Well if he isn’t progressive, that’s tough, because he is near top of the progressive list on the Senate:

Anyway, for the leadership position it isn’t as important that the person is progressive. I think the most people are concerned about Schummer is smell of corruption and just not being overall effective.

The biggest skill required is the ability to pass bills.

Pelosi isn’t progressive in any meaning of that word, but she is considered one of best speakers in the US history. That was because she was able to pass a lot of bills.

I don’t think Schummer has these skills and he feels like he might backstab us. That’s IMO is the biggest concern.

Well, they shifted the playing field so even if you are a sociopath/psychopath but in a working class it is still unlikely you get there.

Yeah, there always was that notion that billionaires got where they are because they are really smart.

Those attention seeking billionaires showed us that their wealth has nothing to do with being smart, they aren’t any smarter than an average person, in fact most of the time they are dumber. They got where they are, because they already were wealthy and are not ethical.

He is the only one there with that giant mic and his sound isn’t any better than anyone else’s sound (and a lot of staff was asking him questions)

LOL, yesterday I saw one I think it was Piker was being interviewed, and had this gigantic microphone in front of him and ever few seconds adjusting it’s position, then you could see a tiny microphone on his shirt the same one the host was using.

I found it hilarious.

I guess in podcast space it looks like the bigger microphone you have the bigger deal you are.

Looks like everywhere companies mandate employees to install copilot or equivalent.

I think originally they were saying they won’t be using the proprietary code for training, but I don’t trust those companies when they already broke laws.

Does anyone think that perhaps what they are afraid is that source code of such clone would be compared to the original and show evidence that maybe the model was already trained on the code of the game?

The irony is that if everyone who thought their vote didn’t matter actually voted for a candidate, they would win by a landslide.

Why others government employees are public, but ICE has some special treatment? Is it because they are really trump’s gestapo?

They wrote: “at the University of Kentucky (UK)”, they could write “at the University of Kentucky (a.k.a. UK)” or “at the UK (University of Kentucky)” any of those would be less ambiguous.

LOL when I read it my first impression was: Oh wow, I didn’t know UK also had a city called Kentucky, good that they pointed out it is not in US.

We learned, we put mechanisms in place. We got people in power that actually wants this to happen so they steal even more wealth from us.

I think there should be no bailouts.

Since it is remote execution in UEFI, does that mean if you compromised the system you can now use this to install a backdoor in the firmware so wiping and reinstalling won’t help?

It has its issues, but yeah currently it is the cheapest source of power, it got so cheep that individuals can build their personal power plant for their home.

And we still have idiots fighting it. Even if you don’t care about environment (you are “drill baby drill” kind of person) it still makes sense economically.

That’s one thing, second things is that his name was 3rd most mentioned name in the released files after Maxwell and of course Epstein.

He clearly wasn’t just a customer but part of the conspiracy. His whole modeling business was likely providing young girls to be exploited.

Of course. Over half documents are still not released and Todd Blanche argues they are just duplicates.

Then proceeds to fight in court release of those “duplicates”. If they really are duplicates why waste time appealing, why not just release them?

That addiction made me wonder. Is it possible that AI was secretly used for disinformation on social media? I see some similarities.

Covid kind of exposed how he operates.

His problem was that the virus did not pay attention to the media or care about politics.

This is great. This was one of things that I disliked about Lemmy, as being federated makes it harder to use external search engines.

I think that might be the final thing to make me switch from DDG to Kagi.
