The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded"

Other alternatives exist too, Fluxer is an example. It's free and open source on top of that.

I'm pretty sure at this point this isn't them being stupid but intentionally disingenuous.

โ€œNever believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.โ€

Seeing as there is an influx of people having bigoted Warhammer opinions recently, you should always remember this Sartre quote.

It was made about antisemites but it applies to pretty much every reactionary you will encounter online. They know they're being absurd, it's part of their tactic.

The revival of this style of light and a bunch of other extinct animation techniques would be the beginning of the good timeline in my eyes.

Drew me and my girlfriend Laura to celebrate not just Valentine's Day, but 10 years together. She is my best friend, my biggest supporter, and one of the sweetest and most talented people I have ever met.

Love you so much, Laura! Thank you for 10 wonderful years together. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’–

Frequently wrong about themselves
Sure, there are complex psychological issues at play, but surely people can at least be trusted to tell you about themselves, right? Unfortunately not.

A particular AAA developer I know of once sent surveys to 1000 players asking them which game they had played the most, then compared it with the data of what they had actually played. Not a single one answered correctly.

Zero out of one thousand players could remember their own habits enough to tell which game theyโ€™d played the most. Player answers were so consistently wildly wrong that the team involved thought that their data must have been corrupted. Upon validating that it was in fact accurate, they went back to the players and told them what their actual most played games were, and every single one said something along the lines of โ€œOH! Right. Well, that makes senseโ€.

When people tell you things theyโ€™re really telling you the stories they tell themselves about themselves, and those stories may not have anything at all to do with reality.

I truly wish the โ€œblue no matter whoโ€ contingent would just shut up until after the primary and let people who want a better candidate call for one in peace instead of screaming about how we all need to slobber daddy newsomโ€™s hog before heโ€™s declared or else weโ€™re somehow fascist.

there has been a steady drip of people moving over. Its not flashy like any of the large surges but it is significant in my book. bluesky really needs to capitalize on this because at this point twitter is giving this site its 87th chance at putting in the killshot

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home.
