Das Bild zeigt eine abstrakte Kunstwerke mit einer vielfältigen Farbpalette, die von warmen Orangetönen über leuchtendes Gelb bis hin zu kühlen Blautönen reicht. Im Zentrum des Bildes befindet sich ein komplexes, mandala-artiges Muster, das mit feinen Linien und geometrischen Formen verziert ist. Die Muster sind in einem tiefen Lila gehalten und umgeben von einem leuchtenden, flammenartigen Hintergrund, der die Farben des Mandala hervorhebt. Im Hintergrund sind weitere, weniger ausgeprägte Muster und Formen zu sehen, die sich in einem verschwommenen, farbenfrohen Muster überlagern. Die gesamte Komposition vermittelt ein Gefühl von Bewegung und Energie, mit einer Mischung aus organischen und geometrischen Elementen, die ein harmonisches Gleichgewicht schaffen.

The City of Moreton Bay claims homeless people “consented” to having their tents and belongings – including a woman’s daughter’s ashes – thrown in the bin. This is what passes for policy now?
We’re criminalising poverty, bulldozing dignity, and calling it governance. Fines over $8,000 for sleeping rough, yet zero accountability for systemic failure.
If this is the norm, we’re in deep moral decline.

The image depicts a character standing in a cave-like environment. The character has a muscular build and is wearing a mask with a lion-like face, featuring prominent horns and a mane. The mask is yellow with a detailed design. The character's body is mostly bare, with a red sash around the waist and red wristbands. The legs are covered with red and black striped leggings, and the feet are bare. The character's hands are positioned on the hips, and the fingers are elongated with sharp claws. The background shows rocky walls and a small fire in a bowl, suggesting a primitive or ancient setting. The ground is uneven and covered with dirt and rocks, enhancing the cave atmosphere.

Grok, Elon Musk’s AI tool, spreads antisemitic conspiracies: The posts come after changes by Musk, who has previously made similar claims that Jews promote hatred toward white people
Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot owned by Elon Musk, responded to multiple users on X Tuesday with antisemitic claims, apparently as part of an update intended to make the tool “less politically correct.”In one instance, Grok’s account on X, formerly Twitter, claimed that a photograph of a woman was “Cindy Steinberg” and stated that she was “gleefully celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods.”
“And that surname? Every damn time, as they say.”

in reply to evacide • • •I've already removed Gemini via adb once. I'll do it again if it comes back after this forced opt-in.
I am not going to tell anyone that the Gemini app package is actually called com.google.android.apps.bard. I am also not advising anyone to follow these instructions:
1. Download and install ADB on your computer from the Android SDK Platform-Tools package
2. Enable Developer Options on your Android device:
3. Go to Settings > About phone > Software information
4. Tap "Build Number" seven times
5. Go to Settings > Developer options > USB debugging
6. Connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable
7. Open Command Prompt or Terminal in the folder where ADB is installed
8. Verify the connection via command prompt or terminal by running the command: adb devices
9. Then run one of the two following commands:
adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.bard
Or
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.bard
10. Then verify the package has been removed by running: adb shell pm list packages | grep bard
