It occurred to me today that even though over 1 million Americans have died from Covid, we have no national memorial or national day day of mourning and how the powers that be have decided to memory hole the whole thing and how wrong this is.

@samhainnight the world suffered, and the world should have a day of mourning.

No accurate figures so it's up to the brilliance of @mike_honey_ @dbRaevn & a few others to estimate what's going on.

This suggests that over 1 million people have C0VID in Oz right now, & that almost half of the entire population has had C0VID in the last 6 months. These numbers are extraordinary.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy @mike_honey_ @dbRaevn @auscovid19 did they really spell covid with a zero?

If you still want to use #Google search, but don’t want to see #ai results, use https://udm14.com/

Adding the string &udm=14 to your query removes AI results. This website automates that for you.

Samsung TV Plus is free and has a TON of content, both live and on demand.

You will have to sign up for an account, but Apple's "Hide My Email" works just fine. The signup process is VERY buggy, but press on, you'll get there.

Currently watching "Jobs" on my Mac. Thought that was apropos.

@davemark it may hide your email, but it won’t hide your IP address. Curious how else they intend to invade privacy.

@davemark VPN operators see all your DNS queries, every web site you visit, ever connection you make. They know when you’re using Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, whatever. Without the VPN your ISP sees all this. Choose your monetizing snoop wisely.
To my original point, free from Samsung makes the user the product. What data about you will they pilfer? Just your watching habits? That’s never enough for the other snoops. Device fingerprints, apps installed, mouse tracking? Touch tracking? Keystroke tracking? Will they poke through your file system? Stick you with more cookies to track elsewhere? Do they turn on microphones or cameras? Listen via your accelerometers? And so forth.

well I wasn’t lucky enough to see much of the aurora borealis here in Oakland but the storm did knock our power out in the middle of the night & when it came back on all our smart lights turned on & our smart doorbell rang so that was a spooky way to wake up. which is something.

IRS Audit of Could Cost Former President More Than $100 Million

The tax agency concluded in its long-running investigation that Trump effectively claimed the same massive write-off twice on his failed Chicago tower. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-irs-audit-chicago-hotel-taxes

@GottaLaff so he WAS under an audit!

I reflexively cringed when I saw this ad. Not only is it wasteful, the message sent across appears to be that Apple literally crushes all the things you like to make the new iPad.

Tone-deaf.

I think Biden really screwed himself with this aid bill for Ukraine, Israel, and banning Tiktok at the same time.

Regardless your opinions of Tiktok, that's overwhelmingly Gen Z and Millenial users, the voters Biden needs.

Trump has magically pivoted himself as someone who will save Tiktok, despite trying to ban it earlier.

You have millions of business operators (myself included) who may be suing the US government for harming our businesses as well.

@chiefgyk3d I didn’t ignore it. I affirmed it. TikTok and Meta do not represent the same risk to national security.

The bill was bipartisan. Did that escape your notice?

And they’re not shutting it down. They’re trying to force it to change hands to get it out of Chinese government control/access.

Hyping it as “Dems bad. Boo Biden.” is actual disinformation, and looks like political propaganda and campaigning.

@chiefgyk3d like I thought, the practicalities of governance in a divided Republic hold no sway with your ideals. This inevitably leads to nihilism. In fact, fighting through the complications are how anything good gets done.

Ignoring the clear violation of national security interests and representations to regulators in secretly sending user information to Chinese bosses is not the same as Meta’s practices. To be sure, we’d be better off without Meta. But the CCP having such detailed PII is a direct threat.

@chiefgyk3d did you it read about US employees secretly sending user data to managers in China? I provided the link.

@aardvark@ioc.exchange avatar

@chiefgyk3d see the article with employees testifying about secretly passing US PII to China

@chiefgyk3d you didn’t read it, did you?
