I'll stop posting on X from here on until they remove this feature (no idea if they intend to).
The privacy implications of this action are one thing but the INTENDED trend to more and more discrimination on the platform makes X unsupportable/unusable for me.
I don't really like where all of this is going. It's not like X didn't already have a problem with discrimination based on nationality, colour, sexual orientation... before they made this change.
LeGate, one of the biggest virtue signallers on this platform retweeted a racist post by Polymarket and Kyle Kulinski posted a racist meme. Even the US progressive accounts are full send into posting discriminatory content now thanks to Elon and Bier. Fuck this shit.
It's hard to imagine that a company that sells a device like the steam deck for $320, with estimated production costs around $300, would price the cabecube at more than $600.

I don't buy this at all btw. You can literally get a more powerful, fully assembled PC at Micro Center that only contains expensive consumer parts (instead of cost-optimized custom parts like Valve uses) and it only costs $650.
So if the gabecube is >$600 it's dead in the water.
Linus Tech Tips says he's "disappointed" the upcoming Steam Machine may not be priced like a console
"[Valve] asked what I meant by console price, and I said $500. Nobody said anything, but the energy in the room wasn’t great"
The good thing is, even if they price it at $750, chances are good they'll do steam sales with it (like they do with the steam deck), so we might get it for 20% off couple times a year when it's on sale.

What’s the most you would pay for a Steam Machine? There isn’t really anything like it out so I’m curious to hear what people think. If it’s indeed priced more like a similar PC ($700 to $800) is that too much?
"you can now look to the President of the United States [...] to issue a statement"
Official statement should come any minute now. 🤣
Problem is she's discrediting valid concerns by spouting lies just for clout & money, harming the conservative movement

Our show will be off air this week.
As an update, both the White House and our counterterrorism agencies have confirmed receipt of what I reported publicly: Emmanuel Macron attempted to organize my assassination, per a source close to the first couple.
Also, I will again state that the French legionnaires were involved in Charlie Kirk’s assassination but they did not act alone.
For all of you who doubted my claims, you can now look to the President of the United States and our intelligence communities to issue a statement to confirm whether I am telling the truth.
After reviewing everything Charlie Kirk has ever said about Macron’s France, I find Candace’s info about French involvement in his death entirely plausible.
Charlie even called for 300% tariffs on France until the charges against me were dropped: https://t.co/6JLy6PzNqS 🙏
NEW: Macron explained that once a peace agreement is signed—not during the war—there would be “reassurance forces” deployed away from the front lines, in places like Kyiv or Odesa.
These would include British, French, and Turkish soldiers, whose role would be to train Ukrainian forces and help provide security, similar to how NATO countries already support states on the Alliance’s eastern flank.
He emphasized that this would be done through an intergovernmental coalition, not NATO, with around twenty countries prepared to contribute on land, at sea, or in the air.
Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race.
It's the old Cold War trick of using a war economy mindset to force govt into investing in your company & guaranteeing you against loss, while you steamroll the rights of the populace.
Der Landtag in BadenWürttemberg winkt das Palantir-Gesetz durch!
CDU, FDP, fast alle Grünen und auch Teile der AfD stimmen dafür!
Was heißt das konkret?
➟ Die Polizei darf künftig Daten von Bürgern an US-Konzerne weitergeben
➟ Diese Daten dürfen fürs KITraining genutzt werden
➟ Gotham verknüpft öffentliche und nicht-öffentliche Infos automatisiert
➟ Tür und Tor offen für massenhafte Überwachung
Wirklich irre: Dieselben Parteien, die sonst Datenschutz predigen, geben jetzt grünes Licht für ein System, das intransparent Daten analysiert und verknüpft; powered by einem der mächtigsten Überwachungs-Player der Welt
Für allem die das Unternehmen nicht kennen; Palantir ist ein US-Überwachungskonzern, der mit geheimdienstnaher Vergangenheit und undurchsichtiger Datenauswertung weltweit für seine enge Zusammenarbeit mit Behörden und Militärs kritisiert wird.
Es ist der Wahnsinn wie kaputt das ist:
Ich lese in den sozialen Medien von linksliberalen Journalisten, dass der Friedensplan vor allem
so furchtbar sei, da er freie Wahlen und damit eine Aufhebung des Kriegsrechts vorsehen würde und junge Ukrainer sich dann endgültig dem Frontdienst entziehen würden. Ich wiederhole meine Frage! Warum meldet Ihr Euch dann nicht freiwillig? Wie kann man so zynisch sein?
Had a similar theory when i heard of it, not a hack, but rather a request of Western governments. Same like this age verification nonsense on European X.
My tinfoil hat theory is that X got hacked, and shipping this 'feature' was just a clever way to preemptively get ahead of an upcoming data leak
Leaking your data themselves as an 'official' feature softens the reputational blow when hackers eventually dump this data anyway
NOW - DOE Secretary Chris Wright says Trump's Genesis Mission is "an all-in national effort to take the power of AI and pair it with the 40,000 outstanding scientists and engineers at our national labs."
I watched a couple streams of these US conservative pundits recently and they are all just really horrible, no exception: Kelly, Owens, Shapiro, Walsh, Loomer... massive waste of time.
Megyn Kelly: "There is not a single woman who said, 'Yes, I was trafficked by Epstein to Trump.' There's one who says Trump walked into a house with Epstein and allegedly fondled her upon meeting her. Okay? That's the best they have so far."
Today our delegation returned from Geneva after negotiations with the American side and European partners. Now the list of necessary steps to end the war can become doable. As of now, after Geneva, there are fewer points – no longer 28 – and many of the right elements have been taken into account in this framework.
There is still work for all of us to do together to finalize the document, and we must do everything with dignity. We appreciate that most of the world is ready to help us and that the American side is approaching this constructively. Practically the entire day yesterday was filled with meetings – and it was challenging, extremely thorough work.
Our team has reported on the new draft of steps, and this is indeed the right approach – I will discuss the sensitive issues with President Trump. Ukraine will never be an obstacle to peace – this is our principle, a shared principle, and millions of Ukrainians are counting on, and deserve, a dignified peace. We will do everything for this, and we are ready to work as quickly as possible.
We also understand how many interests surround Ukraine – and above all, there is the interest from Russia to derail this opportunity for an agreement and to prolong the war. We can see which interests are intertwined, and who is trying really hard to weaken our position – Ukraine’s position – spreading disinformation, intimidating our people… We are countering every such attempt to derail the end of the war.
Constructive work with partners is essential to us. We are safeguarding Ukraine’s interests and protecting Ukrainians – this is our key negotiating framework. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and does everything to ensure Ukraine succeeds.
Einfach immer nur Unsinn den er ablässt. Kompletter hanebüchener Quatsch.
"Die russische Seite muss jetzt an den Verhandlungstisch kommen."
Russen und Amerikaner haben gerade erst verhandelt, die Europäer sind die Verhandlungsunwilligen.
All das hier 👇 wäre i.Ü. eigentlich Aufgabe der EU nicht Aufgabe der Amerikaner. Aber da die Europäer keinerlei Verantwortung übernehmen, ohne Interesse an einem Kriegesende oder Diplomatie, muss Rubio das nun machen. Die EU ist weltweit eine Lachnummer.
https://t.co/ooJptfu07E
Rubio: "We made a tremendous amount of progress today."
The Trump admin's strategy appears to be building an unstoppable sense of momentum towards a final deal.
With enough momentum, the speedbumps in Brussels will get scraped right off the road.
