In other words… recruiting from MAGA?

That’s a good way to start my work day then because I’m constantly moving from one fire to another.

I get why you shouldn’t use it before bed but why not after waking up? If it keeps you awake shouldn’t it help you wake up?

It’s crazy how many examples there are too, and they aren’t conspiracy theories, just naked corruption. If you bring this up to a MAGA cultist, they say things like “But Biden was the most corrupt president in history”, and then they can’t provide a single coherent example. Sad.

This meeting most likely benefits Trump more than Mamdani. This gives Trump an opportunity to sweep the vile racism of the final weeks of the campaign under the rug, and lets him appear to be concerned about the working class and affordability.

I’m sure Mamdani and his team understood this but are willing to butter him up so that Trump doesn’t send ICE and the national guard into NYC.

Most of this is just trying to justify the bubble by trying to make people think that “AI” is useful.

Any non-smart TVs you would recommend? And what would be your preferred streaming device?

I think a good balance would be a TV that only supports casting either with Chromecast or AirPlay or something similar. The last Chromecast I bought couldn’t even keep up with 4k streaming but 4k streaming works fine on my smart TV.

I do have a Steam controller which would probably be a suitable replacement.

Is there a different controller that works better for you?

I already decided to stop buying Samsung TVs when they started showing ads in the menus.

I imagine other consumers will start to make similar choices with their appliances.

Whatever exec thought this was a good idea probably already got a huge bonus and will move on to ruin another company’s products before the impact to their bottom line is felt.

I’m considering Bazzite for a Win 10 machine that I only use to play Steam games. Really hoping that it “just works” for most of my library.

Could I consider any game that is Steam Deck Verified will work fine? Am I likely to run into a ton of issues? I game exclusively with a wireless XBone controller.

For me what clued me in is how much more muscle she has than the typical playground mom.

Isn’t there some kind of sketchy corporate structure they could use to skirt this if they actually cared about data sovereignty?

“Sorry Feds, this data is actually held by Microsoft EU and not Microsoft”.

Or do they only do that sketchy shit for dodging taxes and protecting people’s data is a bridge too far?

I’ve never been happy with the performance of my gaming PC for the cost, always seems like it should perform better, but the real reason I don’t buy consoles is because I want to be able to upgrade my hardware but still play my old games.

I’m sure they have plenty of employees we don’t see who aren’t journalists.

In addition to the people we DO see who also aren’t journalists.

It’s this attitude that makes it a Republican shutdown.

Elections have consequences, Republicans did NOT get the 60 votes they need. They NEED to offer something to get 9 Democrats to vote with them.

By saying they aren’t willing to negotiate, THEY are shitting down the government.

When they say “Trump derangement syndrome” it always makes me think of the deranged shit that Trump does. Like trying to start wars with Iran and Venezuela and then practically demanding the Nobel peace prize.

In both cases, no one is taking our jobs. The ruling class is using both immigrants and AI to suppress our wages.

I think there’s an argument that they’ve been slowly committing one since 1948 or even prior, but things have accelerated recently and the world seems to actually be aware of it now.

Did it actually leak?
