Frankly I think a lot of these people are politics first. How else do you explain the dissonance between Jesus’s teachings and their political opinions?
Indeed, but the rage I've seen during political fights at family gatherings (and another politics-induced divorce) pales in comparison to the rage I saw in these two anecdotes. The worst political debates I've seen involved raised voices and some name calling, not spitting food and smashing plates. The only other political divorce I've seen slowly simmered over a few years after Trump was first elected, not in a literal matter of weeks.
America has 40% more traffic fatalities per km driven than the European Union and has less stringent emissions standards (especially for the Hilux's category, which is actually why giant SUVs became so popular over the years).
The US government doesn't even bother with these spurious pretexts anymore. They openly admit that they want to coddle local automakers to ensure that the government has a supply chain of transportation vehicles in wartime. It's quite literally socialism for the entire American auto sector.
“Today, Apple is proud to report a remarkable, record-breaking quarter, with revenue of $143.8 billion, up 16 percent from a year ago and well above our expectations,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “iPhone had its best-ever quarter driven by unprecedented demand, with all-time records across every geographic segment, and Services also achieved an all-time revenue record, up 14 percent from a year ago. We are also excited to announce that our installed base now has more than 2.5 billion active devices, which is a testament to incredible customer satisfaction for the very best products and services in the world.”
Interesting that services revenue growth (+14% YoY) is less than overall revenue growth (+16% YoY).
It really shows the reliance on the iPhone for revenue growth remains, with iPhone giving 23% YoY revenue growth, while Mac and wearables declined YoY.
So what? Google has been plugging its phone with AI features blah blah. The vast majority dont care about AI to the extent its going to hurt Apple at all. They know that too. Hence they continue going-on and not dumping hundreds of billions into chasing AGI.
I disagree. Samsung Notes has always been more useful and better designed than Google Keep, especially the way it works with the S-pen. GoodLock makes it possible to customize your Galaxy phone in ways that are impossible even with developer mode on the Pixel series.
How do those relate? If the agency has been told to look at specific types of people to check for their papers, does it matter the race of the enforcers?
The author did not make such a statement, rather (it appears to me), that they were surprised instead by the lack of empathy exhibited by said similar-origin agents. A feeling that is shared by a lot of people who are opposed to the inhumane brutality being meted out, without repercussions, by ICE agents.
Because race is a story we tell ourselves, it turns out to not be as hard as one might assume to bend the story to make ingroups and outgroups out of people that, to an outside observer, should have more in common than their interactions suggest they do.
Anyone can do that. How often so you think a racist CEO funds a fascist president who funds the opression of immigrants, killing them?
Anyway,you are in personal responsibiliry land and been told you are tge master of your domain. Rarely do people who think individuality is paramount care about society. Your example along allows you to fixate on anecdotes because they hit your dopami e.
It's relevant, because border patrol on the Southern border is heavily staffed by Hispanic officers, in part because they need officers that are bilingual as most immigration happening on the Southern border is from Spanish-speaking countries. But these same officers as a matter of policy are told to racially profile and target vehicles with Hispanic occupants. Power structures need the complicity of at least some defectors from the targeted group to be effective.
Further, within racial groups colorism is also a thing and can result in behaviors that seem incongruent. I've heard some of my in-laws say things like "I'm Mexican, but I'm not Mexican Mexican." It's not something people want to think about or admit, but racial identity is not a bloc, and these types of colorist attitudes can contribute to why folks may defect against their racial group to side with power structures.
Living in South Texas, I see a lot of shit, and what was said in the article neither surprised me nor seemed like a detail meant to evoke a race card. If anything it was pointing out that the officers pitted against the writer should theoretically had some empathy rather than acting out racial profiling. The truth is, that racial profiling happens a lot and sometimes the people doing it are of the same race as those being profiled.
I think people really misunderstand what racism is, and how Trump used the delusion of racists to make them all think they were gonna get "their" racism satisfied, when in fact, he was only refering to his and his staffs racism, which is mostly the same as Nazis.
The fact that he was hispanic is in fact why he was harassed. The fact that some hispanics align with racism in the duty of Trump isn't confusing when you understand they might've thought he was venezualan while they're all cuban or whatever. They might have easily be enforcing their brand of racism.
The reason thinks like "LatinX" were rejected by latinos wasn't cause they hated liberals, it was because most of the south/central Americans have their own ethnographic racisms, and Trump tapped into that by essentially convincing them that he'd go after the "illegal" ones, and all the racists replaced illegal with whatever ethnographic/nationalist they hated.
So after all that, I assum you have no idea why hispanics deputized with federal power would pick on other hispanics, do you? Cause what you're demonstrating is the nazi POV of racism.
It's certainly easier than setting up and maintaining a VPS and probably less expensive for most users, but your data is not private. Cloudflare can always read everything that goes through Moltworker and its attached storage.
Hosting Moltbot on your own hardware reigns supreme.
I think if you care about privacy and security, you wouldn't run moltbot in the first place (or wouldn't give it access to anything you wanted to keep private).
That overstates it a bit. Yeah, it's mostly vibe-coded and the main dev has publicly said he has yet to review the reported vulnerabilities. I am aware that it can be easily pwned with prompt injection from its data sources.
I'm running it on my old Mac mini right now and I have not given it access to untrusted inputs like my email inbox. It only has access to my filesystem (synced to my laptop with Syncthing), local applications like Apple Reminders, and OpenRouter. I already find it useful for augmenting web searches with stuff that's in my Obsidian vault.
If you’re letting it access websites then presumably it’s open to prompt injection from those sites you’re accessing? I guess the attack surface is reduced if it doesn’t have access to anything useful beyond that.
The host actually gets RAM back after bursty workloads in the container thanks to memory ballooning. Containers also start up to 5x faster and `npm install` is also much faster because OrbStack uses macOS-specific APIs as much as possible.
The Orbstack dashboard is also something you'll actually enjoy using. It's a native Swift app that launches instantly, not Electron. You get resolvable hostnames for all your containers (though I use traefik instead). Opening a container's filesystem in Finder is another nice trick, I use that one now and then.
Dagger has been a godsend in helping me cope with the unending misery that is GitHub Actions. A big thanks to you and the whole team at Dagger for making this possible.
Thank you for the kind words! I'd love to show you a demo of the new features we're working on, and get your thoughts. Want to DM me on the Dagger discord server? Or email me at solomon@dagger.io
