  • Is there any chance that shit was rigged this time around?

    There's always a chance of almost anything, but it is very slim (conspiracy theory) with no evidence to support it:

    "Importantly, we have no evidence of any malicious activity that had a material impact on the security or integrity of our election infrastructure," per the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly.

  • Spoiler alert, they're talking about fiber.

    The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that women eat 22 to 28 grams of fiber per day, while men should aim for 28 to 34 grams of fiber per day. Dietitians say most people aren’t getting anywhere close to that.
    On average, Americans eat about to 10 to 15 grams of fiber per day, according to Harvard Medical School.

  • Depends. In my experience, it usually does exist. Now there are hallucinations where GPT makes up stuff or just misinterprets what it read. But it's super easy to read the GPT output, look at the cited work, skim works for relevance, then tweak the wording and citing to match.

    If you just copy/paste and take GPT's word for it without the minimal amount of checking, you're digging your own grave.

  • the fact that Biden is drawing attention to it

    Now, if only there was someone in charge of the federal government, preferably with immunity when acting on official duties, who could safeguard America's interest by removing someone's access to defense contracts and deporting the same someone who started off their defense career illegally. Oh well.

  • I'm sometimes super slow at the start of self checkout. If the bags are stuck together, not open, and if I didn't bring my own, sometimes it takes me 2 minutes just to open a plastic bag. I'm trying my hardest!

  • or randos on the internet then?

    I mean isn't that practically everyone on the Internet that you don't know personally? Or do you actually know the Firefox and/or Librewolf team, and audit their code as well?

    If no to both...sounds like you are putting some measure of trust into "randos on the Internet." Which is not abnormal. Trust is required at some point in most processes.

  • My thing against Firefox/Librewolf is lack of security...unless it's improved?

    Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn't have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android. This is despite the fact that Chromium semantic sandbox layer on Android is implemented via the OS isolatedProcess feature, which is a very easy to use boolean property for app service processes to provide strong isolation with only the ability to communicate with the app running them via the standard service API. Even in the desktop version, Firefox's sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux) and lacks full support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole. The sandbox has been gradually improving on the desktop but it isn't happening for their Android browser yet.

  • The Human Cannonball? He got launched out of the cannon and did one flip before getting caught by the net.

    That's what it looks like to the untrained eye. But they're not really going to fire a person out of a cannon. That's not safe. So he just huddles in the cannon, they light a decoy fuse, it makes a bang (with no projectile), and he spring out and jumps that distance by himself. Requires a lot of core and leg strength.

  • Your data has monetary value to google. Giving them access, without getting any money from them (or even knowing what ways it will be used) is not something you must do.

    To be fair, while you may not be getting money in its direct form (cash, bank deposit, etc) from Google, they are providing you a service which costs them money for free. So they are providing something of monetary value.

    Only the individual can determine if their data is worth that free (to the individual, not free to Google) service. I'm assuming that most people in a privacy community would be against that, though.
