"AI chatbots… Assemble! (some suggestions)

The built in systems are already good for most people. If you want an easy next step, try installing RethinkDNS. It’s a top rate firewall AND allows hosts blocking. There are levels to using this tool, but even the basic setup is good. Take your time to learn it after that.

From Apple’s perspective, they struggle with the mighty burden of tax breaks and cheap overseas labour against a backdrop of market dominance and some of the largest profit margins per device. It is outrageous of the unions to think that US workers could steal even an inconceivably small proportion of that fat profit for working. … /Britsh Sarcasm.

So say US ‘officials’. They expected the ceasefire to lead to immediate clearing of mines placed along shipping routes through the straights.

I think these officials are full of shit. NYT current level of reporting scrutiny is also shit.

They’re right.

Living in Britain, I have converts and so many just think that Trump is a funny sideshow over there.

Here in the UK we can be arrested (again) for saying that.

Bye! These investments are typically hype about job numbers (temporary and show aggregate jobs created, however transient, tax avoidance, sorry tax advantages, covered by adding to national debt, then ongoing low numbers of.staff retained, whilst using all our resources.

If only we could convince the other European nations to move to FOSS. This should allow greater funding, development, software diversity and efficiency.

Not for me, unfortunately. My saddle is too thin and my willy too small. 🖖🤣

I intuitively think from the title that this might be helpful but not exactly sure what it does (don’t understand code).

I didn’t know this, but then again, I am a default Android user.

My initial thought is that if you buy or recently bought an Apple device, here in the UK, you could probably seek a refund under the current legislation. (I’m not a lawyer).

You misread my post to your own liking and make wild assumptions about me too. Just on the point of the Americans that I know as normal, they are. Ones I don’t know have been, horrendous, including an older Texas lady at Orlando airport who homed in on me, as the only brown person in a group of white people, to talk about the dangers of Islam. My American cousin used his privilege to challenge her. Does that help you to recalibratevor do you still have a problem?

Gotta love this Philomena.

Oh no, one of the companies so huge and expansive that they are effectively beyond the reach of litigation jurisdiction. They also know how little they’ll end up paying.

Let’s consider the thieves arithmetic. Make millions if not billions from the scraping. Pay the occasional relatively paltry fine. Not one meaningful individual to be prosecuted…

Please can we now change the laws on taxation and fines?

Europe is currently considering the big four IT companies for their current failures o to meet European legislation, despite their carefully negotiated run in and preparation period.

We need the financial equivalent of cricket bats, hockey sticks, hell, even pitchforks at this time. Let me be the first to vote for Pitchforks!

These are the things that are believed (by this administration) to have no effect on anyone. They throw out the items that are considered costly as well as those which create a net gain and reduced economic risk exposure for the country.

In entirely unrelated news, funding for the war in Iran and for ICE continues to ramp up… (British sarcasm)

ICE is an extraordinary cost to the public purse.

It is a rarity indeed to see any actual evidence before arrest and detainment.

ICE is normalizing street murders.

Any evidence of societal benefit is highly dubious at best.

As a non-American, does this seem about right?

We all have to start somewhere…

I’m too old to be childish, but the flipping wig tickled me too much.
