It’s totally achievable; he just glossed over the part where most of the world’s population is wiped out by global warming and the only people who survive are Elon and those he deems worthy.

Aliens (even illegal ones) are preferable to an asteroid strike, too.

Too bad they aren’t mutually exclusive.

It’ll be interesting to see what the other 18 do with the US and Russia out of the room. Possibly some real and dependable agreements can be hammered out.

We already know that Mar-a-Lago was a source for some of the girls that ended up on Epstein’s island.

ISPs route data packets between IP addresses; they don’t get to see the content of what I send/receive (it’s encrypted), and they don’t get domain info without deep packet inspection, because I don’t use their DNS servers.

It’s more like sometimes the city will put up speed cameras and ALPRs — but does that make them responsible for speeders?

You have a point about the DMCA though; I’ve had videos monetized by a third party because of music I wrote and performed myself — turned out, the company was stealing MY music and I got dinged for it.

Thanks for the direct headline; most of the others are just saying “announces retirement” which implies she’s retiring sometime reasonably soon.

Although I guess 2027 is soon when you’ve been doing something for 37 years….

Speaking as a religious person, that’s not the dangerous bit.

The dangerous bits are:

1. Having a world view that has motivations involving what you think will happen after you die
2. Believing what some rich and powerful person says your imaginary friend wants you to do instead of actually putting in the work to figure it out for yourself and apply some critical thought.

The times I’ve been caught in an airport brouhaha, you know what happened? They called out the National Guard.

Maybe that’s the end game here?

Other way around here… no taxation without representation. If they’ve shut everything down, they’re not representing their constituents, so there should be no tariffs/taxation until they come to an agreement.

Is that last 10% all about DRM and anti-cheat?

Is it a blind spot? They did discover and shut down those Chinese “police stations” in Germany….

Next up: no more license plates for their cars, and all the windows can be tinted.

Why am I getting the correct headline but a totally different article at that link?

It goes right into:

GOPer Joins Dems in Calling Out Trump Over Lack of Boat Strike Info

I think the first will be contingent on the second?

The writing was on the wall when Serif sold the product to Canva. We already knew Canva used a rent seeking model at the corporate level, so it didn’t really matter what promises they made about what they’d do with Affinity.

This frustrates me so much.

I paid for v1 and v2 of the suite precisely because I’m willing to pay for a tool that works for me, predictably and reliably and with no compromise in goals. Now I’ll have to switch platforms yet again, because they’re going to monetize somehow, and if it’s not by taking my money, it’ll be by taking something else.

Is Inkscape a reasonable replacement for Illustrator yet? Is there an equivalent for InDesign?

I don’t want to get stuck in a Canvas walled garden, and I’m not going to pay rent to use software.

I for one am perplexed; what is that company actually getting out of these affiliate signups? Even after people start paying, it’s costing them more than they’re making, and when they finally charge maintainable rates, everyone can just stop subscribing and lose nothing of value.

My regular walking speed is 8km/h… when I run distances it’s ~13km/h, and if I’m sprinting it can be over 20km/h.

They’re essentially saying the speed limit is set to swimming pool deck speeds.

I think the author has misunderstood what the phrase “it’s too bad” means when Trump says it.

“It’s too bad it isn’t me who owns that building” always meant he was going to do whatever it took to own the building, for example. It’s how he expresses his desire to have something at any cost.

Counterpoint to all of this:

Something I’ve noticed recently in the news is that ICE makes the headlines, and then when you dig down to the details, the real problem is often CBP or some other department that’s along for the ride. Difficult to tell, I’m sure, when everyone is masked and not wearing clear identification.

Just saying that abolishing ICE wouldn’t necessarily get rid of the problem, and I suspect that there’s still a chunk of ICE you never see because they’re actually doing the work they’re traditionally supposed to be doing.

The entire system needs to be fixed, not just abolishing one department that’s been co-opted as the poster boy for the abuse of the system.
