I feel like this device should also be Gluten Free.

Yup. Global Warming is literally burning and flooding people to death, but political leaders and citizens are focussed on UFOs and aliens. Where are the hearings on how the oil industry knew this was happening and covered it up? If you are looking for a conspiracy to hide something huge from the world, that would be a good place to start.

Message sent. One of the cosponsors of this madness is one of my Senators. We need universal healthcare. Instead, we get a proposed universal tracking system for people to access the internet. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I have used SanDisk cards for years, without issue. They are a huge manufacturer of flash memory, which is why their prices were always good. It is certainly possible and even probable that the quality has gone down. All kinds of companies lower their product's quality and reliability to make them cheaper to increase profits.

That's not good at all.

I believe the phrase is:
"Lock him up! Lock him up!"

Seriously, put his ass in home confinement, slap on an ankle monitor and take away all of his electronics because he can't behave himself.

That's the point of the "culture war" that is currently manifesting as a war against "wokeness." As long as conservatives are distracted into hating LGBTQ and minorities, the working class will be split and will not have the ability to fight against the people truly responsible for the mess we are in.

The indoctrination works exceeding well, too. I have a relative who voted for Al Gore because of his stance on the environment. Fast-forward to now, and she is posting things on Facebook supporting the overall Republican agenda (Not supporting Trump or DeSantis, but still very conservative.) Basically, a bunch of family stuff including prolonged illness and eventual deaths made her a much more unhappy person, and the right-wing propaganda is designed to pick up people like that and bring them into the machine.

The magazine name is Modern Misogyny and rule 1 is "No bigotry - misogyny...".
That is like dividing by zero.

Right now, it appears to exist only with one user posting to himself. It is not a big problem. However, if you don't clean these things up quickly, you end up with a Nazi bar. Voat started out very Libertarian, but by the time it closed, its front page was dominated by hard-core antisemitism, it literally became a Nazi hang-out. Tolerance of intolerance ends up allowing the intolerance to spread and become the majority. kbin.social can not end up like that.

It is unclear how long Amazon will continue to support their assistant in the future. Amazon Alexa is a “colossal failure,” on pace to lose $10 billion this year

People use exactly as you are, to control various smart devices, but that doesn't pay for the infrastructure that makes Alexa run, and people are not using it to buy stuff from Amazon as envisioned.

Google's products are getting worse as they are now deep into the enshitification process, and making investors happy takes precedence over users. I would welcome an improvement in Google Assistant, but it will probably manage to make things worse.

There are a bunch of new 5-star ratings, including some that mention the API, others put in language referencing other apps. Either fanboys brigading or paid shillery of the reviews is occurring.
