For now.

I hate how “Maybe later” has replaced “No. Don’t ask me again.”

Enshitification at its best.

Conservative MAGA Americans

I don’t think so. I just rewatched it. It’s the one where Data finds out something to make himself more human. Picard tells him something profound and moving.

The one where there’s a problem with the holodeck.

I’d say the crime he committed was thinking Trump would keep his promise even after bribing him.

How anyone can trust this motherfucker is beyond me.

From your links:

Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.

Original indictment:

These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.

Make it make sense

“Not world changing” is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.

Which…is absolutely wild. The government should absolutely be funding vulnerability research. If anything so that they can exploit them.

But I suspect they are taking the corporate approach. The foundation is going to do the research anyway and publish it widely. Just take advantage while adding nothing of value in return.

God I hate this fucking timeline.

I mean, that’s sort of a gimmie with swasticars.

This is going to be another Panama files isn’t it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.

There should be a second sticker being covered under white that reads “rich”.

I have a stupid question: how did El Salvador even agree to this? Like what mechanism allowed Republicans to send people there to begin with?

Not that I disagree with your point, but Florida law is only relevant within Florida and, to a limited extent, the United States. Admins of US-based instances could likely be subpoenaed and then held in contempt if they refused, assuming they don’t pull a PornHub and just block all of Florida.

That said, this is very worrying since subpoenas have a MUCH lower threshold of legal bearing than warrants. I suspect that Apple will likely challenge this in court or they stop selling iPhones there.

Right. I was probably being a bit clunky.

Imagine a label under Trump that says “World War 3”

Who would have thought that Trump was being literal here.

His billionaire donors certainly are.

To a certain extent, honor among thieves typically only exists within their own group.

The administration is setting things up so their grifters won’t get charged.

If someone grifted them, the FBI would absolutely investigate them.

Our entire human history is littered with oppression of “the other”. I could argue that cooperation and trying to recover from oppression is not only rare but relatively new in comparison.

I personally believe that we as humans should strive to better ourselves. However, there are large groups of people who would rather that they win and even larger groups of people that want to see others lose.

And unfortunately those two groups are incompatible in a society.

It looks like outerbase studio is primarily written in typescript where adminer is php.

Nixon was the starting domino. You can draw a straight line from Nixon to Trump.

You could go all the way to the Three-Fifths Compromise honestly but it’s not as clear of a line but the components are certainly there.
