Trump is spending more on ICE than other countries spend on their entire military

It's not allowed.

There's only one opinion on AI allowed on social media: It's the worst thing to ever happen and produced by stealing from starving child artists. The ouput is somehow simultaneously the worst quality imaginable with no redeeming qualities and also about to put every creative out of a job by next quarter.

The fact that you don't hold this opinion tells everyone what a horrible person that you are for not knowing the right opinion to have.

Enjoy being downvoted out of the conversation between tech illiterate children who believe everything they're told and tech illiterate creatives who haven't found a hyperbole that they cannot employ in their Luddite quest to stop advanced linear algebra

"employers and taxpayers" is like "job creators".

They don't want to say "the ultra wealthy" because that would be too accurate for the owner of the site, who is an ultra wealthy person.

Really? Maybe I have been missing them my whole life.

Yup, but if you try to tell the youth of today that, they'd never believe you

Worms/Scorched Earth/Liero (pixel physics!)

That era had so many good Gorilla clones.

This is legit a fun take on the autobattler genre. Feels like you're building a character in an RPG. It's "multiplayer" in that you play other people's saves so you can learn combos pretty easily.

Definitely recommend

I watched it at 11, spent half the movie thinking that I had half a medieval movie on the VCR tape (👴) because it didn't make any sense.

At the black knight scene I got the joke and rewatched the whole thing several times a month for a while.

This looks like malicious compliance to me.

They were probably given a list of things that the parade had to have and they went down the list. Marching in formation (doesn't say in step anywhere), check. Tanks (from 1980), check. Soldiers with drones (from Best Buy), check. Music, check.

It could be a distro if enough of us download it

The problem with trying to increase the signal to noise ratio is that you don't know all of the datapoints that are being collected and some of those datapoints could be used to filter the real from the fake.

Like, in your example, if you made all of these account from the same browser then they could be linked together. If they were made on the same IP, they could be linked together. If you were using the same phone, they could be linked together. Those are just the datapoints that we know to try to protect, it's the datapoints that you don't know that get you.

Like, maybe your phone or desktop is screenshotting itself every 5 seconds ("for AI purposes") or maybe the app that you're trying to fool also secretly sends your GPS location during account creation or maybe the adversary has malware running on your PC which is keylogging you.

IF you knew all of the ways that they were collecting data on you, then you could take countermeasures. Since you don't, you have to assume that any of your identities can be linked to your person unless you take unusual measures such, not using Microsoft/Google/Meta/Amazon/etc products at a minimum. Depending on your security needs this could also mean things like using burner hardware, non-commercial VPNs, physically disabling sensors/radios/ports, traffic/network monitoring, etc.
