Someday the US will hopefully do an ancient-Egypt style cleansing project, where his disgraced name will be chiselled off of every edifice and building, save one, where a plaque sits below, spelling out the sheer disaster of his legacy; where people may read of his misdeeds, but never again need to otherwise hear or see his name again.
I hope in his last days he is told of how the world is already working to utterly erase his stain on history, to be forgotten save for its use as a cautionary tale.
She says that the original architect and contractors who do ballroom-type projects were quietly replaced after the initial announcement by ones who have a long history of designing military datacenters, far underground, for governments such as the US and Israel. Also no contractors for things like chandeliers, gold-trim etc. are on the project, which seems strange if the main point is the ballroom. The budget quoted is almost, dollar-for-dollar, the same amount as for a recent underground datacenter project recently completed elsewehere in the US.
As well, the East Wing was blocking access to add onto a pre-existing underground bunker complex beneath the West Wing, so demolishing it would allow for additions to that...
Oh, and some emergency orders for huge modifications to the DC water supply in order to increase availability to the WH property. Data centers need lots and lots of water.
Can't be.. No one has ever seen a Grue. Grues hide in the darkest places, waiting to eat foolhardy adventurers who have no light source in their inventory.
I have dabbled in APL, and it can be written either as 'line noise' like this, or as readable as any other language, with comments, control blocks and clear variable names. Let's just say I have ... opinions on tacit programming like this.
I hope they succeed. Given Alphabet/Google's recent moves to try and lock Android's app ecosystem down and them just generally becoming more Evil every day, GrapheneOS and LineageOS etc. may be living on borrowed time.
I watched a video reviewing some phones smuggled out of North Korea a few days ago and it's truly scary what the endgame of locked mobile phones looks like and given the trends worldwide towards authoritarianism, we're frogs being boiled slowly toward the same situation.
Good. The more projects that move off of github, the better. It's a dangerous dependency-sinkhole at this point, and has been for some time. De-centralize!
Oh, definitely rose-coloured, but I am thinking even before those days... like when access to Usenet was restricted to colleges and universities, dial-up BBSes ... and I didn't use Windows or MacOS at all back then. ActiveX and js didn't even exist back then. Boot-sector floppy viruses did, but those were easy to guard against.
To be fair, yes, it was originally the Dept. of War. It actually is more honest. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, yadda yadda.
