Google Maps in Android Auto does it, but I think they use Waze data.

Makes sense given that AI has been trained on all the prejudiced blatherings of humanity so far, and it just tries to imitate what it has seen. Yet it’s being used to make decisions as if it’s some wise oracle.

Yes, “reduce, reuse, recycle” in that order. It is better to sell or give away an old PC instead of just sending it for recycling or even landfill.

The Linux experience has changed quite a lot over the years. You’re unlikely to have trouble getting your computer to work with it now.

You’ll be more vulnerable to malware because it won’t be patched against newly discovered exploits.

They expect single Americans everywhere to be celibate. Except themselves, because that’s different.

All that time and money invested in agent Krasnov is really paying off.

More likely someone he didn’t like came from Norfolk VA or Norfolk MA or Norfolk NE, or Norfolk in England or Canada, and Trump’s team (or the LLM they used to write the document) doesn’t know the difference.

No, I’m on Fastmail. It’s full-featured and has a slick web UI, but it’s not as good for privacy as Tuta, Proton, etc. Also, although Fastmail is Australian they apparently host their servers in the USA.

My email provider will auto-generate aliases with no limit, and I also subscribe to Mozilla Firefox Relay, which allows me to invent email addresses on the fly and have them relay emails to my inbox. The advantage of the Firefox Relay is that it isn’t tied to the email provider so if I switch provider the aliases can still work.

Kids in the 1960s were the same, and the USA still sent them off to get killed, maimed, and traumatized for the rest of their lives.

That standard should still deal with plenty of the fascists, if consistently applied. Only the decent, honest, law-abiding fascists will slip through.

If you’re in the USA don’t you dare say abducting medics, handcuffing them, executing them and dumping their bodies in a mass grave is bad, or you’ll be abducted, tortured and disappeared to permanent prison in a random country. This is called free speech.

Canadian mining companies are some of the most ruthless, oppressive and damaging organizations in the world. It’s not surprising that they’re entirely willing to work with the fascists.

Cruelty and death to poor people and more pandemics for everyone! The American way.

In Windows, Foobar2000 does easy audio file conversions, once you have installed the relevant codecs.

The old Republican projection at work again.

I hope you’re right, but I’m not convinced we can draw conclusions yet. Starmer’s government is not popular and while Farage has been a joke at home among many, he never drops out of the picture because he has a lot of international far-right support and consequently a lot of money. Brexit was obviously stupid and happened; giving Farage power would be similarly stupid and I’m not sure it couldn’t still happen. In Germany the AfD is still too strong, though not quite as strong as it had hoped. In Canada I hope people have finally seen through Poilievre, but again Canada underestimates the Trumpist/convoy/PP people at its peril, and while Carney is sending a lot of good messages the kind of liiberalism he represents has not traditionally done well in holding off the fascists.

Even better, the whole HP printer is optional.

Hungary isn’t the only fascist country in the EU right now. And several have been teetering on the brink for a while.
