“We need better training data for our AIs. Let’s introduce some random scramble into search results, and when users have to hunt through the list and pick what they actually wanted instead of the top result, we can use those data to train the AI how to respond to those words when they come up in AI prompts.”

I also wonder how much a certain sponsor influence the video topic
Literally anything can influence the creator. I watch Max Miller’s Tasting History, and he’s unrepentant that he chooses certain foods to go with wine or coffee from his sponsors. But, he also makes entertaining history pieces to go with it, and that’s what I’m there for.
Jon Townsend will happily sell you reproduction kitchen equipment from his own store, which is heavily featured in the videos.
At the end of the day, creators have to get paid somehow. Sure, some creators are doing it for free because they have a day job, or whatever, but even then you can be pretty sure they won’t do anything to jeopardize their paycheck.
I think the most we can hope for is that creators tell us when they are are influenced by advertising.

FYI, the new official Office default is Aptos. I’ve been making work docs with it for a few weeks and I have to admit, it looks really clean and technical.

I’m curious – strong protectionism is usually associated with far-left pro-labor government. Free market economics and low tariffs (here in North America, policies like NAFTA for example) are more associated with centrist neoliberalism.
What makes you suggest that high import taxes are a neoliberal policy?

The differences between victim survey statistics and crime reporting statistics are not easy to explain. In the US, trends in victim reporting tend to lead law enforcement statistics by a year or two, which makes one wonder whether law enforcement is padding the numbers – either to make themselves look good (when crime is increasing according to victim reports and it would reflect badly on them if LE statistics followed suit), or to make themselves look necessary (when victim-reported crime is going down and LE statistics might make LE look redundant).
RC cars. I was into local club racing in the 90s, dropped out of it when my kids were born, now I’m getting back into it.
The technology improvements in power, battery capacity, and radios have been frankly astonishing. Setups that would have cost $1000+ back in the 90s come as ready-to-run kits for $200 now, and perform better.

Not so much a dog whistle, as a dog fog horn.
However, the statement “some white people aren’t white to racists” implies that skin color IS the defining concern. And the direct comparison of white-on-white mistreatment to white-on-nonwhite racist mistreatment is a grasp for moral equivalence.
If Irish immigrants were truly considered nonwhite, maybe they would have been hunted down and slaughtered like indigenous peoples, or separated from their children like African slaves. But these things did NOT happen, and I hold that it is inappropriate to describe the Irish as “not considered white”. Of course they were white. Nobody, not now and not in US history, would describe them as nonwhite. Sure, some people didn’t like the Irish, but that’s a far cry from considering them to be a different race or color.
Irish and Irish-descended could vote, they could go to court to seek redress of grievances, they could marry who they wished, they were not confined to reservations, they could have children without fearing that they would be taken away. Indigenous, African, and sometimes Latino and Asian peoples in the US did not always enjoy such rights, but white people almost always did.
I brought up chattel slavery because the commenter said, “in the US”, and the exemplar for white-on-nonwhite racism in the US is chattel slavery of black Africans. But if one prefers to consider the mistreatment of other nonwhite racial groups, you could certainly hold any of them up to the way Irish were treated, and I daresay that you would have a hard time finding any dimension of mistreatment in which Irish or other white minorities were treated worse than nonwhite peoples.
If Mr. Naumann’s company should make a boatload of cash while supporting his terrible political views, what’s the harm?

Fascists have always used racism as an excuse to define the enemy and back The Great Leader, even when the sides were ethnically similar. It’s not like Poland and France were full of non-white barbarian infiltrators in Europe in the 30s and 40s, but plenty of people used “preservation of the white race” as a reason to back the Nazis.
You should examine that claim critically. The idea that Irish indentured servants were mistreated similarly to their their non-white counterparts in chattel slavery is historical revisionism pushed by white supremacists.
I was ready to dismiss this as hyperbole – after all, there are INNUMERABLE ways that US equipment could make its way to Russian factories.
Then I read the words of the chairman of their board:
Hans Naumann (through interpreter):
I think that Trump, unlike many European politicians, has recognized that the white population must stand together. Americans, Europeans, Australians, they’re roughly 1.5 billion people, but Asians come to six billion.
In my opinion, the world’s demographics compel the two nuclear powers, that’s America and Russia, to stand together.
It turns out they shipped equipment directly from their German facilities to Russian military companies, potentially in violation of the 2014 sanctions.
