Awesome. If I saw someone 10 years older than me absolutely tearing up a path in the woods, pushing themselves the way I remember biking for fun, I'd be nothing short of inspired.

Yeah because there's not just a lack of evidence for the touted mass rapes or child beheadings, but actually solid evidence and witness testimony against them. We even know the guy who spread these falsehoods.

Meanwhile the IOF is on camera using rape as a weapon of war against hostages, and on record defending it.

In the US, corporate media is largely aligned with the Trump regime and journalists that dare to ask an actual question are denied access.

In unrelated news: the Lybian "coast guard" is using their EU-provided ships in international waters to shoot at rescue ships and threaten to abduct the crew.

Much less a genocidal ethnostate.

Short-term, yes. Maintaining the client integrations is a ton of work. If BW ever breaks selfhosted integrations, it's gonna be a shitshow.

That's what they are trying to communicate here, yes. But 8.5 million users didn't need to be told they need to trust the platform, they chose to. As did I with a premium plan to cover MFA and attachments.

Now with business types in charge and a hidden doubling of the fees, that's more than halfway out the window no matter what the website stands for. I'm guessing somebody decided it's time to cash in on the goodwill they built over the past decade.

You really believe that with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in charge of its initial parameters and training, bar any oversight? That stretches hope too far in my book.

Any new technology is subject to the same problems under capitalism, specifically maximising profits to the detriment of anything else. This is especially bad with centralised tools. An AGI wouldn't just magically take global control.

It's really difficult to recuperate waste heat spread across such a large space in a way that doesn't compromise on cooling effectiveness.

This was probably an artistic choice to make it look like gold rather than any molten metal to the average watcher.

Not to forget about the crypto scams, presidential merchandise, obvious corruption, polymarket bullshit... to name only a handful.
