So Sam Altman's sister is accusing him of sexual abuse while she was still a child.

Typical of the family to defend him by saying she's 'got mental health issues'.

Of course she does! Anyone would after that!

"OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman accused of sexual abuse by sister in lawsuit"

Just because he's rich does NOT mean he's a law abiding person.

Because he's rich helps everyone ignore any crimes he might have done.

@joeo10 It's not happening all at once.
I bought one myself. XPS. Dell is idiotic though for getting rid of the brands for non-name things.
Yeah, it's COKE, not cola.

@RickiTarr Speaking of procrastination:

I gotta get my phone minutes re-upped.

Damn I always put it off to the last minute. Can't do that-I'll run out of time!

This is a Christmas wish everyone should have:

There's something wrong with our country:

"Kentucky police fatally shoot man after allegedly serving warrant at wrong home"

Are the cops so focused on shooting people that they now don't even need a reason?

Christ on breadstick:
People are stupid.
If you make 1 stupid, ill considered comment on 1 stupid post on FB, everyone will take especial umbrage over it and drag your carcass through the mud, over the hill and back again for 6 days to make sure you feel like a piece of shit forever after.
Which is why I am about to dump FB.
Stupid people don't forgive at all, and they're the ones who think they're smarter than everyone else.
And no, I"m not going to change my reply or apologize. Fuck them.

Just wait until the first human beings die of the bird flu and then Trump will say, "It''ll disappear like magic" then we have another full scale pandemic the likes of which will make Covid look like a walk in the park.
Bird flu has been killing millions of birds for the past 5 years. It's now in cows and milk. It's only a matter of time before it becomes easily human transmissible.

Just for the record, the Auschwitz Museum organization has a presence on Mastodon, and any mention of Elon Musk should be given a link to some place that he obviously wants to bring back.

This is what he is endorsing:

https://www.auschwitz.org/en/

FORMER GERMAN NAZI
CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP

"KL Auschwitz was the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers. Over 1.1 million men, women and children lost their lives here."

@joeo10 That would have happened any way (the site going down) because earlier this year it was determined that the .io domain is has to be scrapped. An international lawsuit did that:

One less garbage site down..." TikTok loses bid to strike down law banning it from the US "

https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/06/tech/tiktok-ban-law-court-decision/index.html

So how they going to ban it from being downloaded in the US? How are they going to delete the app from millions of users' phones now?

Don't give Jeff Bezos one dime of your hard earned money today!

If you're a reader, you've either heard of or joined "GoodReads". It's owned by Bezos (part of Amazon's book selling thing) and there is now an alternative to it:

I get the distinct feeling that this is going to be the longest four years of "I fucking told you so!" being repeated to stupid Trump voters.
And he isn't even sworn in yet...

Yes, exactly-
#atheism

@botvolution Welcome to middle age. Which is the longest age of all.
Between first and second childhoods.

@joeo10 Thank you for that!
I'm going to go slow with getting it up and running, because it's the first real NEW computer I've ever had. All the rest were tech husband specials.

I'm getting happy now! My computer is shipped but not yet picked up by FedEx!

Oh, I will be so happy to finally have a machine that works!

It's not the ring they're kissing, actually.

They're afraid of being canceled by Trump's new FCC nominee. They love their money, and they can't get regular jobs.

@joeo10 Plus, with Elon having a potentially influential spot in the Wh, it can get very tricky because he'll try to buy every social platform to make sure the 'haters' are under his control. Don't say it won't happen..just look at the past election for that nonsense.
