At least there's still an opt out...

I'm sorry, I hate what Elon is doing, with twitter/X and not only, but I call bullshit on this post, at least until further strong evidence being presented.

I don't doubt that Elon and Xitter have been pushing his political agenda one way or another, but the post specifically calls out elizaOS and links to some github website and repo which supposedly contains "bread crumbs". All I see is an AI project that is not (directly, at least) affiliated with Elon, at least from what I could find on a quick internet search, and for sure whose employees were not X employees to be able to leave bread crumbs into. Also the supposed "bread crumb" is just some third party company/organization offering an AI agent ~~mocking~~mimicking Trump where in its "bio" it says it interfered with the election? Sorry, I need stronger proof.

Let me know when the deal is final, accepted by both parties, nobody pulls out or unilaterally changes terms at the last second, and the deal is actually observed and enforced for at least a week. I've seen this script play out differently too many times to get excited yet...

Yeah I said at least 5 years, cause I haven't been here forever, and also it seems they're getting worse in the last few years, though maybe that's just my biased perception.

I think it's much simpler honestly: fires like these have been happening every year in California for the past hmm... at least 5 years, maybe more. Insurances are simply catching on and doing what any for-profit company would do in this situation, avoid losing money.

Same, I use the fpm-alpine image with mariadb, though if I had to start today I'd probably pick postgres instead. Other images are probably fine too.

She might have picked a side, but I can't be 100% sure of which one just from the lyrics. In fact, if anything, it seems she hasn't picked a side: she sides with one on some issues (e.g. Israel) and with the other on other issues (e.g. cancel culture).

As a result, she's probably angering both sides, which maybe was the whole point, who knows.

Alright, I know nothing about this person or the song, but I went to read the article to see where it says she is an "anti-vaxxer" and a "musk fan", as well as "against Israel's genocide":

In the song, May rails against "big pharma," a "man-made virus," "cancel culture," and a war that she brands "genocide."

This is the only passage I could find that remotely hints about her stance about those things and I see the controversial "man-made virus" line, but that just means she believes the virus was man-made, e.g. it came from Wuhan's lab, which is a hypothesis that was seriously considered, though still found less likely than the zoonotic one.

Nothing there says she's against vaccines. It does say she's against Israel's genocide though, assuming that's the war being referred here (lyrics seem to confirm that).

Searching for "vax" or "vaccine" in the entire article yields nothing.

Searching for "musk" yields this verse in the lyrics:

Mr. Musk, he said some s***, the lefts are angry

Which... doesn't seem to imply she's a fan either (she might be, mind you, but one can't conclude that from this article).

So, when reading an article, let's not extrapolate beyond what's reasonable.

That people who bought it can hopefully continue using it after the money runs out.

From the article:

It’s unclear whether that will change under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to run the US Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy has called for getting rid of dyes and other ingredients linked to cancer that can be found in food and has said the US needs tougher regulators that aren’t as close to the industries they police.

I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day ... hopefully he makes that happens.
