I don't think most of them were duped. It's been exceptionally obvious for years. I mean I guess some of them are dumb enough not to realize, but most are just taking advantage of the money and power.

Termius

Not just Android, I want a cross-platform ssh client that shares keys. Termius is probably overkill for that, but I haven't found anything else that works on Linux and Android. The real issue that made me stop paying for it is that for rpm based Linux I have to use the snap version and snap is buggy as heck with multitasking.

I mean arms dealers need to sell weapons, but better if it doesn't draw them in themselves, so genocides are better than two sided wars. And the primary export of the US is weapons, so...

But OpenAI not being allowed to use the content for free means they are being prevented from making a profit, whereas the Internet Archive is giving away the stuff for free and taking away the right of the authors to profit. /s

Disclaimer: this is the argument that OpenAI is using currently, not my opinion.

Better than the gas that Russia is using illegally that causes serious pain and often takes a long time to die painfully from.

Point isn't whether it's right or not. The point is that once the supreme court rules, there's no "higher" court to take it to. The lower courts can't rule differently on something explicitly ruled on already, and they can't "overrule" the supreme court since they are explicitly "under" them. So regardless of what Starlink says, they aren't going to change that, at least not any time soon. And X will either be dead, irrelevant, or significantly modified by the time the court changes enough to get them to change their decision.

Yeah, they're supposed to serve the people who bought the politicians. /s

It absolutely should be talked about. All events in all of the world should be talked about as long as it involves factual information, which can sometimes be hard to come by these days . It's only extremists trying to create false narratives who would say otherwise. And mostly only because they don't want you telling the people they control the truth or they're so dependent using the lie to their advantage that even they don't want to know the truth.

Many times. It has been a fairly common theme. My dreams that I remember tend to be extreme emotional dreams. Either nightmares that I commonly had as a kid. Falling in love which was especially common as a teenager. And yeah, the extreme heartbreak is real. Music, which is connected closely to emotions for me and often manifests as beautiful symphonies that I wish I could immediately write down because damn I could probably make money off that s***. Flying or being under water and not drowning and the weight being lifted and the emotion of freedom tied to those. Etc.

Unfortunately, the US is now fully reliant on SpaceX for access to space now that they decided to rely on corporate spacecraft rather than building our own and Boeing has proven themselves unreliable since that change was made, and now that they finally have a craft they ended up stranding astronauts on the space station until SpaceX can rescue them due to defects. Plus we can't use Russia like we did after the shuttle program ended but corporate space travel wasn't there yet. And SpaceX isn't publicly traded to where it might be possible that enough investors could pressure Musk to cave.

So I doubt anything will come of it. Brazil will rattle their sabers. Musk will stand his ground, and the US will stay on Musk's side while pretending as much as possible to be staying out of it.

Sounds like he's setting up a defense as it being an official presidential act and thus him being immune from prosecution based on the blanket immunity that SCOTUS recently gave to presidents. So he'll admit to it, be immune, and let everyone else get prosecuted for knowingly following him.

The one positive to wearing contacts all the time is that my eyes are mostly protected from UV. I always think how cool that is even if I still avoid looking directly at UV lights out of caution.
