https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System1 at least as a stopgap, a small-ish adtech company that may or may not be privacy focused (their claim) is still better than Google. But yeah.

Just to see the clear message in app metrics is a good thing though.

Wow, that’s a wild ride. Thanks for the deets.

Just about every map works fine these days. Google tends to route the inefficient routes once you learn your city. Ignoring it tends to be faster, then at that point, you don’t “need” map apps at all.

Yes. Although the datacenters will likely kill themselves when the bubble pops. Still good to fight just the same and keep the pressure on. These loons will still have access to massive amounts of water and power even when the datacenters fail.

You probably mean Axon, and they are far older, they created the Taser.

He isn’t distracting. His mind is just gone.

That is likely exactly what that propaganda piece is for. “Don’t drink water, it’s silly anyway!”

Coupled with pushing sales of beverages for money.

I figure when the datacenter bubble bursts, the tech companies will keep consuming the same amounts of water and just start selling it.

Gotta find some way to the plot of The Water Knife. (Book has gas pumps that sell water, water meters next to sinks and showers, etc.)

100% it will happen. You know the process is broken, however, when Taco Bell is now the beacon of food safety.

They just want in on it.

That would suggest intelligence.

It’s so weird how Apple basically explicitly said, “yeah so you can write software for it if you want, we won’t stop you. Also, we will obfuscate everything and provide no documentation.” So it is a very soft fuck you that should likely prevent lawsuits.

I miss Apple, the company that gave you schematics and programming instructions for their computers. Wonder whatever happened to them.

They’re also groomed as children - the decision almost always made by their parents before they’re old enough to decide if they actually want to.

It’s so messed up that some states legally allow merchants to charge a “credit card fee”. Providers of services much like the above can charge if it’s a debit, credit, etc. even if they both say “Visa” on them. The concept of money in the US is so obfuscated now.

To directly quote a painted piece of wood in a pile of rubble on the side of the road after a big flood in Colorado in 2013: Fuck Allstate.

The system is set up so that people are exhausted just trying to survive. It’s not willpower. The US is structured to eat its’ humans alive.

As many as necessary to misdirect taxpayer money to the rich.

The actual threat is hyperscale datacenters.

As for this, just a grift to find a way to funnel more money to his buddies so they don’t have to pay to fix their systems and/or pocket money from taxpayers.

Every one of these is always a grift.

Just make sure to check your dirt first. So many properties use(d) nasty chemicals to make “pretty” lawns.

It’s been difficult to buy clothing that’s not made of plastic since the pandemic. So many are synthetic or synthetic blend now. Commoner clothing to be clear. Not some rich person’s bespoke alpaca sweater hand-crocheted off the back of said alpaca as it grew up.

The amount of high-ranking spam reviews for that program is astounding.

It looks like Google hijacked their own project “Google Package Verifier” that has been dormant in the Play Store since 2012, and hadn’t been touched in 13 years until 2025.

Google is no better than the spammers this process purports to protect against.
