Trump is about to find out how wonderfully petty Brazil can be. Elon Musk found out earlier. They are also the 9th largest economy in the world, 5th largest country, the world leader in alternative fuels, and leader on the global south in food security. Also thanks to new agreements with China and EU they really need the US.

They also are the largest producers of sugar, beef, coffee and chocolate.

They are doing away with pennies too. So they upgraded to taking ever nickel now. Next year, they will be coming for dimes.

The threat of the IRS coming to take what little you have is just too great. It’s too bad they are not as aggressive with billionaires and multi-million dollar companies.

They kind of already do that. Not sawdust but just take a look at the list of ingredients in most of the food you buy. A lot of those ingredients are banned in most countries and pose health hazards for consumers, yet we still use them. We need not only tougher regulations, but to also properly fund the FDA so they can inspect properly. Of course companies lobby heavily against that, and with our current administration, there is a bigger chance they kill of the FDA than that happening.

That has changed with the systematic dismantling of our education system and the push against critical thinking that started in the Reagan Era. Nowadays people are for the most part, too darn stupid to hold these people accountable.

It’s not just Delta. What we really need is tougher regulations to prevent this. Of course there is a snowballs chance in hell this will happen in this administration.

I don’t need a lot of features others don’t have. I started using it before it used chromium as a base and kind of just stuck with it. I do like the built in ad blocking and VPN, even though I have a stand alone vpn.

I live in the US. I’m sure I could order ot from somewhere but I doubt I could get it deveprd locally. Also like in the original post, it’s eb3n hard to find a photo album these days. To me it has more value as a relic than actually taking pictures.

Let’s see if this is the wake-up call THAT MAGA needed. We have been telling them for years that the Orange TACO doesn’t give a turd about them. Now they get to hear it from the horses mouth. WAKE UP MAGA!

We do have a 3rd sibling, but alas, she has no dark room. Also, not sure you can find 120 film these day.

Him and his billionaire buddies need a tax break, so here we are again.

Seems like the only ones who have not had a good year, with record earnings are us poor plebes who keep the gears turning.

One of my sisters, who is the unofficial archiver of the family, kept the photo albums when my parents passed. However I kept another treasure: the Rolleiflex camera that recorded our childhoods.

It’s pretty clueless to compare the insulting name for someone who happens to be born with a particular skin color to mame chosen by some subhuman asshat who chooses to hate everyone who looks different.

You just can’t make this shit up…

I don’t see how open-source can be authoritarian. I mess with generative AI as a hobby, mainly image creation. While closed source models like Runway and Klink are impressive open-source ones like Wan2.1 are just so much more flexible. Mostly thanks to Loras and controlnets developed by hobbyists or 3rd parties. Not only that, but the fact you can generate locally till little hearts content for free is so much more enjoyable then getting nickel and dimed by some AI company.

Ot says a lot about a society where bullies make a decent living and some teachers are forced to live in their cars. How is this making America great?

At my age, thats a compliment :) Plus,I saw that too…but the ones I described are scarier to me.

It’s a combination of having used it forever and it has all the features I want. Part might also be that subversive little me likes using something not everyone knows exist.

Don’t look at me, I’ve been an Opera fan for more years than I care to admit.
