Apparently, he was willing. /srs

That’s the kind of optimism I’m looking for. /lh

I guess my plan to run my car into the ground should be updated to keep my car going until I leave this mortal coil. /hj

Everytime the issue of surveillance comes up on my local news stations there is some official from the police or Flock. If they interview someone with concerns, it’s never someone from EFF or a privacy advocate, but a random person on the street who has concerns but thinks the cameras have been integral to solving crimes.

Voters and consumers everywhere have such short attention spans.

That’s terrible. The donkey would be so traumatized. Won’t somebody please think of the donkeys?!? /lh

I love this world where we can be arrested and jailed and have our lives ruined because cops can’t be arsed to verify whether somebody was anywhere else at the time because a machine said ”It’s him…I guess.”

You can go into the settings and manually disable (nearly?) all the features that are removed in the paid version without paying anything. That’s what I did. They aren’t paywalling the ability disable the features.

It doesn’t matter to me whether someone uses Brave or not, but the headline is misleading, though pedantically accurate.

At least the ones who had a chance of making it through the primary.

So tempted to dump my index funds for the short term, but that’s just me throwing a dart against a wall.

I don’t understand why they’re saying the government will provide a high Universal Basic Income when they refuse to pay a fair share of taxes from their wealth or businesses and the the party of fiscal responsibility (/s) is exploding the debt as they do every time they’re in power. Are they thinking a UBI and a Value Added Tax? The numbers will not add up.

I was hoping to find out that he was 8 inches tall and I was disappointed. /hj

Not quite an LLM, but I asked Siri the answer to 24*6, without thinking. When I saw the answer I realized if I actually took a moment using some critical thinking I would have easily gotten it. In short, I believe it.

Some mail services do an email import. Proton worked for me.

Here’s what I did and it took time. I started forwarding my email to my new account first. I did a Google takeout of my email in case I really screwed something up. Then I went through and deleted about 2 decades worth of emails I didn’t need or want Google’s AI to access: old newsletters, shipping and old purchase confirmations, emails with contacts that were purely logistical or ephemeral, etc. Going to all mail and searching mail from Amazon or other retailers and selecting all to delete. After that I used proton’s import tool. I went through and updated my email on all my services to my new email account or an alias. I use iCloud and proton pass - while I pay, a limited number aliases are available in the free tier of PP). As my final step I created an Vacation Response for my contacts (of which I edited already) with my new emwil address and told close contacts about the change.

My family already uses iPhones so calendar so it was easy to move to iCloud from Google. Yeah, that’s moving from a lion’s den to shark infested waters, but I do enjoy swimming. /lh There may be other services, but I haven’t looked into them yet. Generally though, you can send event invites to any calendar and even with Proton you can share a calendar, though it’s more rudimentary.

Get ‘em, Judge!

Eww. CBS is linking to Free Press articles. What next ABC News and Epoch News?!?

Well since Google didn’t slam Europe, it’s not that big of a deal. /lh

We get it, POTUS. You are a racist POS. Now how about the kids in concentration camps with shitty food and no health care or education.
