I'll always reskeet when strippers & sex workers are doing their normal, good-hearted, community works. 🥰

I've agreed with a lot of things that pronto has said in the past but this one pretty much tops the list.

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

The amount of nationalistic xenophobic paranoia around the Sipeed KVM product is honestly sickening. It uses a retail board made for general use that has a Mic. It includes some closed source. It's software, maintained by the Chinese company who made it references servers and DNS in China. 1/

The stirring up of the xeonphobic concerns over the Sipeed #KVM device and the microphone a "researcher" "found" this week is so irritating. wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/... www.cnx-software.com/2024/02/08/l... linuxgizmos.com/licheerv-nan... Known feature on the microcontroller board used.

Researcher finds microphone on micro-controller board that is part of its published feature set, posts article, gets clicks film at 11. Sipeed used a commercially available board, its like you buy a Pi, make a specific device from it, sell it, and dont mention its a Pi, someone opens the box and..

When I see someone I once credited with being fairly intelligent defend AI because it helps some people. And it only takes destroying the privacy of the world, stealing from billions of creators of, art, culture and curators of knowledge. To what real end? Don't attach altruistic meaning to 1/

I was recently blocked by someone who, by all accounts, wears their disdain for AI on their sleeve. Which makes me wonder if they thought I was pro-AI??? Even though I've literally written soatok.blog/2025/05/04/t... before????? Some of y'all are wild.

Anyone have a RedMagic 11 Pro? How much of the AI feature set can be turned off? I'm tired of the lag on my OnePlus 13 already.

Just remember the companies you choose to spend money with make choices of what to do with that money and who to support/sponsor. www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming...

Then you have lost a customer. F-U You don't get to make ultimatums like that.

For anyone that has had a hard time scheduling a covid shot.. I don’t know about all of them but can say the local Harris Teeter pharmacy is happy to schedule Covid and flu vaccines.

More like ebay will continue to gobble up competitors to remove pressure on its horribly high fees.

Anyone remember back in the 90's when there were literally proprietary network hardware and protocol setups. Standards make things nice and easy..... ....for everyone.
