On one hand it’s exciting that Maduro is gone, on the other hand, I’m concerned for Venezuelan people because this may lead a bloody civil war.
Become ideology-free, be a centrist, a pragmatist.

Honestly, many friends who live in other towns I stay in touch with using messanger so theoretically I could disable Facebook and keep messenger but Facebook is more for former work colleagues that I occasionally say hi to. It would have been a lot easier if i could just have WhatsApp with timeline and marketplace.


I’d love to delete/suspend my Facebook but unfortunately it is the only conctact I have for many ex work colleagues and some friends.


Good, people need realise AI is not intelligent. It’s like a program that has memorised millions of books, some truths some fiction but doesnt really have the intellectual capacity to distinguish truth from fiction


That’s because Europe is gutless and doesn’t want to upset Trump.


It seems the whole point is to provoke Maduro to respond in order to escalate into a full blown conflict. Maduro needs to go but let’s not forget about Cuba, the immoral embargo on the poor Carribbean country and what did it achieve ? Nothing, the regime hasn’t changed. The reason is not drugs, the reason is oil. The trump administration thinks it owns Venezuelan oil and oil is all that Trump can think about.


Unfortunately the media are complicit in equating anti Zionism with being racist against the Jews. They call this anti-semitism even though the origin of this word is from the right wing Jew haters themselves in order to make their hate of the Jews more palatable to the general populace. The right wingers always need somebody to hate, it used to be the blacks, then the Jews , then the Asians and now it’s the gays and the Muslims.
Israel has certainly the right to exist, but so do the Palestinians in their state. I don’t have blind folds, I see there are many radical Muslims who hate Jews and westerners but in order to create peace, the west cannot simply equate every protest against the actions of Israel with hating Jews. It’s wrong, it’s immoral and it holds us back.


I’ve committed a substantial amount into copper in my retirement account.
As far as spare cash, I’m just investing it into my 2 houses.


With Shiller PE at 40x, only fools are investing into the market right now. History will be the judge again in due time. It’s a repeat of the 1920s.


In my opinion, those AI checker tools are useless because they generate a huge amount of AI detection. Often times they are used for shortening, rewriting certain paragraphs, and also they are helpful to people who don’t have english as first language.AI is a very good language tool.
I agree with everyone else. The only thing that A(Non)I is good for is writing bullshit and making it sound intelligent, however deep inside there is no intelligence but all artificial. It’s semi useful for background research because of its ability to index huge amounts of data but ultimately everything it makes has to be verified by a human.
I’m convinced he does this shit just because he can. No logic just a show of power. Alternatively he’s preparing to start a war. Im already looking forward to post-trump normalisation in 3.5 years.


You’ve put a whole lot of words in my mouth I didn’t say. I just don’t see it “necessary” as a bad thing, you can still install apps via side loading, but now you can feel comfortable that if you install an app that steals all your passwords you can actually point a finger at who did it and hold them to account. Not that I wish that on anyone.


I’m not a lawyer , but common sense dictates if you are going to make an app that’s possibly illegal, you won’t do it unless you are satisfied that it is legal. As far as comparing the sheltering of Jews illegally who were facing extermination and people who entered a country illegally is like saying I broke all the speed limit rules to attend an exam because I saw a person doing the same for a valid emergency. I’m not saying what Trump is doing is right at all, it’s reprehensible, but don’t try to equate it with the attempt to delete Jews from existence. It’s absolutely fucking ridiculous .


Owning device is not the same as owning the right to the software that runs on it. Google is well within their rights to say if you want to code on android, show us your ID, it’s not your ethical right to do as you wish with someone else’s software. There may or may not be a valid reason (ie. Too many suspicious apps that have no ownership). You need a license to drive on a public road owned by government , you need a license to code on Google’s Android . I can open up a restaurant that serves no alcohol and request people for ID when they walk in because it’s my right. No law that says you show me your ID but there’s also no law that says I have to let you in.


If the ICE app is breaking the law, and ICE itself is breaking the law, two wrongs don’t make 1 right. There are legal ways to protest.
Like I said, earlier if you aren’t breaking the law then if someone asks you to ID yourself , what’s your fear? Loss of privacy?
You can’t use privacy to hide the act of breaking a law.
Unless you’re a developer it doesn’t affect you anyway, you can still sideload apps. You just can’t use a public highway like the internet to break the law and expect nothing to happen. I know it’s not what any of you want to hear.


I grew up in Czechoslovakia and Australia, more Australia really. There might be a genuine reason why google is doing it or not. Most things require an identity these days. You cant drive without an identity , you can’t purchase alcohol without an one, of open a bank account. Where does your privacy feeling stand there I suppose you don’t have any of that? I’m actually amazed with so much fraud on the internet governments don’t require an ID to open a browser on your PC. Isn’t internet like a network of highways really ?


I don’t know about America or to be honest at all what ICE tracker does, but if I was to assume that it somehow tracks government agents where they go, there might be laws against that.


Doesn’t upset me, why? Because it’s not about controlling what app I install, but who wrote the app I might install. If my understanding is not correct of this change , I’m happy to be shown I’m wrong.
Never been a fan of Musk even before his Sieg Heil moment during the elections but this does nicely top it off. Will there ever be an investigation into all these wealthy men who abused young women? Probably not. Let’s not kid our selves though, wealthy were never bound by laws, not now and not in the past thousands of years
