Is there an alternative to Google maps that has traffic updates? I want to avoid Google where possible, but last week Google maps warned me about an accident on the highway and saved me being stuck in it for hours.

Correct, so people need to stop expecting the rule of law to protect them and need to start protecting themselves.

Well then, guess you should just keep your head down and submit. All this “2nd amendment” and “don’t tread on me” talk was nothing but bluster. Maybe someone else will come invade the US to introduce democracy for you.

On the one hand we can reduce traffic and the time people need to waste traveling to and from work. On the other hand, this guy can’t keep track of his co-workers whose work has nothing to do with him.

all the team is in Paris and he’s not. They don’t give a fuck what he says.

That’s a leadership problem, not a remote work problem. You handle it remotely the same way you would in person.

And petulant child methods. “I’m going to make my OWN UN, then everyone has to do what I say!”

He didn’t even think it through that much. His thought process was:

“The UN won’t let me do what I want. I’m going to make my own UN with me in charge so I can do anything I want.”

“The UN I’m making is so awesome because I’m in charge, I should charge people to join.”

“The King of France was mean about my super awesome UN, I’m going put tariffs on him! What does France sell? Wine and Champaign.”

Thoughts 2 and 3 are completely unconnected. If you spent 10 minutes explaining the connection to him he’d think “I’m smarter than I thought, either way I get money!”

Just shows how fundamentally ingrained it is in Trump’s head that he thinks he’s King and can dictate what everyone in his country does. He does not understand that any government doesn’t have that power.

•Whites becoming a minority
•Gender not being a fundamental way of organizing society

These two points can be simplified down to “their hierarchies being disrupted.”
People who have gotten so used to living with privilege that equality feels like oppression. They believe that to give others a bigger piece of the “treat people well” pie their piece needs to become smaller. They don’t understand that you can just make the pie bigger.

Trump is a man child racist

And a child rapist.

Even if the Norwegian government would, they could not do it. It’s not up to them

And Greenland is not owned by Norway, so what does he expect Norway to do? Issue him a “Super Special Big Boy Trophy”?

Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace

Asbuser “look what you made me do” energy. If he had been given it (he’s already been given 2 non-participation trophies) it would have been “this can’t be a war because I have a Peace Prize. This is necessary for peace.”

No, you see “the entire world has a far right problem” so they don’t have to do anything themselves.

Also “what are you doing to stop it” ie. Why isn’t someone else stopping this for me?

Isn’t Mint a version of Ubuntu?

aren’t going to have the accumulated experiences of US veterans

Oh man, this dinner is going to be so good when I have 100 chefs making it.

So it would be effective at preventing your site from being used as training data.

Not surprising. I had to remove my credit card information from Amazon because I kept getting automatically signed up for Prime without my consent.

Okay, but the original post is how Grok is taking pictures of children and removing their clothes. That’s not cartoons and not fictional people, so I don’t know why the conversation is being shifted this far away from the actual issue at hand here.

The issue with child porn is how you specify victim. One could argue easily available pornographic images of fake children increases the market and desire for pornographic images of real children and as such can result in more victims. Especially if someone can argue that images of real victims are “fake and AI generated.”

In regards to X and Grok however, my understanding is it is taking images of real children and producing naked images of those children. So there are real victims and Tim Sweeny is saying that shouldn’t be censored.

Making porn of actual people without their consent regardless of age is not a thought crime. For children, that’s obviously fucked up. For adults it’s directly impacting their reputation. It’s not a victimless crime.

That is also drawing a certain arrangement of lines and colours, and an example of “free speech” that you don’t think should be absolute.

It’s a negligible cost. Evidenced by the fact that despite a significant number of “new users” just collecting the free games and not spending any money, EGS continues to give away free games.

Clearly padding the number of users is worth it to them more than the ‘cost’ of those users claiming a free license on their account. Otherwise they would stop doing it.
