It's too late. All they are doing is blocking the hosted model which is for low end consumers. The full model is open source and can be run by anyone in-house on their own hardware. If you don't mind the low speed it's as cheap as 2 second hand server blades off eBay (<$2000). You just need the ram. If you want speed then the whole model can run on about 5 A100 GPUs or about a dozen 3090s for a total cost of less than 1 Porsche 911. Compare that to the millions big business pays for OpenAI. It's a no brainer upfront investment and the whole thing can be setup in a weekend by a single skilled engineer. Best part - no data ever leaves your company network. That's the real reason for all the crazy cope right now - without people sending data to openai where is it supposed to get the data to train it's models? Or steal all your corporate IP? Because for all the screaming China China China the US is the biggest data harvester in the world and all big tech relies on taking YOUR data to make ITS money.

That and Altmann just got fucked. Hard. And the whole of wall street was all hard and stroking each other making big plans for how to milk the AI sector for $$$ on the notion that you need to have billions to be able to run this shit yourself.

Man-made Climate Change through CO2 production is a myth created to make us all poorer colder and less free.
The wind turbines are an expensive waste of money
The solar panels are an expensive waste of money.
Ed Miliband and his Conservative predecessors have destroyed our industrial base and taxed us based on pseudo science.
Our children are still being taught this nonsense in schools and universities. It’s brain washing not education.
It has to stop before our country and people are damaged further.

@MariusReinecker @LundukeJournal Techies got psyopped hard in the late 2000’s and 2010’s to be complete degenerates. Some of us older ones were immune, many younger ones got one-shotted. I watched it happen.

In 2019 Edward Snowden said this about WhatsApp:

“The problem with applications like WhatsApp is, it was actually designed to have very strong encryption, just the same as the gold standard today which would be the signal messenger or the wire messenger, but then it was bought by Facebook because it was so good, and now Facebook is quite aggressively reducing the security of WhatsApp about once a quarter, and they’re trying to do it as quietly as possible, so a messenger that the people are comfortable using now is actually a danger to you.”

When Snowden speaks, you listen!

Truth is now considered a right-wing conspiracy.

That’s the chilling line from Melanie Phillips that stopped me in my tracks.

She explains how we’ve reached a point where simply stating observable reality — whether it’s basic biology defining a woman or pushing back against blanket accusations that all white people are inherently bad — gets you branded as evil. Not wrong. Evil. Therefore you must be silenced, cancelled, or erased. No debate. No evidence allowed.

She calls it cultural totalitarianism: a Manichean worldview where one ideology claims a monopoly on goodness, progress, and reason itself. Dissent isn’t argued with — it’s treated as a moral threat that has to be removed.

The deepest irony? In an era that smugly ditched religion in the name of superior rationality, we’ve ended up rejecting reason, evidence, and open inquiry altogether. We’re so “rational” we’ve dispensed with the very tools of rationality.

It doesn’t add up.

Her take has me wondering how we got here — and how quickly disagreement turned into moral excommunication.

Anyone else seeing this pattern play out in conversations lately? Where have you felt truth itself become off-limits?

These files are a BOMBSHELL.

Thanks to the @JudiciaryGOP, we now have proof that the EU has been actively censoring legal content that goes against their agenda—and that they interfered in at least 8 European elections, including the Dutch elections of 2023 and 2025, by meeting with social media platforms to pressure them to censor political speech in the days before the vote.

Leading up to the Dutch elections of 2023 the EU commission even made the then Dutch Interior Ministry @hugodejonge a "trusted flagger" entitled to make priority censorship requests under the DSA.

What kind of political speech did they want to censor, you ask?

- “Populist rhetoric”
- “Anti-government/anti-EU content”
- “Anti-elite” content
- “Political satire”
- “Anti-migrant and Islamophobic content”
- “Anti-refugee content/anti-immigrant sentiment”
- “Anti-LGBTQI content”
- “Meme subculture”

In other words, anything that goes against their agenda, anything remotely right-wing or conservative, and anything pertaining to the disastrous migrant situation we have here in Europe.

And guess what the only platform was that did not cooperate? @X, of course. The same platform that the EU is fining for 120 million euros under the DSA and the same platform that is currently having its offices raided in France.

This is the type of stuff over which governments should resign and institutions like the EU should fall. Democracy is dead.

Abolish the EU! Now!

Tony Blair whose first priority when elected in 1997 was to remove the Death Penalty from the Treason Act. He told you that you had to take experimental ‘vaccines’ that didn’t work. He says you must have Digital ID. He knows technology is as a way to enslave you for his masters.

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.

One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.

But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.

Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.

The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.

The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.

Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.

Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.
