WTF is this???

That shot is from Glyfada, South of Athens along the coast.

Sorry missed this, been mostly on Piefed the last week or so.

Found one in one of my pix that I didn’t even see!

In NO way defending that orange shitstain, but people keep reporting he lifted oil sanctions on Russia (and Iran).

This is not true: he only said it was ok to buy the dark fleet’s barrels that are at sea now. Fun fact, no one is actually doing this that wasn’t already buying from the dark fleet (well, technically from the people who hire the dark feet).

I know exactly where this happened, and yes they are all kinds of stupid there.

Found the Gibsonian.

Lovely. Next you’re going to tell me Proton mail went evil. (Thanks for the explanation though! I’ll have a look at Kagi).

What happened to magicearth? I haven’t used it much, just one of the google alternatives in my “maps” folder.

All true, but it generally shows you search results in a reasonable order and including reliable sources. Like a fine-tuner for Google that doesn’t feed them your data. At least not that we know of…

Thanks I was just about to look it up.

I’m a C1 Dutch speaker (barely, technically) and before I understood how evil LLMs are, I played around with some of them to have them tweak things I wrote in Dutch into different styles. It was pretty eye opening.

I had to very, very grudgingly but rightfully apologize to one of my traders for using an LLM to translate some Vietnamese financial accounts to English. I read to fast and missed the part where he said he used it for translation. I still worry the actual financial ratios are off, so I’ll have my other guy do that, but yeah, ok I hate these things but they are good at translation.

Damn that was good - did you write it yourself?

Good write up, thank you for the context.

Thanks for the update!

Not challenging you, but do you have evidence that’s easy for you to get to? I am considering their mail service. Thanks!

Not really. Their editorial board and page are 100% on board with him.

However, the WSJ still does actual reporting, and it’s usually fairly good/accurate. Just don’t read the editorials, ever.

Securities, on the other hand…
