The state of Trump’s USA shows what happens when lies go unchecked…

We can’t have that here

For the first time in years, we have a shot at stopping that culture from taking root

A LAW IS ON THE TABLE TO MAKE IT A CRIMINAL OFFENCE FOR POLITICIANS TO DELIBERATELY LIE

Steve Jobs called the computer a "bicycle for the mind." Now, the tech giants are selling it for parts. πŸš²πŸ“‰

An essential read on the death of general-purpose computing, the rise of digital "appliances," and why we’re losing control of our tools.

If he loses in May, he will need to go. He has until then to turn things around, and he really needs to stand up to Trump at a minimum.

He needs to pick a side and build from there. He is an old-fashioned pluralist in the age of binary politics.

In the age of polarised politics, he is unable to align with any side. Pluralism truly seems to be dead.

The right dislikes him because they believe he is too far to the left, the left dislikes him because they believe he is too far to the right, and the centre doesn't like him because he lacks a clear vision for the UK.

Fxxk off Farage.
Everything he says, like 'the will of the people', a big fat LIE.
Brexit proves NOT to trust him - he's the Brexit arsonist.
His lies sold πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ an act of self harm; 9 years on, he's a multi millionaire, ordinary people struggle
πŸ™ wake up reject rich r/wing MSM who back liar Farage

Nigel Farage Claims Racism Allegations Against Him Might Actually Be Boosting Reform The Reform UK leader they may be "solidifying our core support".

Farage confirms his party is a bunch of disgusting racists.

This is what he wants an army of far right thugs to terrorise the British public. If he ever gets in power he will deploy them like Trump has done with ICE.

Just heard Farage's new year message.
He seems to be positioning himself as the last chance to restore 'values'.

Seriously, this fucking guy?

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

After finally switching to local open-source AI, I've found that once it's all set up, it performs similarly to chatGPT in everyday use. However, plugging it into your preferred closed model can enhance its capabilities for more complex tasks.
