@thatnotaccurate@YourAnonNews@gregfischer69 Everything has gotten more expensive without change anyways my guy. The breakfast at McDonald's I used to get was only $6 and is now almost $12, and the minimum wage hasn't changed. Giving people purchasing power again is a good thing.
Stop calling it a culture war. It is a class war.
They use culture war to divide you all so they can operate freely. You're worried about a gay person, a trans person while these Epstein Class elites are robbing you all BLIND.
The US spent millions every year tracking and releasing sterile screwworm flies to keep the population controlled and prevent it spreading north of Central America, then Donald Trump and Elon Musk paid those people to resign under the DOGE efforts.
They did this.
@SouthVarangian@ptr_to_joel For those using AI and planning to cheat, yes. For me, at this point, if the place I applied to uses an AI assistant for the interview, I just don't bother to do it. I'll also let the org know that AI interviews do not reflect well on the company 🤷♂️
@SouthVarangian@ptr_to_joel Every technical interview I had the last time I seriously job searched (2022) was via live share from VSCode. I've applied to places lately just to keep my eye on the market and almost all of them have had an AI assistant do the interview. It's super demoralizing.
I do not want an ai shopping assistant I do not want ai search help i don’t want to see what my pictures would look like with ai slop I don’t want an ai DJ I don’t want ai anything please leave me the FUCK ALONE
@kmx4202@FactoryQuack@blockhim2026 Because instead of being sheltered by their fathers / husbands, they're learning about the realities of how the world operates and the history behind it. This in itself is depressing.
@factpostnews Senate committee overseeing still has power to intervene & launch an emergency hearing. Oil & gas lobbyists are framing as “energy security”, but its about profit & a dangerous precedent. Sign the petition to force leaders to stop this extinction decision.

Google Chrome is quietly downloading a roughly 4 GB AI model to many users’ computers without clear upfront consent.
The file, called weights.bin, is part of Google’s Gemini Nano on-device language model and lands in the browser’s user data folder under OptGuideOnDeviceModel.
It powers built-in AI tools such as “Help me write,” smarter tab suggestions, on-device scam detection, and page summarization. The download triggers automatically for devices meeting minimum hardware requirements, and Chrome often replaces the files if deleted.
While the model processes data locally, installation happens in the background with minimal notification.
The scale is noteworthy. Hundreds of millions or billions of installations add up to thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions globally from data transfer, even though each is a one-time event.
To prevent or remove it, go to chrome://flags, disable the entries for the optimization guide on-device model and Prompt API, restart the browser, and manually delete the folder.
