Time.

Maybe there are better ways but I tapered down to the lowest dose and then just pushed through for a couple weeks.

It helped that each day was noticeably better than the last like at first it was every 10-15 minutes and a couple days later it was every hour or two

My mega from 8 years ago is a tank! Basically my shower speaker now and lasts over 4-6 months per charge doing that

Apparently they'd have to go out of their way to support it (Bluetooth has to be configured and enabled) so it will not be implemented

I mean the right is obviously much worse, straight up lies vs careful omission. Not trying to defend that since it kinda goes without saying around here.

For this tho when one of the fastest/widest margin bills to pass congress this past year is blocking foreign tech media because it might influence elections, while our domestic tech companies have already been proven to do that over and over for the past few elections it just shows neither side actually cares about misinformation, just controlling it for themselves

Next step after that - AI identifying you as you drive up, looking up your income and price tolerance values from their data broker and displaying the max price it thinks you will stomach

Super weird. Wonder what happened. Was it an active suspension or automatic via reports or something else

From reading other stuff it seems much more likely that its a nuclear powered satellite jammer, not a nuclear satellite weapon. Nuclear powered would allow it to more effectively jam for longer distances/periods of time. We all have nuclear powered satellites in orbit which breaks no nuclear treaties so it sounds like they're being intentionally vague for some russia fearmongering.

Not to say it's not bad tho - it could take out commercial satellites like starlink very effectively and we know how critical that's been for Ukraine/would be for Taiwan

On my second paid month. Still trying to decide if its worth it. Biggest plus is that its not jammed with sponsored ads and seo'd websites full of garbage matching the search keywords. Downside is that $5 a month just feels like a lot for something that you can almost get for free (outside of the sponsored stuff the results are pretty similar unless you turn up the small web setting)

I'm able to stay under 300 a month by using ff shortcuts to route simple repetitive searches (weather, sports scores, etc.) to ddg while sending the rest to kagi

Damn can't imagine. Hope you can find a way to get that break

Respectfully disagree. Unchecked this gives whoever has the loudest microphone power to claim whatever they want out of context and most people will never find out the truth until it doesn't matter anymore.

"This person said something really bad - we can't tell you what it was but believe us, it was really bad"

The tweet posted is not a good message to spread. But my gauge is whether I'd be ok with the other side having the ability to determine what is and isn't ok to spread, and I would very much not like Republicans (via legislative or social pressure) to have the ability to dictate what messages are too dangerous to share
