So, if I’ve got this right, AI tools attacked them, and this prompted them to buy AI tools?

Tech companies and creating the problems they sell the solution to, a pairing as old as time. Eg, I’ve always thought that Google probably surreptitiously attacks websites that don’t have Captcha, and then comes along and says Captcha would prevent the attacks.

It took me a little while to realise they just mean the tickbox you select to remember your password, rather than some special prompt being fed into Claude, along the lines of “make no mistakes” or “don’t hallucinate”.

Could be setting up a fall guy?

or never have it to begin with

I didn’t forget to mention avoiding Google Play Services.

But yeah it’s harder to find ROMs without gapps these days, but still possible. MicroG in particular is like stacking a house of cards most of the time. It’s always a trade off on what’s available… makes you want to learn how to cook.

Custom Android ROMs still have some viability, but it’s been getting harder to find ones without gapps these days.

Well there’s your problem. On Android phones you can disable the Google Photos app (or remove it all together, or never have it to begin with) and replace it with a Free and Open Source Software version that doesn’t do any of that crap.

You can also install Firefox (or a secure fork eg IronFox) with ublock origin and block ads.

Article title now says “leads”. Are they leaving room for a challenge/Trump to overturn the vote?

You fight like a dairy farmer!!

Literally the one plus side to Brexit lmao

Although they’ve been talking about it…

This sounds a bit like people demanding that almond milk should be called “nut juice”.

You mean the dairy industry lobby group? Because that’s all that ever was.

I mean this article is more sensationalist than anything else around it. This is a non-story.

The judge here hasn’t implied that the McRib is or isn’t deception. They’ve just ruled that the question is valid enough to warrant a court hearing.

McDonalds tried to dismiss the question as obviously absurd. The judge hasn’t even really disagreed with that, except that it isn’t immediately obviously absurd. “McRib” + kinda rib shaped = maybe a claim of it being ribs? Worth a bigger discussion, at least.

The facts presented in the hearing will play it out, and realistically McD’s will probably win. The McRib is priced the same as their other fast food offerings, and far less than an actual set of ribs would be. I mean, it’s kinda like arguing a “Big Mac” implies some special cut of beef, or a McNugget is a special type of chicken (it is, but not like that).

But McD’s still have to go to court and argue their case. And who knows, maybe they’ll blow it up massively in their face like that time they lost the European trademark for Big Mac.

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, but I think we’re deviating a long way from “which party follows Jesus’ teachings”.

To bring it back, as I said at the top it’s obvious which party is worse overall, but on “following Jesus’ teachings” and “values regarding underage sex” the difference between the two parties is much less significant.

Will he vote for the party that is in support of ^{the values of Vatican regarding} underage sex, that, however, is diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus?

Or the one that is less distant from Jesus’s teachings? [but doesn’t support underage sex]

You could pretty much flip it around either way with this comparison from your top comment. That’s all I was really saying.

Although, to be fair, it’s rarely the Democrats who get caught or convicted for underage sex crimes.

I would say both are evil, you’re just quibbling over which one is more evil.

The point I’m making is that the difference doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme. Both are wrong, neither should be accepted.

They’re giving us two choices when really we should be punching them in the face.

Surely this will get better with their removal of old reddit.

It will get better with their removal of old reddit… Right?

Less hostile, but still not exactly in keeping with Jesus’ teachings. Deportations were going up under Biden, albeit nowhere near as much as since Trump came back.

Like I say, neither party really stands above the other, on this specific scale. They’re both well below par.

Obviously Trump’s Republican party is far worse than the Democrats, overall. But if you’re just comparing them on their alignment with the teachings of Jesus and meaningfully doing anything about wealthy people engaging in sex with minors, it’s still obvious which one is better but neither party is actually any good.

It doesn’t matter which one is better when both of them fail so hard at it.

The fun part is you could be referring to either party lol

On the topics of underage sex and the teachings of Jesus, neither party really stands above the other.

Obviously Trump is a fart.

At this point it’s pretty blatant that OpenAI are engaging in price fixing more than they are actually delivering AI datacentres.

Alternate headline: Firefox is now the only browser worth using.

And in any case, lumping Firefox as one browser is disingenuous. There are numerous Firefox forks, just like every other major browser is in fact a Google Chromium fork.
