This is easy: issue crippling fines and criminal penalties, nationalize SpaceX and allow Ukraine to go on using it.

Why police would never abuse their power. /sarc

That's Lake Super Intelligence to you.

Seems more like an ideological project than good business.

I'll pass on slop stories and the quality of the visuals won't change that.

I'm sure they'll figure that out.

So when do they raise prices and start laying folks off?

Everything Meta makes is a privacy and security dumpster fire.

That's what's been happening already with the merger of Skydance, Paramount and HBO/Warner/Discovery.

Kalshi, Polymarket and sports betting are a scourge.

Ah, yeah — it was a rough process when I moved my library to it, but I have a rather involved workflow around it https://www.coryd.dev/posts/2026/expanding-my-music-pipeline

I have it tag, convert FLAC to mp3 before importing to Navidrome and moving the FLAC to an archive.

I'll second this. beets is excellent.

I'm saying we dismantle the sprawling security state that was built in the early aughts and replace it with something fair and humane. I'm not arguing to stop deportations. I'd prefer a far more humane, carefully considered set of policies — we don't need masked thugs in the streets killing civilians, we don't need camps and detention centers operated by private companies profiting off of human suffering.

That doesn't look like an absolute stop to deportations, it does look like a stop to the madness and cruelty of the current administration and its supporters.

Dissolve ICE. Anyone who works at the agency should be barred from future public service of any kind.

They scraped the entire internet to build their product, allowing them to profit off the labor of countless others without asking. They helped elect a doddering fascist with an economic plan they could manipulate. They say their technology will take everyone's jobs and have the audacity to act surprised when there's backlash. They push for data centers in communities that do not want them and help accelerate the climate crisis. Now they let agents loose to make them look more capable than they, perhaps, really are (which is very likely a play for regulatory capture). Meanwhile they hype claims of doomsday to again oversell their technology's capabilities. Any pause or slowdown they agree to would be to slow their infrastructure expenditures.

What a detestable institution.

I'll concede the point on variety but I don't think the platforms or their terms are fair to restaurants, delivery drivers or perhaps even customers (though they're clearly choosing to engage). Our favorite Mexican food place in town will fill the orders but isn't happy with them and I imagine they're not alone.

DoorDash and gig companies generally are a play to destabilize employment and turn as many people as possible from employees entitled to benefits and legal protections into contractors that can be discarded at whim. How is ordering, say, a pizza via DoorDash in any way better for you, as a customer, than ordering from a pizza place that employs drivers?

There's no reason we need to and there's every reason to believe that the people and companies foisting this technology on society will accrue the benefits and dump the fallout on everyone else.

This administration lives at the intersection of cruelty and stupidity.

This administration and its supporters are little more than a death cult.

I imagine there are many other businesses that would be profitable if they excluded all of their largest costs from their reporting.

My favorite Siri behavior is telling it, on my phone, to turn on a focus state only for it to transfer the request to a nearby HomePod that tells me it can't help with that. I hope the new changes to it are an improvement, but the bar is currently buried in the dirt.

Of course. xAI can also run gas generators to power its data centers and pump toxins into the air around local communities. Grok can generate non-consensual nude images of women (and CSAM). Their owner can make nazi salutes and demolish agencies millions depend on. Rules, laws and ethics are for poor people.

So, when do they drop support for IMAP and SMTP altogether?

The current administration has shown no interest in regulating AI or addressing its harms so I see no problem with a city making this choice.

I'm pretty sure the real fascists are the ones sending masked thugs to kill people in the streets. Reasonable regulation hardly meets the definition.

Yes. It feels more and more like a casino as time goes by.

Sports gambling is a cancer, as are prediction markets. None of it should've been legalized and all of it should be banned.
