Nobody is asking but I think it’s worth saying: Jesus Christ is the son of God and is the only way to the Father. There’s no other way to heaven but by putting your faith in Jesus and no one is required as an intermediary to talk to Him. And He’s on His way back. Don’t delay

It’s happening NOW. The signs that the Lord gave us are coming to fruition NOW. They are mapping humanity for the beast system as we speak. We ARE the final generation. Repent now and accept the free gift that Christ offers or spend eternity where we all deserve.

What wrong with the uk government’s desire to take control of our kid’s access to social media? Seems reasonable. It’s actually got several problems and also has some much simpler solutions than a blanket ban. youtu.be/bYpXg2wJ7XQ?si=9W1U…

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys. I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint. Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality. I breed and keep 20 different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths. White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral" You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

Breaking: Your smart TV takes a screenshot of your screen twice every second and sells what it sees. It is called ACR, and it has been running since you set the TV up. Texas already sued over it. Here is how to turn it off in under 2 minutes:

do you understand what just happened to your computer.. Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you.. It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI. And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened. Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit. At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet. The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year. Check your disk right now: 📁 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel To stop it: chrome://flags → disable Optimization Guide On Device Model → restart Chrome → delete the folder. Reshare so people know what's sitting on their computers.
Google Chrome is quietly downloading a roughly 4 GB AI model to many users’ computers without clear upfront consent. The file, called weights.bin, is part of Google’s Gemini Nano on-device language model and lands in the browser’s user data folder under OptGuideOnDeviceModel. It powers built-in AI tools such as “Help me write,” smarter tab suggestions, on-device scam detection, and page summarization. The download triggers automatically for devices meeting minimum hardware requirements, and Chrome often replaces the files if deleted. While the model processes data locally, installation happens in the background with minimal notification. The scale is noteworthy. Hundreds of millions or billions of installations add up to thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions globally from data transfer, even though each is a one-time event. To prevent or remove it, go to chrome://flags, disable the entries for the optimization guide on-device model and Prompt API, restart the browser, and manually delete the folder.

We’ve had access to an engineering sample of the new Framework Laptop 13 Pro for about a month ahead of the announcement, and our biggest takeaway is this: it finally feels like a genuinely premium Framework. The first thing that stood out to us was the build quality. We (1/8)

Where are the raves and the dancing? Where are the flags and the Spice Girls? Where are the fags and the drinking? Where are the laughing and the sitcoms? Where are the honoured and respected? They have passed They have passed like rain on the mountain They have passed like wind in the meadow The sun has gone down in the West In to shadow.

Exactly. Pensions are not a pot to be raided when incompetent governments can't balance their books.

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history. Media giants are now threatening to do this. We can't let this happen. Pass it on.
