Wow weird Bono’s been saying they’re six months away since….1995

How any didn’t vote, and how many were removed from voter rolls or didn’t have the right ID or were gerrymandered or

You mean the one with the fake-ass ear bandage kayfabe?

Death is dangerous to life and groups of chuds threatening people who don’t sing their national anthem in their preferred language are attempting to coerce a population.

I think people in America typically have a definition like this:

“Terrorists” are defined as looking exactly like Osama Bin Laden and shouting “ISLAMIC JIHAD ALLAHU AKBAR LALALLALALALALALAL” before exploding like a stuck lemming from the video game “Lemmings”.

They also think that politics is operated purely on lies and name calling for power grabs and so therefore since they gave the terrorist label to brown people, they can’t ever be one and all their actions are excusable since it’s impossible for them to be a terrorist.

Really, because I have a Bosch and I had to install the app and then use HACS to install an integration which goes through their cloud.

I don’t use that for anything more than alerts but it’s annoying it has zero local control. This is a perfect use case for Zigbee or Z-Wave and if I’m paying a premium I don’t get why I wouldn’t get premium features.

Also some features are app only (special dry modes etc) so if I want the functionality I paid for I have to be signed up for their cloud.

Newer Bosch lock SOME features behind their app. There are literally no buttons for it, you HAVE to have a smartphone and internet and you HAVE to use their app to use the features.

EDIT: clarified that it’s only some features

McDonald’s also had a ”Third Pounder” and it had the same issue

That’s good because they can’t do math anyway

Goood thing there is no AGI

I don’t have the article but basically when the rich aren’t taxed proportionally, their wealth and therefore power grows, while the lower classes get squeezed harder as they must give up a greater portion of their wealth in order to fund the obligations toward said infrastructure that keeps the whole machine running.

When used inappropriately, they are one piece of the larger system that funnels all the wealth upwards at the expense of everyone and everything else.

Or they got mysteriously purged from voter rolls despite voting in every one for the past 5 elections for checks notes oh, Democrats

Oddly enough, most of these fanatics either believe it to the letter or use it as a tool to manifest others into doing things in service of it coming true.

All you need for a prophecy to come true is enough people to believe it, apparently

It’s annoying that every middle manager is trying to become the hero of their company by pushing it inappropriately into every single field at the expense of productivity and jobs, while simultaneously the largest most powerful companies are slinging their SaaS solutions built on stolen data which are destroying communities of both the physical and hobby varieties and consuming more natural resources than all the fucking crypto scams of the last like 10 years

But yeah it’s neat I guess

Well hopefully it will be the start of actions, but I don’t have high hopes.

Going immediately to counter-assault gives ammo to the freaks who think their actions are justified and they will escalate. Same with the IDF after Oct 6th, same with the US government after gestures broadly literally everything since WWII.

Real responsibility means making a statement first. Real courage means following through if you get a response you don’t like.

The first action they took was the correct one. I have little faith they’ll find the courage to take the second one (but I’d love to be proven wrong)

In addition to what everyone else has said, they’re doing all this not-useful work replacing humans with unrealistic hype, but to do it they’re using up SO MUCH natural resources it’s astonishing.

They have caused chip shortages. They are extracting all the natural water from aquifers in an area for cooling and then dumping it because it’s no longer potable. Microsoft and Google are talking about building nuclear power plants dedicated JUST to the LLMs.

They are doing this all for snake oil as others have pointed out. It’s destroying the world socially, economically, and physically. And not in a “oh cars disrupted buggy whips” kind of way; in a “the atmosphere is no longer breathable” kind of way.

France literally issued a condemnation and called for them to all be released.

Why are you making a literal out of the + operator? This will not work.

grep -o ‘/dev/loop[0-9]+’

No, and to make that work using the current structures we use for creating AI models we’d probably need all the collective computing power on earth at once.

I was just going to say synthesizer but if we’re being specific the TB-303 is the king, especially with some real dirty overdrive
