https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algospeak

Algospeak is the use of coded expressions to evade automated moderation algorithms on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. It is used to discuss topics deemed sensitive to moderation algorithms while avoiding penalties such as shadow banning or downranking of content.

IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.

Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen... the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).

Which would be a crying shame, of course...

Thanks for the info.

I think Disroot survive on donations, and I get the impression that they would rather close than sell users' data. But you never know.

My next major software install will be the Nextcloud docker image, replacing so many data-sucking cloud services. Self-host at first, then maybe try a trusted provider (from whom my data would be protected).

The legend about the origin of the word sabotage is that French workers being put out of a job by bosses installing new machinery would drop their wooden clogs (called "sabots" in French) into the machinery's gears, thus damaging it.

For a nanosecond, I somehow understood the headline as "Audio Galaxy Still Accessible". Which really would be impressive.

I only just realized that my search plugin in qBittorrent isn't giving me any results from TGx.

TSA vs DOGE... maybe they can both lose?

I don't understand; Pichai was there, meekly applauding at the Dear Leader's reinauguration...

Maybe RFK Jr's running mate Shanahan still has a grudge to bear againt her ex, Sergey Brin.

The government had also said Google, whose parent company is Alphabet, should be forced to divest its stakes in any artificial intelligence products that could compete with search, a bid to stop the company from dominating the nascent technology.

The Justice Department changed that portion of its request on Friday, saying instead that Google should have to notify federal and state officials before proceeding with investments in A.I.

Oh, I think I grok it now...

"The Department of Government Efficiency" is not a department.

"Full self-driving" is not fully self-driving.

I'm detecting a theme here.

Reminds me of Farage getting de-banked.

It was later revealed that Farage's account was closed in part as Coutts felt that his beliefs and values did not align with theirs. In an internal dossier, Coutts wrote that he "is at best seen as xenophobic and pandering to racists" and considered a "disingenuous grifter".
