You might not know for sure, but that does seem like a likely explanation! I don’t know how I didn’t think of that. Thanks!

For someone not familiar with Colombia generally, what would you say he meant by “I will tell you the numbers”? As in, economic numbers, like he was motivated by the desire to protect his future? Or numbers like what he was paid? Or numbers like there are gangs with numerical names like “the third fourteenths”? Or…?

Normally I’d say I should have read the article, but in this case it seems it was wise to stick with the summary! 😂

Ah, post most have been updated before I saw the mistake. I was hoping it might be a fun new code to keep an eye out for. Thanks!

Indeed, your one has a zero on the end.

I see two comments like this, but I’m out of the loop so I’m gonna ask… What’s 75? Edit: a link is an acceptable response, I’m happy to read 😅

Don’t think this will affect anything other than his cronies’ attempt at looting our country. The rest of us don’t get a look-in.

Report them to ICE?

Hopefully, some folks smarter and more capable than me can figure it out.

I have some terrible, chilling news for you: nobody is that much smarter or more capable than you. We’re all in the same boat, looking at each other with raised eyebrows while the screeching gibbons some other arsehole put in charge throw their own shit at each other instead of doing their supposed jobs. Some of the crew have tried bailing out the bilge or correcting course to avoid the impending iceberg, but then they get hit by gibbon shit with startling accuracy. Everyone’s varying levels of worried, nobody has any answers.

edit: sorry, allowed myself a little fun with the analogy. It’s a dark morning. I don’t think some extraordinary hero is going to come fix this, though.

Musk breaks silence

WHAT silence? That asshole has been the source of a rising crescendo of bullshit covering an increasingly broad range of topics on which he is absolutely unqualified to comment for years. The miracle would be if he managed to shut the fuck up for several consecutive moments.

I stand corrected, this speaks to my robot soul

“Polished” is a generous word for it. I think you might be mistaking generic plastic gloss for polish, though. AI writing is so formulaic, it’s like looking at a repeating texture in a video game. It writes lyrics like a five year old, too - very simple, entirely conventional, no creativity. Nothing new.

Here’s how you know it’s not ready: AI hasn’t replaced a single CEO.

I’m sorry to say you’re incorrect. I have family who receive social security cheques, and they will not blame Trump and Musk if the cheques don’t arrive.

I understand, I was in exactly the same position. Then my battery swelled and wouldn’t hold a charge at all, so I couldn’t restore anything anyway, and my last backup was inaccessible (I know I know, test your backups, but like I started this post with I’m in the same boat of all work and no time for me).

Losing everything was remarkably freeing. Just switch all your 2FA to Aegis as has been suggested, and save anything you want to back up over the wire, then take the plunge. You won’t lose everything like I had to, and you won’t regret the switch 😊

antithetical to the spirit of silicon valley

Tell me you haven’t been paying attention without telling me you haven’t been paying attention.

Good thing there’s no more FEMA!

Wait, no that was a terrible mistake.

I believe her. It doesn’t change my extremely negative opinion of her, her positions, or her actions by even a single iota; but I believe her. Until proven otherwise.

Hell yeah, talk about collective action! I’m sure the reports from this thread weren’t the only ones, and it was probably already under review, but every pebble counts in a landslide. Thanks for letting all of us know 😊

Nice, thanks for you contribution! 🙌
