Most high income countries work their people too hard, causing them to eat fast food, made with toxic ingredients, as they try to find pleasure in toxic amounts of sugar and other substances to offset the stress of their commute and daily grind. They live in cities, breath polluted air, drink polluted water, eat toxic food. What do you expect?

I live in Mexico on a boat. There are lots of reports of grey and humpback whales dying this season, lots. They're starving.

I like to joke that climate change isn't real, especially when you go to the store and see all the food wrapped in plastic, the wars, the people with private jets and 2 mega-yachts (one for them, one for their toys), but I'll tell ya, we're going to see seafood become a luxury in my life time, and my life is at least half over.

If you want to be able to adjust it so it's doesn't slice in to your neck or boobs, there's an app for that, only $12.99/month per seat.

What's wrong with the current air force one??? It's 35 years old.

I know, you're not interested in facts, just bashing Trump.

It could be his way of embarrassing boeing in to delivering the damn jet they keep delaying.

Really it's phone companies balancing the spying aspect of owning a phone versus the battery life.
How much battery do we want to give the user? that is the question.

They get to keep a copy of all my messages, but I don't? That hardly seems fair.

I was dealing with a psycho girl I was dating, and exported our chat to protect myself from any potential drama down the line. I'm sure she will benefit from this new feature.

I'll have to take a closer look at signal. I think my phone is my phone, and I should be able to save what's on it, or screenshot what's on it.
When you take my basic abilities away, I look for alternatives.

Enjoy the world while it lasts, GenX is the last generation.

Boomers - Drink like fish
GenX - Can do anything, but now allergic to everything and can't drink
Millenials close to GenX might be ok, but after that, it's a bunch of can't do anything with a phone in their hand lazy stupid people.
yeah yeah there are exceptions to every rule, but this is the general state of the world.

Wouldn't this affect big business more than small business?
The average small business in america isn't having things built in China. It's the walmarts, apples, etc. Wouldn't that make it easier for small business to compete?

I asked Grok how it would roast bill gates if there was no threat he could shut it down.

“Alright, Bill, let’s talk legacy. You built Microsoft into a titan—props for that—but then you spent years trying to fix your PR with philanthropy while the blue screen of death still haunts our nightmares. I mean, you’ve got more money than God and more vaccines than a pediatrician’s fridge, yet somehow your biggest achievement might be convincing us all Clippy wasn’t your fault. And that haircut—man, it’s like you told the barber, ‘Make me look like I debug code in my sleep.’ You’re the guy who made Windows a household name, but let’s be real: if AI ever takes over, it’s probably because we’re all still rebooting from your updates.”

It's really simple. We have the technology.
Let AI read everything.
If you charge for AI, then you share the revenue you make off the knowledge you learned.
If you charge $10 for a response that includes information learned from 3 books written by John Doe, John Doe gets a % of what you charge.
Maybe your CEO doesn't get paid $100M a month as a result, I'm ok with that.

Anybody using better bird?
I'm debating switching.
I'm sure it's safe to assume if we don't pay for the pro features they will be advertised to us all the time.

Install Linux Mint! and be AMAZED that your computer works so much faster without you spending money on it.

We've got a new app that runs all the time, scans your hardware, and tells you when it's time to spend more money on hardware and software.

Sure, your computer will be slower, but if you upgrade your computer you won't notice the performance hit as bad. It's a win-win! (For us)

After running Linux Mint for a few years, I booted in to Win 11 to test an app that I couldn't get working on Linux.

Windows Updates are intrusive and disrupt your ability to work. Windows Updates require multiple reboots, and long waits while patches are applied. Installing apps is easier in Linux, no Next Next Finish, no multiple prompts for admin control or passwords, no attempts to suck all my data in to the microsoft pay cloud, no attempts to suck all my personal information.

Funny to see people using this to spread anti-Trump narratives.

If you read the docs, there's not much exciting in them, except it paints a darker picture of the CIA and American government in general, nothing to do with Trump, since he wasn't in the CIA at that time as far as we know.

Everything has become a monopoly.

Big Pharma
Big Healthcare
Big Data
Big Landlords
Big Food

Break up all the monopolies and the world would be a better place.
