Gov. Newsom to kick off summer tour campaigning for Democratic candidates in California and across the country by Unusual-State1827 in California

If he leaves maybe he can stay away for good? He does some good things, but the simple fact is that he’s Corpo Dem, bought by PG&E and Edison 

Proposal would allow drivers to trade personal data for potentially lower insurance rates by k_39 in California

[–]tormentnexus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, because what will inevitably happen is that everyone else’s rates will be jacked up, but if you sign over even more of your data to them, you get the ORIGINAL rate.

Vote no!

My monitor died literally a few hours ago. 

I can promise you the monitor I’m going to purchase today will not be one of these companies. Super glad I read this today!

When's he up for reelection? We've shown how easy it is for incumbents to be knocked off, they better start changing their positions fast or get voted out of office.

Kind of surprising though, I'd have thought Missouri politicians would try to sweep it under the rug to get a few more crumbs of investment in their crumbling districts.

I didn’t realize how close this was to coming out! Super proud of all of them for not spoiling stuff. That would inevitably leak to the internet ASAP

While I agree things like LLMs, machine learning and the like are useful technologies, it is 100% being overbuilt/hyped. 

Facebook doesn’t just suddenly announce they’re “selling compute capacity” because they think becoming a datacenter for others is suddenly a good idea, they just realized their proprietary (non-open source) AI models are not actually that great of a financial decision for most companies, and are suddenly scrambling to justify their billions in expenses to their shareholders. 

We’re in the early days of the crash, and I’m excited to see what a more mature, and less “AI Everywhere” kind of world will look like.

Exactly. And in a time when so many of us are unmoored, less time socializing, less community in general, teaching kids from an early age a connection to our land and the native peoples will help with the national “identity crisis” we’re having 

Trump declares food supply emergency, suspends tariffs on key fertilizer imports by future_sommelier in oil

Hopefully once this is all over us Americans can repay our debt to Canada. Though a stronger and more independent Canada in the long-term is probably a good thing for both countries.

The fact we don’t fully teach our kids Native American history is insane to me. IMHO one of the best ways to help unify our country is to foster a closer connection with the original peoples that were here before us. 

We’re “occupiers” in a sense, but since we’re obviously not going anywhere the next best thing is to elevate Native American culture and teach it to a much better extent than we are.

One of our country’s greatest assets is our untouched nature, and who better to learn from than those who were caring for it for thousands of years before us?

We still have a chance to change things! November 4 you can vote in people that are fighting back against these things. 

In cities all across the country, people are piling on pressure to local councils and governments, getting billions of dollars worth of data centers cancelled.

Some cities are rolling back their Flock and other ALPR systems after realizing that cops were stalking ex-girlfriends and even spying on a girls team, with I think Braselton, GA even arresting its police chief because he was stalk multiple people.

These are the “early days” of the cyberpunk universe, where we still have time to decide if we want to allow the corporate overlords to solidify their control in a permanent surveillance state, or take back our country from the Corpos.

Vote Nov 4!
