I haven't found an article yet that can actually articulate the problem with 23 and me right now, and actually did research into it or even read the terms and service. The problem with 23 and me is that they are not maximizing the share holder value of the data they are sitting on. The CEO wants to keep the company in line with the principals they were founded on which is to protect the privacy and data of their customers, while using opt in studies to build data sets that can be studied or sold.

Investors want to enshittify the company, and have been organizing a campaign against to company to try to drive it into liquidation to buy the data, even though the company is profitable. I wouldn't be surprised is they are funding these weekly omfg 23 and me bad articles.

They really should start selling it and marketing it as never frozen fresh. It'll be even more effective that way once its legal nationwide.

I'm 100% for raw milk. I hope some one is setting up a centralized nation wide distribution ready to go live the second it's legal, and I hope everyone who wants it can get it at the same time before any news can spread.

I just hope they have the raw milk distribution set up to go live nationwide at the same time. I want all the people excited for this to get it, and enjoy it for as long as possible before the news gets to them.

Upgraded my highschool family desktop I took to college with a GeForce 8800 GT , used until I build a new pc with a Radeon 7970 GHz edition, which was replaced with a rx580 after the card passed away from light coin poisoning. Desktop is now running unRAID and my new main rig has a gtx 3070 in.

Emudeck was made to make emulation a no brainier on the steam deck and it works amazingly, but I'm not buying a $600 box just for emulation.

I feel like getting rid of the R word to describe people who believe in this stuff has made the problem worse. They've embraced being stupid, but the danger comes from conspiracies created specifically for them to be used in retarding progress with regards to maintaining a functional society.

I'm black, and I loved Dragon Ball, and back in the late 90s early 2000s when it was airing on Cartoon Network it was pretty much popular with everyone.

I can't talk for everyone but the saiyan and Frieza arc in Dragon Ball z really stuck with me. Goku knew nothing about his family his people and their history. Then all of a sudden they show up and reck havoc on his life. Eventually he learns that his people were essentially enslaved and exported around the universe as babies to work for their slave owner Frieza, and when they started to organize they were wiped out. This arc ends with a final showdown between the Goku who now knows his history and the last of his race facing down the slave master Frieza who thought he was nothing but a monkey.
