James Gunn's new "Superman" film debuts next week. "While the likes of Batman and Wolverine are popular because they break the rules, Superman has to be a law-abiding, upstanding all-American Mr. Nice Guy," Nicholas Barber writes. But that hasn't always been the case for Man of Steel. Read more from @BBCNews:

Apparently someone can't say "Linux" without getting a lecture about "No, it's GNU/Linux, you stupid!"
And people wonder why Linux is only at ~5% market share on Desktop...
It's all about how welcome you feel: If you feel like you've just "invaded" someone's "holy place", then this doesn't feel so welcome, does it!?

Just when you convinced yourselves YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ⁉️
MR. #TRUMP DO NOT let ' #MUSK the #RETARD ' DESTROY OUR COUNTRY 🦅 to #NO_RETURN!
🔥 Soon YOU WLL realize that all 🇱🇷 #USA_CODE is all #CORRUPTED based on belief systems of #FOREIGN_CULTURES who wrote the CODE ( #FLAWED CORE LOGIC TO BEGIN WITH); rendering all of IT #UNSECURED IMHO.
* How do you think we ALWAYS DOMINATED GOOGLE last 20 years❓
* HOW DO YOU THINK WE TOOK DOWN GOOGLE AI 3 TIMES ❓
Bc THIER 🇮🇳 CODE WAS #FLAWED 🚔 FROM THE GETGO!.
Anything Plugged in after the fact will NOT FIT (EG: ROUND PEGS DO NOT FIT INTO SQUARE WHOLES) #WITHOUT #SOUND_CORE_LOGIC CODED in the 1st Place...🥇
Just one quick look at ELON MUSKS #AUTO_PILOT CODE in Tesla SAYS IT ALL! And why you have 🛬 BOEING AIRLINERS CRASHING 💥 EVERYDAY LIKE YOU CHANGING YOUR #UNDERWEAR?
Only one question?? WHERE ARE THE #PILOTS??
ONLY HIRE 🦅 #USA_ENGINEERS.
#VET_REAL_PATRIOTS (ENGINEERS) over time 🦅
NOT FAKE!
THEY WILL GET BETTER ON THE JOB! 💼 THIS #LOSER MUSK AND THAT OTHER #GREASE_BALL WILL TAKE YOU DOWN 👎 and this country TO NO RETURN!
🃏 DO NOT be Fooled! You are listening to a #CNBC A 🇮🇱 #ISRAELI TERRORIST 🌐 NETWORK (aka #DISINFORMATION Proxy #Propaganda Machine out of CNBC (DISINFORMATION PROXY_WAR_CHANNEL) = aka Israeli #TERRORISTS 👹 .
✝️ Allow us to EXPLAIN. WE have been outsourcing TALENT since 1999. There is no company with more experience in OUTSOURCING than #TastingTraffic LLC 🌐 #Internationally for #ONLINE_BUSINESSES.
We were DEEP into #Advanced_Technologies at the same time when we could not help but notice this COUNTRY 🦅 #STIFLING THE AMERICAN CITIZENS ABILITY TO KEEP UP WITH CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE! >> 25 years #AGO!? >>
>>We tested all countries. We were the first to HIRE INDIAN PROGRAMMERS LONG before ANY USA BIG TECH--until we caught them #lying..
WE LEARNED that Lying in INDIA IS CONSIDERED GOOD BUSINESS #ETHICS?? It gets worse. It's PART OF THEIR #CULTURE and acceptable??
MANY 💩 💩 💩 #ELITES (FLYING TO 🇮🇳 INDIA DURING THIS TIME GETTING THEIR #KINKS 👙 ON. GOT MASSIVE PROOF TOO;);)🔍
..will soon realize that all their code is CORRUPTED bc there #CULTURE HAS BEEN PROJECTED into their #PROGRAMMING_CODE??? rendering all OF IT #UNSECURED IMHO;)
Now India has BACKED #BRICS.. hMMM? Because they know all USA code is corrupted. #INDIA LEFT A #BACK_DOOR_BONANZA FOR FUTURE 🔮 USA #COMPROMISES.
#ALLIES HUH?
We left 🇮🇳 India for this reason 15 years ago..
#Google is Poisoning their OWN DATA Rendering #AD_WORDS ADVERTISING #Targeting OBSOLETE! And they don’t even know it… see below.
What happened to #DEEP_MIND? and/or #LaMDA? Etc. etc. #TastingTraffic LLC SHUT THEM BOTH DOWN!;) #Overnight! for the 3rd time;)
TastingTraffic LLC debunked Google Long ago >> #many_times.
In Fact, in 2007 they turned into a dedicated PAY PER CLICK ENGINE for the FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES (aka ILLEGAL #EXCLUSION | #SHERMAN #ANTI_TRUST VIOLATIONS UP THE YING YANG)☯️ ..
Google still under #ANTI_TRUST investigation by the CROOKED #Biden_Administration--that will Never Be Finalized??
PROOF of more #Israeli_Terrorists Meddling #behind_the_scenes.
We have 100% Proof and Evidence that the #State of #ISRAEL has Stolen your #Personal_Data as well as your #Intellectual_Property DATA Worldwide. ( by #Oracle a #Jewish_Owned Fortune 500 Company ?? no less.)
Confirmation of an Illegal Major Concealment & COVER-UP CRIME(s) over the last 7,300 days / 2 decades / 20 years??
Do not use #USPTO #Patent_office for anything. They are stealing your IP through USPTO by #TROLLS (aka usa patent attorneys).
bc 'THEY' cannot INNOVATE ANYTHING!
If it doesn't spew out of the ground or fall off a tree. All they know how to do IS CHANGE THE NAME and RE-BRAND the same TECH through #HYPE under a different name over and over again (LIKE #PARROTS 🦜 ) to cover their #UNENDING_FAILURES!
And that my friends is the REAL TRUTH behind #Israeli #AI_USA_TECH.
🇮🇱 They #sacrificed 1200 JEWS (#BREACHED_SECURITY WAS 100% due to corrupted ALGORITHMS w/o Human SUPERVISION?? Proof of #MAJOR #SOFTWARE_INCOMPETENCIES)
ANYONE could have BREACHED that WALL-- NOT just HAMAS!
REMEMBER #Colonial_Pipeline (MORE BRAINDEAD NAZI's #KOCH BROS.??) WERE Using a Compromised (WEAK) Password??
Any #UNETHICAL_HACKER could get in. Why? Because there is NO SOUND CODE!! ( #AI is a #Fantasy ) >> AI CANNOT AND I REPEAT CANNOT operate and/or function as intended #UNSUPERVISED >> WITHOUT 24/7 #HUMAN_SUPERVISION.
Proof Israeli's #Engineers GRANDIOSE_CLAIMS 🏴☠️ Murdered their own #Citizens!
(DavidV exp. 200K Project management hours under belt since 1999)
They MURDERED their own people--if the TRUTH BE TOLD! And the Jewish Citizens TRUSTED them and many unfortunately were Killed >> then tried to place the BLAME on others??
At the cost of 40,000 INNOCENT murder Victims (Civilians NO LESS #BURNING_CHILDREN_ALIVE FOR THE LAST YEAR??)
How much do the Israeli Zionist Value an #American Life?? .. $0.00 USD!
But they need our #Tax_Dollars to #Survive?? Hmm.. Who wants to pay taxes now to #FUND_GENOCIDE 🩸 🇵🇸 of #Children!?

Google’s new?? #Gemini_AI_model (aka FAKED!) is getting a mixed reception after its big debut last month, but users may have #less_confidence in the company’s tech or integrity after #finding_out that the most impressive demo of Gemini WAS PRETTY MUCH FAKED!
Static Page: Google’s best Gemini demo was faked.
https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/googles-best-gemini-demo-was-faked/
ACTUAL #FAKED_VIDEO HERE: Hands-on with Gemini: Interacting?? ( BULLSH*T! ) with #FAKE_COPYCAT AI..??
Just 2 BIG problems:
1. The video isn’t real. “We created the demo by capturing footage in order to test Gemini’s capabilities..
2. Google is Poisoning their OWN_DATA Rendering #AD_WORDS #ADVERTISING #Targeting OBSOLETE! Aka #USELESS
..And 'THEY' don’t even know it...

I'd like to take 2 seconds this morning and thank all the #commons janitors who do the ungrateful and unseen work of trying to increase #fedi's #cohesion and #culture.
#Janitors are #People who find it important to connect people. They spread bits of #information they find to other people for whom it may be useful. Usually in hopes that #attraction occurs between formerly unrelated parties, such as #stimulating a #collaboration between #fediverse projects.
Janitors *weave* #SocialFabric.. ✊
