Yep, this is the big story in it I think as well. Sen. Ron Wyden has been investigating the Epstein financial ties and has uncovered billions in suspect wire transfers that several big banks bent the rules on for him.

It’s often a great day when the trump cult bullshit gets closely examined in a court of law. Because when all you have is bullshit, it’s pretty hard to prove anything with it.

Fine, it should be interesting to see the numbers of participants on both sides of this. Imagine being a soldier being deployed against the people of your own country, and seeing their numbers outnumber your company by 100 to 1 or more. If they’re not fully committed nazis they should be wondering if they are on the wrong side by then.

Excellent Norm M. meme from October 1994

Same here, as I only use open-source clients on the phone. It’s been obvious for many years that the apps made by the social media companies are spyware, so I’ve stayed away from them.

But also I use the web mostly, and “switching” on the web just means closing one tab and opening another to visit a different URL. It’s sad that many folks who use the Internet don’t understand how or try to avoid the hellscape of app lock-in. The web is here for our open usage just as it has been for decades.

Nah many people don’t live in their cars. I have 2 cars and never use Android Auto even when I could. I’m usually busy with driving instead of fooling with phone bullshit when I’m in the car anyway.

Congress is the branch of the government that can declare war, not the President.

Who yeah baby!! Attack on Honcho SMACKED down by bigass Bombshell Receipts! Honcho Man bounces back with Atomic Elbow Drop from the corner ropes! Sting swoops down a rope to the ring and throws off his trenchcoat…

Bessent is also the guy who stopped Ron Wyden’s investigation’s access to Treasury Dept data on Epstein’s wire transfers. He’s a core member of the Epstein cover up

Well what you’re deciding to believe about that is just wrong. Members of the Biden administration did assist (D) senator Wyden’s investigation into wire transfers of billions of dollars to Epstein, which is still ongoing and he has published a list of dozens of names that he found records of financial involvement with Epstein. That investigation which Biden staff cooperated with is being blocked by Trump’s staff currently.

Self-hosters are probably the type of people who are interested in getting away from “big tech” corporate solutions for everything, so it makes sense that they would prefer Fediverse versions

You don’t have to host your whole family’s library though. You can start with whatever you want and be on the road to improving your setup.

Some of the judicial system is still holding up, so that’s good news. They really just need to do their jobs and make proper rulings according to law to be a good check against the criminal regime of Adolf Diddler.

Are they moving this project forward at Warp Speed by any chance?

Anybody else find this kind of thing highly disturbing? Almost sounds like the AI is accidentally sparking up some feelings and spiraling into despair. We can laugh at it now but what happens when something like this happens in an AI weapons system?

I don’t know enough about AI or metaphysical stuff to argue whether a “consciousness” could ever be possible in a machine. I’m worried enough about what we can already see here without going that deep.

That sumbitch is probably going to try to give away Alaska to Russia or something worse

What a trashy bastard, shit-apples don’t fall far from the tree eh

There’s the daily stupid / corrupt bullshit from orange hitler again.

I thought it was just upside down M making a W in the name, upside-down (Bizzarro) Mario
