I think he knows what he's doing, since all he's really doing is stuffing his pockets. Doesn't take a genius to cartoonishly sell out the entire planet's economy for personal gain. I'm sure if he manages to crash the dollar he'll be thrilled to roll out Trumpcoin as the alternative and then rugpull the world a second time.

To me it looks like the Epstein scandal gives her a plausible way to transition to a presidential bid for 2028.

The concept is used by Palantir the corporation to refer to the fact that they are placing the world under malevolent surveillance. And they're clearly proud of that malevolence. Yucky.

I use my great grandfather's bottle opener. It's magnetic and sticks to my fridge, and it's over 100 years old. Works great!

But it does highlight that any random brute could put on a mask and do this with no authorization whatsoever. It's a fundamental human-rights and rule-of-law breakdown to fail to present a warrant. I agree that a warrant doesn't ethically make the arrests anything short of monstrous, though. That kind of legalist can suck eggs.

Thank goodness that last pic is edited, the bird didn't fall did it? (not ironic, I got worried about the bird and want a happy ending here)

I'm deleting Palantir, I think. I want Peter Thiel and his toxic ideology gone, and deleting Palantir's data and software would meaningfully set back the timeline of unlawful surveillance of the American public by our current administration.

I think most people on Lemmy qualify for Jaded Outcast by default.

I feel like he got enough for it to be a huge bombshell report.

Just putting a reasonably-up-to-date real-world value estimate next to any price in parentheses would be a big step forward though.

The mathmeticians already escaped to ArXiv. It's open.

 

Do any of you have a plan in place for how to tune into the 2024 Paris Olympics? I've got a good Jellyfin ecosystem set up to watch my video files and listen to my music, but I haven't explored many ways to watch live sports content yet. What is the best way to tune in to the events at the Paris Olympics this summer? They're split across several TV channels. Smooth UX would be my priority - I'm willing to spend a little money if need be. So I was considering going for a Youtube TV free trial during the event, but is there a better method?
