The problem isn’t inherent to AI. The issues are little different from the industrial revolution or robber barons, where industry is power, and the most malicious are ever grasping to obtain it.

The solution isn’t to abandon AI, but for ordinary people to become masters of the technology. Every home server, allows a homestead to have understanding and agency over their tools. If enough individuals own their own AI, it would become possible to overcome the influence of corporations, such as community projects to provide AI utilities to their communities.

For example, say a phone app is developed and spread by a town. It’s purpose is to record receipts with a cellphone camera, and then the town’s AI analyzes it. Using comparisons of purchasing prices, it can detect whether pricing is being changed on a individual basis, or other shenanigans. This can help stem price fixing and other corruptions.

We, as a society, should use AI to help counter malicious actors and to provide helpful services.

The midterms will decide whether it is a troubled peace or a violent war that defines the next era of America.

I will keep speaking, and if it comes down to it, bear arms against tyrants.

While it is good that the Regime will lose many capable soldiers…I must say, this is lame and will feature as a WTF in history videos to come. We will literally have this as one of the many reasons why the Regime lost the 2nd American Civil War, if it comes down to it.

It is just weird and stupid. 🤷‍♂️

99.99.99% odds that the arrest warrant is fake or rubber stamped.

A brief personal report about fried chicken prices in America…

• 2025: $24-$26 dollars for 24 pieces.
• 2026: $26, $28, and now $31 dollars.

Also, I am seeing many items suffering from shrinkflation. Terrific. 😒

It ain’t over until members of DOGE and Musk have been put to sleep. They will just do this again, when the Regime needs vandals to do the dirty deeds.

Anyone in a political position, should have a fixed income without any optional ways to make bank. If you work for the people, it should stay that way during and after your tenure.

Windows itself is quite good. The big problems come from who is managing it. If Microsoft wasn’t invasive, I would gladly throw a couple hundred bucks at them and get on with my computing life.

My latest version of Thunderbird comes with the far right side panel being used to read email, the center panel a list, and the left is my boxes.

Seems like a branch that could use the liberal application of an axe.

I think the nation as a whole should be divided up into four regional blocs, each with their own judiciary, executive, legislative, military branches, and a regional president. They submit personnel to the national body, including National Justices. This keeps any single territory, person, or party from dominating the ideology of the national court.

What I am thinking, is something like…

• 3 executive justices, chosen by the executive without presidential input.
• 3 judiciary justices, required to have served a long time as a judge.
• 3 legislative justices, chosen by the elected representatives.
• 3 military justices, chosen by rank and file soldiers by popular election.
• 1 presidential justice. When the president who picked the justice leaves office, so does their pick.

If we have 4 regions, and including the National President’s single justice…

• 53 national justices, total.

Also, add in…

• 10 year term limit total, that can’t be renewed nor extended. Presidential justices also are subjected to this restriction.

• An age limit of 60. A justice has to have a sound mind, and reasonably modern understanding of the nation’s people and a grasp of technology.

• Elimination of the shadow docket, and limits on the amount of vacation time that justices can have in a year. We want them to do their job.

I am figuring on playing Palworld again about a month after launch. Modders will have some work to do to bring their stuff up to date, dealing with the influx of players, week 1 super-patching, and so forth. Gotta let such teething issues of a launch to be ironed out.

In particular, I want to have gliding pals and pokeball throwing back again.

Ublock user: “What are these…ads, that you speak of? They sound intriguing.”

The most hated, and probably the last of this United States. Odds are that we would have a new nation or many that would replace this abominable thing.

If I were god king of (USA/Europe/Asia…the Universe), I would subsidize repairable laptops. It would save resources in the long run, for both humanity and the planet.

This is the way. If there is a 2nd American Civil War, we shouldn’t forget the lesson of the 1st Reconstruction: don’t spare the evil fuckers, they will just pass down their vile beliefs.

Here’s hoping that the bubble pops. I want to fill my machine with RDIMMs, and swap all of my SATA SSDs with 8tb 2280s.

In theory, completely rewriting legacy software with AI could be a great thing - doing so every 3 or 4 years, allowing newer and better AI to tackle the task, optimizing for every development made in technology or standards.

However, this still requires human minds to define, guide, and verify these projects. AI opens up possibilities for better development, but executives seem determined to fritter away such potential by axing the human element.

It is like a certain story…
