The fact the GOP backed him thinking he'd pull voters from Democrats shows just how out of touch the GOP has gotten

I've found a lot of people are legitimately more interested when you sell stuff this way because terms like "union" or "socialism" have been heavily stigmatized "for some reason"

Here's the actual relevant part

These are security risks to be sure, and while these permissions are (mostly) on the surface, possibly defensible, together they do clearly represent an app trying to gather all of the data that it can.

However, a lot of info from this report is overblown. For example code compilation is sketchy to be sure, but without a privilege escalation attack, it can't do anything the app couldn't do with an update.

Also, there's some weird language in the report, like counting the green security issues in other apps (like tiktok) as if they were also a problem, despite the image showing that green here means it doesn't present that particular risk.

All of this to say, if you have temu, probably uninstall it. It's clearly collecting all the data it can get.

But it's unlikely to be the immediate threat that will have China taking over your phone like this report implies.

This analysis is spot on

Because it's supposed to be something else

To Trump supporters, this sound like "The deep state doesn't want Trump to be president". Messaging like this reinforces their narratives

No, but its a convenient bogeyman for people who believe that the German party calling themselves "National Socialists" means that party was an example of actual socialism

This is functionally spending money on the climate crisis, on the side of the crisis.

So things are working out for you, specifically. Great, nothing needs to change.

It's actually reasonably short. I'm not seeing anything that doesn't appear directly related to derpfakes

Something that I don't see mentioned, is that gaben is a mortal being, and there's no plan as far as we can tell what happens to the company when he retires.

Even if he runs the company "perfectly" until the day he dies, at some point it gets sold off to the highest bidder, and whoever that is will want a return on their investment. Someone will slaughter that golden goose, it's only a matter of time.

And it's not like he delivered flawlessly, he still has at least one part where he seemed to get lost, and the crowd covered for him.

Did have real mixed feelings about the "Thank You Joe" chant. It was kind of wholesome in a way, but I imagine it feels bad to have been pushed out like he was.

I think they are talking about Republican efforts to limit voting access, not that doing more than voting makes it harder.

I've come to really like the saying "voting is the least effective form of civic engagement"

Yeah, reddit was likely a major source of training data.

That's why it gives you a panel of 9 images. It would have a high confidence on some images, and a low confidence on others. When you pick the correct images and don't pick incorrect ones it uses the ones it's confident about as "validation" while taking the feedback on low confidence images to update the training data.

What this does mean in practice is that only ones actually being "graded" are the ones bots can solve anyway.

This is way too coherent

"You were messing around"

I would guess that it's an activity pub thing where the comments haven't actually synched to your instance yet

Let's not pretend that there isn't an active effort to undermine the meaning of Nazi. I've seen many more claims of Nazi being overused than I have of anyone actually accusing someone of being a Nazi, in good faith or otherwise

You're not doing anything wrong, the multi user experience ootb is awful if you share any games.

Probably worth noting that this bot uses LSA and, at least as I understand it, is quite different from gpts and the current wave of "AI" as discussed in this article.

I think your best bet for this is one of the spinoffs of enterprise Linux: fedora or openSUSE. both are very solid ootb, and have starting configurations that are generally good.

The microos or silverblue variants respectively are really promising as well, but still have some caveats.
