I generally agree with you, and I would also add that the DNC has been happy to go along with the Republican party to advance corporate interests.

It’s not like we didn’t know a lot of the tactics that the Republican party has employed for the last 30 years. These aren’t giant secrets, and they could be combated, except most Washington Democrats don’t want to, presumably because their corporate backers don’t want to.

Precisely. Harris enabled her opponent to win by having a weak stance on Israel. She handed him the keys to the White House, as the article clearly describes, by not standing up and speaking out against genocide.

No. They didn’t try to show her anything, because they don’t care about her ego. Why would they?

There is no point. There are billions of points, because there are billions of people, and that’s the point.

You know that there are hundreds or thousands of reasonable uses of generative AI, whether it’s customer support or template generation or brainstorming or the list goes on and on. Obviously you know that. So I’m not sure that you’re asking a meaningful question. People are using a tool to solve various problems, but you don’t see the point in that?

If your position is that they should use other tools to solve their problems, that’s certainly a legitimate view and you could argue for it. But that’s not what you wrote and I don’t think that’s what you feel.

From an advertising perspective, it’s important to think about who you’re targeting. Who are your likely customers? Certainly there are some based on the strengths that you raised.

However, some people are definitely not a good target audience, and some people is actually a very large group of people. There are a lot of current and potential users who essentially want the standard major applications to work, and they’re not going to touch the root partition, and they want things to be very simple. For people like that, Debian or Ubuntu or Fedora already do what they want. And these major operating systems have been around for so long that people will naturally be more confident using them, because they were their friends have experience, or because they think the organization has more stability because of its experience.

Of course a lot of things depend on how you define words, but to me the above paragraph describes the mainstream audience, and I don’t think you’re going to have much luck reaching them, because I don’t think the thing you’re trying to sell gives them extra value. In other words, it’s not solving a problem for them, so why should they care.

Many sites work best with NoScript because the anti AdBlock is done by JavaScript.

(Of course that doesn’t always work, but when it does, great.)

Not the first. Remember Nixon?

$20 is not worth the time to plan anything, let alone create it. Just consider the hourly.

Making the existence of the switch public is often something you don’t want. It allows others to do troubleshooting in advance. It also destroys your reputation with many people who might otherwise work with you.

If you are content to keep things secret, share the documents with several different friends or law firms in several different countries along with conditions for release. Don’t tell them or everyone who all has the documents. That sounds relatively simple.

Everything relies on someone caring, in this context.

You’re allowed to say it, even believe it. But your analysis is faulty. Please add a little context and youll see why. Trust to do what? Corrupt with what goals? It seems you have no idea…

Trump can fuck with NATO or not, but those countries have nukes. Western Europe is not Ukraine. His military leverage is lacking.

What does your question mean? What is “people are worse”?

Cops are bad everywhere. They will ally themselves with anyone who is rich and powerful. Cops don’t care what party the judge or mayor is in, because power is the point.

Non-white people who physically resist the pigs or open carry, for example, know that there’s an extra high chance the racist pigs will smoke them. At the same time, they get targeted more just because of their appearance. So the data on who acts in what ways around cops is skewed in weird ways.

What are you talking about? YouTube? The Pirate Bay? The radio? I’m honestly don’t understand why these sites don’t count.

I don’t see the necessity to show that SB 14 is overbroad. The doctor only needs to establish that the drugs were reasonably (or arguably reasonably) prescribed for the claimed use, right? That is a much simpler goal.

Again, verbal assurances mean nothing, especially if they know the issue has internal political implications as this one obviously does. And even if they believe you, that doesn’t mean they trust your boss, so anything they say could still burn them later. Words alone can’t resolve this dilemma.

Also, has anyone tried what you’re trying before? If so, maybe you’re struggling because of past failure, not your fault but still your problem now.

Verbal assurances mean little to many. At least put it in an email. Otherwise CYA dominates.

Not true. Their hands were tied. Same with the prosecutors. This was their best.

The judge could try to give him jail time, but we all know that some appeals court would throw it out, and there’s a risk that they might also throw out the verdict with it. So it’s safer to go with an empty sentence.

What a f****** terrible way to write a headline. But at least the author is honest about their political views.
