Edit: Nevermind, I guess for some reason even when you paste the normal link in, it displays it with a space on my instance for some reason.
We even have fucking Marjorie Taylor Greene getting angry at Trump and blaming the shutdown on the Republicans.
If that doesn’t show anyone how common this type of thing has gotten…
A great Medium article on the topic that analyzes the entire situation: (coming to the conclusion that no, Proton does not really seem to be in favor of Trump/MAGA at all given their actual actions, and how the original statement was misinterpreted)
Where I grew up, they’d teach us the inner part of essays too… in the same way, every time, with similar length and structure.
So they would teach us to do it like so:
Always the same length, always the same structure, and doing to many or too little sentences even if it would make sense (which led to people stretching their word count) would get you a bad grade, and doing any kind of different structure would also get you a bad grade (think: making a claim at the beginning, but only answering it at the end with a callback) while discussing other points between that.
When told to then write more narrative driven things, we were given absolutely no guide on how to do it, and just told to “write a story”.
Honestly, I’m glad they did the Fairbuds first. Just the XL is a little disappointing, since I was hoping for the regular Fairbuds, but I’m sure it makes sense for them to do it that way.
A lot of people aren’t fine with buying a phone that’s a bit behind whatever the newest, flashiest, highest-end phone is, but they are fine with buying headphones that might not please an audiophile, but will be perfectly good for everyone else. Especially if they can replace the battery, cables, speakers, ear cushions, headband, and speaker covers for a price that’s downright reasonable. (20 euros for a brand-new battery, for example)
The yellow stickers are also present in some Flock marketing materials, so I’d definitely recommend getting a good shot of the sticker.
And if it does seem to be a Flock camera, add it to DeFlock! (don’t worry about if the images on the site to make sure it’s an ALPR don’t include one from Flock that looks like that, they only have images for two of Flock’s fixed camera systems, the Flex LPR, and the Standard LPR, but Flock has other designs.)
I couldn’t find any other cameras that have all the same physical characteristics that weren’t just pictures either on Flock’s website, or from other sites talking about Flock cameras.
I’m not entirely opposed to the idea that they’re using an existing design, but it seems more likely to me that they simply had one custom-made, especially considering the fact that they have very specific needs, such as the ability to accurately read a license plate on a car, which they claim they can do while it’s going 100mph, at 75ft away, both day or night, or the fact that their cameras have cellular connections built-in, which would require the existing design to also have a slot for a SIM card, or ability to install an eSIM.
Again, not saying it’s impossible, but I’d consider it unlikely.
Looks like a Flock Condor PTZ to me. Not just any PTZ camera, (has LPR and people-tracking tech built-in) though the design and intent is similar. Commonly installed around crosswalks and parks where changing the point of view could sometimes be necessary to observe specific gatherings/incidents, rather than the ones Flock also sells that stay mounted in a fixed point on main roads.
Notice the exact same shape of the white dome above the camera ball, the same visible “rail” lines on the ball, how there’s an identically-sized and shaped plate covering the black rectangle on the base in OP’s second photo that I’ve added below as well, and how it has the same size and width mounting bracket, with identical screw mounts.
And the person who made that article even included a photo of an Apple sticker on their own car!
And I’ve already had this happen a few times. The search engine I use (Kagi) tends to rank fediverse platforms higher when they have a good answer, though it’s rare they ever have something relevant.
But I’ve gone to multiple posts on lemmy where the content was straight up gone, or where the main post was available, but the comment(s) that provided an actual answer were deleted.
I will say, you’ll see a lot of users on lemm.ee who deleted their content, because lemm.ee shut down, and there’s no way to retroactively delete your content after the fact once the instance is no longer being hosted, so I know a lot of people didn’t want to leave any kind of permanent digital trail of their account data and just deleted the whole thing.
Hell, even I did with my lemm.ee account before it was shut down, but I hadn’t really answered many questions there that would be useful to most people. It was a lot more political debate than helpful commentary.

This.
For example, it’s much easier to get 20 game studios’ employees to form individual unions, slowly building up more and more support within their tight-knit communities, than it is to have employees from all 20 game studios simultaneously come together, agree they want to start a union, and draw way more attention and hostility otherwise.
Obviously this isn’t a hard and fast rule 100% of the time, but the alternative is just it being too hard to coordinate across every game studio at once.
And of course, later on, they can always just merge together or form partnerships/agreements as needed. It’s getting started that’s the hard part, and it’s even more difficult when you try to start at a massive scale.
“… but now I’ve invented a revolutionary way of keeping these things top of mind, always available, and crucially, found. It’s called ‘remembering’, and you can do it too if you try. Just follow these simple steps, and also buy my overpriced book made to sell you the same information but in a format that makes me sound more intelligent and pretentious than I already sound. Thank you for coming to my TED talk”

I think what they’re rightly pointing out is not that veterans deserve more than anyone else, but that veterans are often centered in political discussions on the right when discussing people that “deserve” anything for “free” that could help improve or even just maintain their lives, and that it’s hypocritical to then effectively backtrack on that.
I fucking hate that emojis of all things are now a sign of AI-generated text.
Like come on, the ONE thing that’s meant to better pass on human emotion and visually represent things in a more fun format just HAD to be co-opted and become so generic and AI-related that people, including me, don’t trust it anymore.
It’s been doing it more and more for me on Futo as well as time has gone on, but I keep the app disconnected from the internet (GrapheneOS setting) so it shouldn’t be impacted by anything other than training.
It was happening even when I went a while without updating it.
Something makes me think it might be a little self-reinforcing. You get a bad suggestion, you don’t instantly correct it (e.g you press space and then go back to correct it), the app originally assumes you wanted the faulty change, doesn’t backtrack after since you already pressed space)
Maybe I should just turn down the effect or just disable training entirely and see if that changes anything.
And even if it’s never political, so what?
Someone uses it to promote a dangerous supplement, with thousands of fake, AI-generated videos of people taking it without issues, and suddenly a bunch of people buy it, take it, and suffer severe consequences, or even die.
But good thing it’s not gonna manipulate who you’d vote for amirite? Totally harmless! /s
And if they do, I have no doubt in my mind Trump will hold it up as an example for why we “don’t need food stamps because private individuals will donate anyways” or something stupid like that.
Yes, it’s different.
