Let me help rephrase for you Bernie.
Need a loan for college so you can party for a semester and drop out? Taxpayers will loan you money for it.
Need an SBA loan for your business ? Taxpayers will guarantee it.
For a house ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. And local gov will give you money for your first down payment !
Get sick or are in an accident and you can’t afford your deductible, insurance company denied prescribed care or are uninsured ?
You are on your own 😤
Let me add Bernie, the one debt not a single one of us will ever pay off till the day we die ? Our health insurance premiums
And before you go in and on about single payer, ask @claudeai to take a look at your proposed Single Payer legislation.
You want the Sec of HHS to run it. You can’t have a political appointee run an apolitical position
And you expect every provider and doctor to accept whatever rate is set by Medicare. Big hospitals don’t know their costs. They couldn’t do a BOM for any procedure. They have negligible transparency.
If they don’t know their costs, and you don’t know their costs, how is it possible for taxpayers, caregivers and patients to get a fair deal ?
And the concept of “every other country does it “ ignores the fact that they all converted decades and decades ago, long before you and your peers allowed the extreme vertical integration we face now.
Which leads to the question. @BernieSanders , why have you not advocated for the Break Up Big Medicine Bill ?
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders
Health care? "You're on your own." Housing? "Nothing we can do." Grocery prices? "You're out of luck." $200 billion for another war? "No problem!" Americans—Democrats, Republicans, independents—are SICK AND TIRED of endless wars. We need to invest here at home.

@dinocres1 @heyandras @AnthropicAI No idea how people are using up their 20x. I have pro and get lots of progress done before hitting limits.
English

@heyandras @AnthropicAI I read so much about this... I was planning to move my small $20 subscription from Cursor to Anthropic, but watching people on 20x hit the limits so quickly makes me think a $20 is totally useless, and not paying another $200.
English

As a Max 20x user (and sponsored OSS dev) I hit the limit in an hour (or less).
I knew this was coming sooner or later, but the execution is the worst it could be.
I don't often lose trust in SaaS, but @AnthropicAI make it easy.
Luckily I already had a plan for this. 🤘

To manage growing demand for Claude we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During weekdays between 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT, you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before.

I reimplemented "claude" CLI with codex and gpt-5.4-high. It cost $1100 in tokens, and is 73% faster and 80% lower resident memory during sustained interactive use.
It is very easy to reverse claude from npm distribution, then reimplement is 1:1. It is indistinguishable from the Anthropic version to the every header and analytics it send back

In the dead of night, with only five senators present on the floor and no one there to object, the Senate rushed through a DHS funding bill that deliberately left ICE and CBP unfunded.
Now, they are leaving town.
No SAVE America Act. ICE and CBP unfunded.
Senate Republicans just gave the Democrats everything they wanted and more.

@RealToasterBoi @uwukko I have absolutely no issues with it, and I’ve been using it for over a year now. I love that you can customize the order of search results to show sites you trust at the top

@iAnonymous3000 Again as it says in the privacy policy no data is shared or sold to any company. It is only for counting users. Also, do you not have a problem with brave sending way more data than that? #privacy-preserving-product-analytics" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">brave.com/privacy/browse…

vivaldi[.]com/source/ gives you the Chromium base and Vivaldi's opensource contributions. That covers roughly 95% of the codebase.
The other ~5%, the UI layer, is closed-source and released only in obfuscated form. Vivaldi themselves acknowledge this and confirm that some security-relevant code lives there. So no, you cannot "just read the source" for the parts that actually matter to this discussion.
The point is that their privacy policy describes a persistent unique ID sent every 24 hours alongside CPU architecture, screen resolution, browser version, and timing data - with no documented user opt-out. The truncated IP is just one element of what's collected. Pointing to it alone understates what's actually being sent.
English

Vivaldi calls itself a browser that "doesn't track you" and is "privacy by design." But the technical reality tells us a different story.
Vivaldi's own browser privacy policy says each installation profile is assigned a unique user ID and sends it to Vivaldi every 24 hours, together with version/build info, CPU architecture, screen resolution, time since last message, and an approximate location derived from a truncated IP. Vivaldi has said in blog and forum posts that the ID remains to improve the accuracy of active-user counts.
Vivaldi is also NOT fully auditable. The company says roughly 92% of the browser is opensource Chromium, 3% is opensource Vivaldi code, and about 5% is a closed-source UI layer released only in obfuscated form.
Vivaldi also says some security-relevant code lives in that UI. That means outsiders cannot independently audit the entire browser.
The defaults are NOT especially hardened for privacy either.
Out of the box, Vivaldi retains several Chromium-style behaviors: Google Safe Browsing is enabled, Google-backed services power some features, WebRTC remains on, and third-party cookies are only blocked by default in Private Windows (not regular browsing).
Its built-in ad blocker is NOT maximally strict by default, and Vivaldi's own documentation notes that ads from certain partner search engines may still be allowed unless you disable the relevant list.
Then there is Direct Match. Vivaldi describes it as a clearly labeled sponsored-suggestion feature that matches locally - but clicking it can trigger a background attribution request and may involve affiliate-network cookies. That can be disabled, and it is not the same thing as typing being silently sent to a partner. But it is still monetized navigation inside a browser marketed around privacy.
Vivaldi says Safe Browsing works through downloaded lists and limited hash-based checks rather than sending Google a raw record of every page you visit.
Broad claims like "no state partitioning" or "version lag automatically means unpatched CVEs" overreach. Vivaldi currently tracks Chromium Extended Stable with backported fixes.
"privacy-first" should mean verifiable architecture, privacy-preserving defaults, and minimal unavoidable identifiers.

@iAnonymous3000 You can just read the source for yourself if you don't trust it. vivaldi.com/source/ Vivaldi's business model is not collecting or selling data. That truncated ip is for exactly what it says in the privacy policy, user counts without double counting.
English

Vivaldi's own privacy policy says it collects a persistent unique user ID plus browser version, CPU architecture, screen resolution, and timing data every 24 hours - with no user opt-out.
They said in 2019 they were working toward removing the unique ID. Their current privacy policy still says it's sent.
It's clearly more than a simple anonymous count.
English

@iAnonymous3000 You actually can't make this up. He uses brave 💀

@iAnonymous3000 Your mad vivaldi is counting their number of users?

@TheBobPony It's funny they have to say "non profit backed" because Mozilla Corp is a for profit company owned by the nonprofit Mozilla foundations. Super shady

@TernsCheese Why are there no NA-E servers for zero builds. I keep getting put in Texas servers.

I have played Fortnite almost every single day since 2019.
I am in the top 0.001% of playtime with over 40,000+ hours logged.
I am one of the most dedicated and loyal players of all time, so it truly breaks my heart to say all of this.
Since the start of Chapter 7, it’s been an absolute NIGHTMARE. Epic made unnecessary changes to the UI, pointless mechanics, negative matchmaking changes, the list just goes on and on.
Almost every one of my friends who I’ve played this game with for years have all had such little motivation to play Fortnite since the start of this season, and I see many other people with the same opinions. As of now, the game is at a very low point, in terms of both player base and community feedback.
Now Epic have reduced the amount of V-Bucks you get from not only the Battle Pass, but from March 19 onward, each V-Buck bundle gives less too.
They claim it’s because “the cost of running Fortnite has gone up a lot”, but it’s Epic themselves who are ruining their own game.
Mass firing employees leads to much less quality work internally, and as a result, the game is impacted negatively.
The Discovery tab has been flooded with the same deceptive, spammy, and just straight up SCAMMING maps.
Little to no moderation at all, from sketchy maps, to aimbotters and hackers running rampant in Battle Royale with little punishment, the game is at an all time low.
Something has to change soon, because from the way me and many others see the recent changes and updates, Epic is digging their own grave and we’re just watching it all unfold.

I don’t understand.
This stuff is real, it exists, you can actually buy it, and yet the VR market is almost dead.
What happened to the kids in the 90s who dreamed about this possibility? Why do modern kids now go crazy for games where you don’t really do anything, where at most you just swipe up and down, or spend their time screaming in stupid games that require no concentration, like amoebas with no curiosity? This stuff finally f***ing exists, and yet the videogame market pretends it’s invisible.
F***! F***! F***! In 1998, when we were 13 playing Resident Evil 2 on the PlayStation with my friends, we would have killed to be able to play something like this.
