“‘ Everyone thinks DOGE is great,’ another administration official said.”

Everyone?

“Musk clapped back by calling Bessent a ‘Soros agent’"

🙄

I don’t. The more they fight the less they get done.

Has he considered resigning?

I hope no one gets it. It should be its own separate company.

Never had this problem with YouTube’s algorithm. If anything, it offers 20 more videos from the same channel after I watch just one.

Are you using the options where you tell it you don’t like this video/don’t recommend this channel/thumbs down the video? There are like three different ways to tell YouTube you’re not interested.

“It is a recognized ozone-depleting chemical… The compound was used extensively as a pesticide until being phased out by most countries in the early 2000s.”

“The Montreal Protocol stipulates that bromomethane use be phased out.”

I guess everyone is phasing it out except the US? Figures.

Still waiting on an enterprising social network to start detecting photoshopped and AI-generated images, and badging them as such. If AI can generate this slop, surely it can be used to detect it.

So will this guy just end up back on Fox News?

I didn’t sound like a centralized system from the article. More like they want a third party like Verisign or something.

Something will have to be done as these platforms become more popular to cut down on fraud and disinformation. You don’t want people impersonating other people or organizations, or companies. Even if Bluesky starts federating to other platforms, just knowing that they have a blue sky blue check would be an improvement if you could display that check on other clients like mastodon posts.

ICANN has already made a mess of domain names so I don’t know if relying on the domain is enough. People are using non-Roman characters to trick people into thinking a website domain is the real thing. Others are buying up all these random domains so you get things like medicare.net and medicare.org and medicare.com etc etc.

I dunno what the answer is. Just rambling out loud in frustration.

I don’t see anything controversial in the article. Did I miss something? Just looks like a way to make sure the public figures and companies you are communicating with are who they say they are.

What makes you think it will just be used on immigrants?

There are no “savings”. That was a cover story. This is about gaining access to data and firing anyone who might enforce rules.

The FTC is the organization that never should have approved these mergers in the first place.

I wonder how many times he’s sold his sperm at the sperm bank? Seems like it would be simpler and he wouldn’t owe child support.

He used IVF.

I thought “google shopping ads” were those “click here to purchase from…” ads that show up when you search for something like a t-shirt, or a vacuum. Not ads for the app.

These people are so gross.

So are they insinuating that Google App Store “popularity” ranking is actually paid product placement?

Don’t some system updates require a reboot as well? Would be nice if this applied updates as part of this cycling.

I’m fine with this. The LBGT community doesn’t need “fair weather friends”. This lets us know which companies to actually spend our money with.
