I wonder if it’s related to all the people migrating from California after covid? Or maybe those people were super red and drawn to Texas because of it.

That’s true, it’s not as bad as I was originally thinking. However, there’s probably a reason traditional power plants never use jet engines for power production. According to this article, “But repurposed aircraft turbines tend to be less efficient and more polluting than engines designed for conventional gas-burning plants.”
Some crypto was designed to be useful, and some was designed to be an investment scam. But everyone is investing in all crypto so none of it makes sense.

Oh I looked it up and you’re right that future crimes can’t be pardoned. It doesn’t help that the media talks about preemptive pardons like they are for future crimes, when it really only means crimes that have been committed but no charges have been filed yet. https://northernkentuckylawreview.com/blog/preemptive-pardons-explained-understanding-president-bidens-family-pardons

AI can make decisions and micromanage. What’s stopping the higher ups from replacing lower management now?

Hadn’t heard of immich, I already run a plex server so shouldn’t be too bad to set up. That just leaves the big problem of switching all my existing accounts off gmail.

I’m sure it’s a tactic to make the schools allow AI, but I hope they can resist. Google does not need a stranglehold on every person in every market. Google search has gotten worse anyway, so even duck duck go would be fine. Maybe even use this as an opportunity to teach kids about data privacy.

Wow this can’t be efficient. Jet engines are primarily designed to produce thrust. But looks like Musk got special permission from the state to pollute more, so all’s good!

Ugh it’s going to be a pain to stop using Google, but it’s time. Long gone are the days of “don’t be evil”

Yes!! I think Microsoft wants the same thing since that’s when support for windows 10 ends.

That, plus the fact that they hand over data to cops with no warrant, and now this… I made a Tuta account until I can figure out self hosted email. Proton was supposes to be the good version of Google.

Apple says the detection is done on-device, but it’s closed source and I can’t think of a way to test it so I wouldn’t trust it
Plus it would open the door for even more tracking.
