple IDs and whatever else with their whole "ecosystem of apps". Just what a privacy-focused search engine needs, right? These are fun on their own, but it's the additional, unintentional security vulnerabilities that make it really interesting...

Where avoiding it isn't possible, ignoring it would be the next best thing. That's the only logical course of action after seeing so many AI results that I know are false.

The idea that I'm going to trust it for something I'm not already knowledgeable about is ridiculous. The idea that I need it for something I am knowledgeable about, is also ridiculous.

For some things it works decently, but it tends to fail in specific scenarios. Lately I've been doing a lot of searches for RAM and SSD specifications, trying to find the specs for a particular unit I'm reselling. DuckDuckGo never has anything useful on the first page, whereas Google typically finds a TechPowerUp page with a full spec sheet.

Interestingly, this is also the exact scenario where AI search faceplants. Technical specifications, or more broadly anything with numbers.

Bin Laden? He never got close to having a nuke, the terrorist you're looking for is Ben Gvir.

At a basic level, these are drugs you consume to change your behavior. The fact that that behavior is eating maybe led physicians to see it as a drug with primarily metabolic effects.

It's starting to sound less like the behavioral effects are incidental to the metabolic effects, and more that they are integral to them.

It makes sense. These companies could really use a shiny nugget of plutonium to parade around to investors. Not just to show they're making progress, but the bauble also shows they have obtained the king's blessing. In this world where the government picks winners and losers, His blessing is a license to print money. At least until the scam collapses.

Of course it makes sense. Giving it to the power industry means we need to make more, and he can award the contract on a bribery basis.

Since about a couple years ago, from what I gather. Soon to be the standard, if they have their way.

I have a Dell laptop from 2020, it's wretched. The cooling solution is entirely underpowered, causing the CPU to thermal throttle. I ended up removing the bottom of the case to get more airflow. After 3 years the keyboard started giving out - the keyboard I barely even used, because I always kept it docked. It never managed to wake up from sleep properly, it was 50/50 whether it would wake up or not.

The whole thing flexes like it's doing the worm when you pick it up. The stiffest thing in there seems to be the motherboard. I hate to think the motherboard is providing structural integrity, but it really seems like it is. Everything is built around and hooks into it.

I can see that you're triggered, but you should direct your offense not at me (the messenger) but at the Pentagon from which this stuff is disseminating. That's where the service members I've spoken to are directing their anger.

I'm not even sure who signed it, but the ones who developed it chose to use the Star Trek logo. So yes, cosplay.

That's because we "same people" have zero trust in Agent Orange as he threatens his country's own allies and invades other countries just for fun, while he simultaneously shits the bed over and over and over and over again.

We do, however, have at least some trust in the inspectors who, until the Great Trumpster Fire came along, were ensuring that Iran wasn't building nukes.

That would depend on which agency you're talking about, and how well Microsoft managed to curry favour with Trump.

I hear that money, flattery, and spurious ersatz medals can go a long way toward making der Trumpenfuhrer look the other way. And if the agency in question was NOAA or CDC, Trump might actually hand out a medal.

US is a danger to everyone.
