As someone who helps small businesses create their own websites... thank you Facebook! Seriously though, back when "Facebook Pages instead of websites" were all the rage, FB demoting page content in feeds officially killed that movement and I was similarly happy.

Sorry! At least you know this was "human written".

I'll try: It's dangerous to broadcast your AI use to competitors, users and the public for fear of being attacked.

Nobody asked for this! We just want more, better and cheaper games! That's it. I could care less how quick it takes to launch an app which then stays open for hours/days.

Maybe it's just a loyalty filter to easily see who is actively "bending the knee". If you use "AI" in your discourse it's a subtle sign you don't align with Trump. I'm not sure but we'll know soon!

I don't consider Peter Thiel to be very smart. I've read his "sermons" for lack of a better word and they're just pseudointellectual nonsense, and tech-babble with a dash of religious justification to appeal to conservatives (Federalist Society/Heritage Foundation etc.) I wouldn't seriously consider anything he says to be viable. They're (Trump's cabinet/oligarchs) only loyal as long as MAGA loyalists keep blindly supporting Trump, the second the tide turns they'll scatter like cockroaches.

True, but his "handlers" are very smart and behind his rants there's usually a very deliberate motivation and accompanying action.

Raspberry Pi 4 8GB in my basement runs:

Jellyfin, Tailscale (to route my Internet when I'm travelling), and 3-4 web app side projects.

While I've considered a VPS for true 24/7 access (and more power), I haven't yet built something critical enough to justify the cost.

Also, Tailscale on a VPS wouldn't serve my travelling needs which are to use my home connection/IP/geo.

Israel paid for the Trump presidency. The Iran "war" is just them collecting on that debt. It couldn't be MORE related.

Don't worry, soon the US will have models with no memory of Watergate or Jan 6.

My kid had a school supplied Chromebook for 4 years that she was allowed to keep. She hated it, constantly abused it and was thrilled to stop using it. It's now my spare/mobile work device and I LOVE IT. It has a rock solid build, small enough to use in my lap, touchscreen, still has a great battery and being a Chromebook... it just works! Kids are kinda dumb (I'm only half joking) and I think even if they were given MacBooks she would have shit all over it just because it was associated with school.

I read this headline as "Pledge signed by President Trump and slop AI leaders misspells the United States"

Then there's me, using my AI tools to build a Fantasy Football lineup tool. Did pretty good last week!

I use my kids' former high school Chromebook while on the road with great satisfaction. It's small (11.6 inches) which allows for easy lap operation. It's touchscreen which also helps when sitting in a car with the laptop close to your body. It's "tough" (IP52 certification) and was thoroughly abused by my kid for 4 years with almost no damage besides scuffs.

She hated it but I LOVE it and will look for a similar form factor when it finally dies which will 100% come after Google ends support.

Lastly, I often use it to remotely control my primary Windows PC which makes it even MORE useful.
