It can be two things.

It was to spark outrage, and to call out his racist Nazi Homies on the right.

Then he tried to walk it back by gaslighting.

“I wasn’t being political” said the man who was clearly being political.

TikTok doesn’t have any worse misinformation and disinformation issues than YouTube and Facebook. And The latest policy changes in Facebook indicate they’re going to go squarely into misinformation without any fact checking.

Disinformation is an excuse to ban the platform. Zuckerberg has been lobbying Congress for a long time to ban them while pushing his platform to be able to do exactly what he claims they’re doing.

There’s a lot of reasons to hate TikTok, but this disinformation stuff is nothing but red herring to get them banned because they’re competition.

Meanwhile go watch Youtubers vacationing in China, a lot fo the narrative we’re being fed is BS.

Not all of it mind you…

Pop!_OS is worth your first install.

Debian 12 is also hat in the ring worthy, nv support is fine.

COME ON VIRTUES, LET’S SIGNAL THIS CHODE.

Flush facebook it back down where it belongs.

They sound decent. A bit overpriced honestly by the time you add in the sub and enough speakers to setup a nice 7.1 you can buy something less fidgety and save a lot of money.

Their security is bad. They’re vulnerable to people screwing with them. If you’re on the network, you can ask their webservers to do whatever you want, there’s no auth. Their networking protocol is kind of bad. They need a LOT of ports open to communicate with each other. Their discovery is iffy. If you put one of the speakers on ethernet, they’ll mesh the rest of the speakers and use that one speaker to lower latency. but if that speaker reboots or updates, the rest of the speakers go nuts and dissapear for a while.

They don’t allow bluetooth playback. They don’t always show up for casting from Plex. They keep forgetting my wife’s apple ID. They don’t allow you to use a custom name for the alexa integration. The mic on the beam is so hot, that other alexas on the same floor will always defer to it, it’s very bad at hearing you over it’s own sound.

Conceptually the same as a royal “we”. Like when you tell a child “we” don’t do that, you don’t mean them and you you mean a larger group. So when I say locally I mean on my network. And when I say on my network I mean I expand my network to wherever I am via VPN. All my web searches and my AI calls get serviced via a docker server at home.

You can’t pry people away from their AI algorithms

Oh they’ll still fill positions it just means they’re going to contract.

They won’t freeze the assets until the company is officially barred from working here. They won’t just fuck around and blindly try to figure out what they’re doing, once they command Apple and Google to remove it from the App store, they’ll start freezing assets and stopping financial transactions. It’s just the nature of the beast.

I’m afraid it’s the royal local ;)

Llama and Open web UI or running in docker containers. My server is running tail scale, when any of my devices aren’t connected to my home Wi-Fi they light up tail scale.

I have run on Pinokio before without any problems. I think Pin and Jan are rather equivalent.

Right when S2 came out, If you needed to go in and screw with anything they would force you off of S1 into S2.

Right when the app released it was pretty bad. They broke the integrations. Speakers were having a lot of trouble being added. My SL ones were just appear and disappear randomly for a bit. It took them like a month to sort it out.

But 99% of my use cases are audio over ARC, and playing music in one kid’s room every night. The arc never stopped working for me on my beam 2.

When the sl-one dropped off I just used an echo for about a week. Plex was broken for two separate 1 weeks bands during which I also just used the echo.

I think it didn’t bother me all that much because I’m already presenting to home automation, and any of my cloud immigrations just explode every time a company farts.

I’d love some speakers that allow streaming without having to be cloud-controlled. I’m afraid I’d have to make them myself.

Ahh, well, we’ll see I suppose.

Youtube has backed down a lot, but they’re still paying their golden geese.

Spiffing britt has let a new recent video payouts out of the bag, a good multi-million hit view video still nets him around 20k.

Connecting to it isn’t hard, But they won’t be able to pay people, so the US content will just get starved out.

Printables, thingiverse et al should just remove benchy. Then they won’t have to worry about copies.

No judge, they just send a c&d to the hosting company who decides they have no interest in legal action.

The real action should be to take down the copy and benchy itself. No need to deal with that trash.

In for a penny and for a pound.

The notorious piracy database in question is Library Genesis.
