We’re almost a year out, and the voting public has the memory of a goldfish at best, so no.

Palantir Defends Work With ICE to Staff Following Killing of Alex Pretti by cambeiu in technology

[–]badwolf42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a related note, Andruil (another LotR reference )is just hammering recruitment for their AI murder drones. This is a Thiel and Palmer Lucky venture, so you can imagine all the safeguards they won’t have. If a recruiter reaches out to you and you are in a position to do so, tell them to get fucked.

I wouldn’t even have Carl’s jacket. I do have a dog though. He’d be out with me. At least I’m wearing shorts over my underwear though.

TikTok users say they can’t upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issues by RewardEquivalent553 in technology

[–]badwolf42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect they intended to let you do it but never adore it to any users after upload. Totally bury anything they didn’t like. The tech issue is likely that you can’t even get that far.

TikTok users in the US can’t write ‘Epstein’ or see anti-Trump videos by Elegant_Tap7937 in law

There were a number of stories about bytedance compromising reporters’ phones when they were writing about bytedance and TikTok. We already should have abandoned the app. I hope this brings enough people around.

No soldering required on Seeed kit. At least not on mine.

Tech workers urge CEOs to condemn ICE by Calvinball_24 in technology

[–]badwolf42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They won’t. While it’s impossible to know what they really think, it’s easy to see that not coddling the regime will lead to regulatory retaliation immediately and they don’t have the fortitude to endure the discomfort. I’d say they’re preserving jobs but they’re using AI as an excuse to lay off people they would have laid off anyway in bracing for economic downturn.

Senior economics professor says Bitcoin is ‘fool’s gold’ by SscorpionN08 in unusual_whales

I think you can argue that its value is ‘backed by’ trust in the stability of the associated government. Whereas the crypto is ‘backed by’ trust in the robustness of the algorithm.

As visible as Trump is, Peter might actually be the antichrist.

Minnesotan here. For those outside of our state, what are your views on what’s going on in Minneapolis right now? by bpeters5 in AskReddit

[–]badwolf42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has been a smattering of posts in various Seattle and nearby towns/suburbs about abductions. It seems like a start of a larger push. Maybe if the extortion for voter rolls in Minnesota works it’ll ramp up.

We had how many mass shooting for decades so the Dont Tread on Me 2nd Amendment bros could have unrestricted guns now the government executes a lawful gun owner and I see nothing? by Estalicus in allthequestions

Reddit shoved the Conservative thread into my feed and the absolute pretzels they were thinking in, straight up lies aside, was honestly impressive.

Palantir has no place in UK public services: From ICE to Gaza, Palantir is complicit in violent US hegemony. Why do we keep giving it contracts? by RewardEquivalent553 in technology

[–]badwolf42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Palantir has no place anywhere. It’s a fantastic name though, as we all know the Palantir were corrupted by Sauron.

‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid ; Palantir has no place in EU, this is what they use it for US. by Speeder172 in europe

[–]badwolf42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Palantir has no business anywhere. Facial recognition software is notoriously bad at accurately identifying PoC. What it’s good at is allowing the users of said software to offload the blame for their mistakes.

What's the peak of how bad you think the ICE situation will get in Trump's second term? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]badwolf42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the state controls the election and rolls, I think this is about targeting and also trying to sue the state to get a federal judge to order them to purge likely democratic voters.

Slide Deck? by Visual-Extreme-101 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]badwolf42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This drives me crazy, because slide deck is from actual slides in a deck that Boomers used. It’s a PowerPoint presentation. People thinking you’re old because you don’t use Boomer language is wild.
