These people aren’t actually this stupid. They know illegal immigrants don’t vote. They know their interactions with social security are largely limited to paying in and never getting anything out. They know they don’t actually qualify for Medicare or Medicaid. No, the database is to surveil and track permanent residents and citizens.

Yeah I’m sure it pushed all the Trump supporters who were about to vote for Harris into rethinking their positions…

Not currently

Because otherwise the superpowers have zero incentive to participate at all.

If he has to divulge his divestment it’s going to go to 0 before he can sell it all. If he doesn’t need to divulge it, it’s still going to go close to zero because the market for that stock won’t hold if 60% of it hits the market. If he’s been able to borrow against it, he’ll probably default and leave his lenders holding the bag.

If he’s on any ballots he might well be stuck on them, but nothing stops him from ceasing to campaign and telling people to vote Trump.

Ofc some tiny fraction may still vote for him if they really want to.

Last time I disabled an ad blocker to try it on desktop, I was getting scammy looking product ads. On my phone if I browse Shorts (revanced doesn’t stop those ads) it’s all straight-up financial/health benefits scams.

But the other night I accidentally opened the 1st party YouTube app on my TV instead of Smart Tube Next and the ads were for big brands. So there’s probably a different level of desirability based on content type and device type at play.

They get some control but it depends on the content how exactly it works. I think for normal videos they get a say right from the start where the breaks are. But I know one guy who does YT and he live streams and has to clean up every VOD because they just randomly pepper ads all throughout.

On rare occasions YouTube will play exceptionally long videos as ads. When YouTube Red came out I got multiple entire hours long shows as ads (as a “free preview!”) I’m pretty sure Ive gotten one of the movies they put up for free viewing as an ad before.

Obviously you can skip after 5 seconds or whatever but they hope to catch someone playing stuff in the background. Probably to increase their crappy view count for those features to sell actual ads later.

She was free from him and sought him out. She drove from Milwaukee to Kenosha, shot him twice in the head, set his house on fire, and stole his car. It was premeditated murder.

The only issue with nationalizing it is that it will be probably even worse for moderation than under Elon. Private enterprises currently enjoy protection for moderation decisions. If it were nationalized any moderator action would run up against the First Amendment directly. Elon could ban Nazis (he doesn’t but he could). A government controlled entity cannot.

Those issues are ones that it’s hard to just walk back with a mea culpa, especially when the apology comes precisely when it starts to impact your career.

It is, it’s deadline is just a little farther out.

Has the same SoC as the new $100 Google box as well.

This $100 box from Google runs on the same SoC as the $50 streaming box from Onn (Walmart). The only major differences are the Google box as 4GB of RAM vs 3GB, a 1Gb Ethernet port instead of 100Mb (both have WiFi 6), and the Google box has a USB Type C port for power/data and would need an OTG adapter/hub while the Onn box has a Type A and a barrel plug for power.

It’s also twice the price of the Onn 4k Pro (Walmart house brand) that’s built on the same chip and has the same features running the stock Google TV experience.

He reposted it saying “the Internet was a mistake”, probably trying to pass it off as something that just came up when he was scrolling. Think, right wingers ranting about the immorality of big tech, etc. But the screenshot shows he searched for it.

Good hunting.

He was pressured to step down and then was ultimately willing to listen and do so. There was no method to force him to step down – he had more than enough delegates locked in to win the nomination if he wanted to keep going.

This is a good move. Thrg just need to be careful to preclude somehow giving an opening for the court to hear it via original jurisdiction. Congress can only limit the court’s appellate jurisdiction under the Constitution.
