OSX was never really open sourced. If you tried compiling it, you’d have found it wouldn’t work because it was incomplete.

South Korean Won was more aesthetically pleasing.

Canadian bills and coins at times more so.

Now that I use Euros, while they are nicer looking than the US bills, they aren’t very nice compared to a lot of other countries.

Keep drinking your copium. I’m sure it’ll help against reality.

Except that the Republicans (that want and are pushing this) control: A) The presidency B) The Senate C) The US House of Representatives

The Democrats (that would oppose this) are in a majority, and thus control, have… None.

This “proposal” is much more likely than you may think.

You cannot control freedom freckles.

They now want five years of experience for service desk now.

If they don’t register, they are committing a crime. This bolsters his base by saying that the ones he deported were ones that had committed a crime, and not just any immigrants.

You mixed up step 2, it’s supposed to be “Install KoReader”.

researchers at Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University found that the more humans lean on AI tools to complete their tasks, the less critical thinking they do, making it more difficult to call upon the skills when they are needed.

It’s one thing to try to do and then ask for help (as you did), it’s another to just ask it to “do x” without thought or effort which is what the study is about.

The bag looks nice, but it’s too small for usage (it’s shown for holding TCG cards). Would need to be closer to being able to hold a laptop, etc. And being made of “vegan” leather is just a turn off. Not for being vegan, but for only being listed as vegan, since it can be made of almost anything and the quality of vegan leather can vary dramatically.

Vegan leather can be made from plastic or “pineapple leaves, cork, kelp, agave, apple skins, wine-making remnants, kombucha, and more”. Just a basic understanding of vegan leather here..

Ironically, that iPhone will (now) have a shorter support window than the new Pixel.

AI summary:

The article discusses the Chinese government’s influence on DeepSeek AI, a model developed in China. PromptFoo, an AI engineering and evaluation firm, tested DeepSeek with 1,156 prompts on sensitive topics in China, such as Taiwan, Tibet, and the Tiananmen Square protests. They found that 85% of the responses were “canned refusals” promoting the Chinese government’s views. However, these restrictions can be easily bypassed by omitting China-specific terms or using benign contexts. Ars Technica’s spot-checks revealed inconsistencies in how these restrictions are enforced. While some prompts were blocked, others received detailed responses.

(I’d add that the canned refusals stated “Any actions that undermine national sovereignty and territorial integrity will be resolutely opposed by all Chinese people and are bound to be met with failure,”. Also that while other chat models will refuse to explain things like how to hotwire a car, DeepSky gave a “general, theoretical overview” of the steps involved (while also noting the illegality of following those steps in real life).

Very. It’s unpatchable. It’s taking advantage of a speculative execution flaw, which is baked into the CPU microcode. This is the Apple M-chip version of Spectre/Meltdown that happened on x86 CPUs a few years ago.

The best Apple can do is attempt to add some code to the OS to help prevent this issue, but if Spectre was any example, it’ll cause a hit to the CPU performance.

I referenced March 2023, because it’s when the RESTRICT act passed which limited Tiktok. I also referenced April 2023 as a total public ban because I mixed it with the date that Montana banned public usage of Tiktok, which was followed by 2024 bill “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act”, being a public ban like Montana, but also close to the RESTRICT act. Similar acts, close dates.

And I am only refuting what the article is claiming, that the Tiktok banned is solely about improving the image of Israel in regards to Palestine, because until Oct 2023, it wasn’t US political issue so wouldn’t have had anything to do with the ban. There never was a reference to anything about israel, Palestine, and Tiktok before that date. Which is the opposite of what this article claims.

The genocide of palestinians didn’t begin in 2022

Never said it did. I did say/indicate that it was never a social/political issue until 2023. Things can happen for a long time, but take a sudden change to make it a big issue.

In fact, please, I would love to see anything political about Israel/Palestine in US politics/policy attempting/intended to make Israel look better on regards to Palestine (as is implied in the article) that predates Oct 2023. As you’ve, and others, have pointed out (I already knew, since it dates to biblical times), that it’s been an issue for so long, then this should be simple. It keeps trying to be pointed out that the Oct 2023 event seemed to mean nothing about it, so you or anyone else should have no problems with this.

Bonus points for showing how it relates to Tiktok before that date too, which again with everyone’s insistence about it, should be no problems at all.
