It’s obviously too early to say the motive with 100% accuracy. But based on the timing of the event, and the Trump/Musk connection. It would seem like a Trump supporter who felt betrayed about the H1B visa thing.

The party super concerned about the debt is also the one who wants to defund their only source of income. Brilliant.

USB micro (not sure if you’re getting micro confused with mini, but doesn’t really matter) only supported data transfer, not video transfer (like HDMI). Some USB-C ports are data only, but it theoretically supports more than USB micro was ever capable of.

For example you can buy a USB-C to HDMI cable for a few dollars, which could theoretically plug your phone directly into your TV (if your phone supports that). But a USB micro to HDMI cable was called an “MHL adapter” and was expensive and only worked on specific MHL capable phones like this one. It has a separate box that requires its own power cord in order to work, it’s not just a simple cable. USB-C should, in theory, eliminate the need for such a thing.

a series of switches is not ever going to create a sentient being

Is the goal to create a sentient being, or to create something that seems sentient? How would you even tell the difference (assuming it could pass any test a normal human could)?

I heard Facebook is spent tons of money to combat election misinformation in 2016 and 2020 and I heard the same story again in 2024. The problem is solved right?

I’d love single payer healthcare, but it would cost like 1000x more than this.

“You people are next” does seem pretty threat-ish, however:

After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston’s bond at $100,000.

That is completely out of touch with what happened. “You people are next” not an act of terrorism.

• Likely wearing similar clothes to the widely circulated photographs. Otherwise how did anyone recognize him?
• Still had his ghost gun and manifesto on him.
• Cops asked him for an ID and he gave them the same fake New Jersey ID that had been widely reported as what he used to check into a hostel in NYC.

Where these just common mistakes? Made by the same person who succeeded at avoiding so many others? But if he was trying to turn himself in, getting arrested at McDonalds doesn’t seem like the method I would have chosen. Was he trying for suicide by police?

I’m leaning on the side of a normal human ‘on the run’ and making normal mistakes. But there is enough to make me doubt that.

Also if they ever make a movie out of this, James Franco’s brother Dave Franco has a passing resemblance.

It’s not though. They worded it confusingly on purpose. The two that are still stuck are named Williams and Wilmore. The 4 mentioned in this article have different names.

It’s because of racial biases between the different Hispanic groups. They hate Haitians too.

The Drew Carrey Show just finally got a streaming release a couple months ago. On Plex. All 9 seasons now.

Only $30 million? For the amount of content and the convenience, Libgen seems to getting charged pennies on the dollar here. Imagine if the government could make a free online library of that quality for only $30 million, it would be a fantastic investment.
