What it is is the data they funneled from the NLRB and social security and others. See the hackathon at SSA last weekend of palantir being “evaluated” as a possible third party vendor. No contract signed. They just took the data. The NLRB whistleblower story is terrifying. They literally deleted the logs after doge visited.

Not sure if you’re putting a joke on a joke but these are the Three Stooges.

Hey gamers: try bazzite Linux and you won’t ever have to worry about this. Try bringing one old machine over as a test and you’ll see for yourself.

I got it running in an afternoon recently. It reads all your windows docs off an external backup. The desktop version really can be a daily driver. The update script is a single click. Genuinely worth considering if you want at least some of your computer usage to not be recorded 24/7.

People have? The doge team have us Marshalls that let them in and push the staffers out of the way. It’s happened at the IRS, USAID, and others.

(I honestly don’t know, just trying to ask the room)

Ah dang. Very cool though. Crazy collection. They also had the ice pick that killed Trotsky and an ENIGMA machine… (I think maybe both of those are the real things)

You can go see it in person in the spy museum in Washington DC!

It’s not like the Bible was translated to English until centuries later when England became a thing. You’re complaining about a letter in an alphabet that wasn’t relevant yet.

Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ יֵשׁוּעַ

Greek: Ἰησοῦς

Aramaic: Iēsous

Latin (maybe you’ll like this more?): IESVS

This makes a lot of sense and I wouldn’t have thought about it.

Could you offer any tips about recording ambient tone? Just like some omnidirectional mics in the space for 5-10 minutes? Or just the same mics you use for performers or the field recording (eg shotgun mics)?
