  • We’ll have to see if it’s enough to help tip the scales.

    If Trump and Musk have their way, November 2024 was the last time they will be using scales.

  • Mozilla has one too. And Fastmail. You can invent a different email address for every site, then block the ones that get spammed.

  • These are the people that tend to push cryptocurrencies too. Apparently their scam-o-vision only kicks in when the "scam" helps the poor.

  • as angry customers revolt against the CEO’s involvement in a chaotic restructuring of the federal government.

    That and his Nazism.

  • Being quite dim and narcissistic, Trump may not be aware that he's consistently doing Putin's bidding. If Russia can get intermediaries to put the right words in Trump's ear, they could play Trump while letting him believe he's just having his own brilliant ideas.

  • The only way Trump's actions make any consistent sense as all is as an attempt to ruin the USA and its allies for the benefit of Vladimir Putin. There's just no other theory that explains all the data points.

  • Whatever "emergency" they can dream up: immigrants, wokeism, trans people taking over the universe, people asking them to stop being assholes, fentanyl, Canada existing, brown people having jobs, etc.

  • This will continue until they we all die.

    FTFY

  • The clock is ticking down on a crucial but little-noticed part of President Donald Trump’s first round of executive orders — the one tasking the secretaries of the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to submit a joint report, within 90 days, recommending “whether to invoke the Insurrection Act.”

    Many of us are now holding our collective breath, knowing that the report and what it contains could put us on the slippery slope toward unchecked presidential power under a man with an affinity for ironfisted dictators.

    Adding to the suspense was the recent “Friday Night Massacre” at the Pentagon — the firing of the nation’s top uniformed officer and removing other perceived guardrails (i.e., the top uniformed lawyers at the Army, Navy and Air Force) standing between the president and his long-stated intention to declare martial law upon returning to power.

  • Ah there goes another thing that distinguished the USA from China and Russia.

  • The Democrats seem to have come up with two strategies so far: either (1) wait and hope someone does something, or (2) play dead and hope someone does something.

  • It's hard to fathom how deeply these people don't care about anyone else, or anything else, but themselves.

  • "Efficiency" is just a word they throw in to distract. None of this is about efficiency, and everything they're doing is the opposite of efficient.

    It's just the bad new manager who wants to "shake things up" to make their mark, without first bothering to understand how anything works. Going through life with no clue but a baseless assumption that they always know better. Except this is across the whole federal government and the new manager is a Nazi.

  • I have never seen this happen, and I don't know what tools would confuse the strings "null" or "Null" with NULL. From the comments in this thread, there are evidently more terribly programmed systems than I imagined.

  • That doesn't sound at all like an efficient way to go about things.

  • It's regrettable that Obsidian isn't open source. But the nice thing about it is that its data store is just a bunch of markdown files in a folder structure, and very easily migrated to any other application. They may have the code but they don't take the data hostage like a lot of commercial software does.

  • Quick poll: how many Americans here have been terrorized by violent criminals, gang members, drug traffickers or human smugglers lately? According to the MAGA leaders it's a huge problem, so I expect lots of people will have encountered it, right?
