> So you stop and resent the companies for ripping you off/manipulating you

It will probably work for both sides, as the only people left are either ok with that or clueless, perfectly self selected.

Just looking at a few previous issues:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/905#note_243...

> modifications or misuse by an operator could nevertheless turn the ADS into a more damaging weapon which could potentially violate international conventions on warfare

Safe? When manned by actors known to shoot journalists in the head with “less lethal” weapons?

> they just need to find a local young person that is willing to help them handle the requirements online

Is that an officially published guidance? Because it sounds awfully close to “social security/ballot harvesting” and will surely backfire on those old people.

Another sus thing about this Password app is what “App Privacy Report” shows.

Sometimes it would increment counters for visited sites without you using the app, which likely means that sites are able to track you if you have an entry in Passwords.

Alternatively, some sites do not show up in logs even though icon shows up for a site/password entry.

Facebook is now Meta and no one cares about the supposed titular product anymore.

That’s a “$1.56 billion” question…

That would be news to people on mac with Rosetta Stone / Crossover.

> I can't imagine a world where we only have one x86 manufacturer.

Does it even matter? Some people won’t notice even if there are zero x86 manufacturers.

In fact I would say lots of people have not bought x86 CPU in while, between Mac, RPi and risc-v boards…

> tomorrow the President could proclaim that we are being invaded by, say, the Yakuza, and send any non-citizen Japanese person to a prison in El Salvador

Why would he do that? Manzanar is much closer and successfully tested even against citizens.

I’ve heard that interned Japanese-American did not like to bring the whole thing up afterwards, but it was clearly a mistake trying to memory hole that abomination.

> It was not a "kill switch".

Software is famously a munition, so maybe call it lack of ammunition…

This is high and mighty, but didn’t they fire security team a year or so ago (couldn’t afford pay for higher ups)? I like how everyone just memory-holed that part and moved on… why would you recommend that to anyone?

Was it a blind trust instead? Which mismanaged the farm so much that Carter had to sell it…

> concerns about US companies (especially in the last months) have led many to migrate to Signal

And then, footer at the bottom of signal.org says “Signal, a 501c3 nonprofit” which is clearly an American thing. Am I missing something here? Both look American from here.

> Bye bye US prime beef.

It might be a blessing in disguise, given the shit they fed them cows:

> remote work can be pretty bad for the younger end of a company

Not to worry, AI is going to rapidly solve this issue, according to tech CEOs that it.

Congratulations on hitting 5k posts on a Fyre-level topic!

That only works for things that have immediate impact, less so for things that take time to blow up. But then all people involved have moved on and you’re left plugging AI, I guess.

> I've seen Propublica cherry pick quotes

Wait until you see Twitter Files or whatever Elon is going to drop from DOGE.

You technically have a point, even Russia has elections. But that doesn’t matter because they are just for show.

In US you generally gerrymander to the max or throw all sorts of road blocks to discourage voter participation, but we might also see more physical harassment going forward, both for voters and poll workers.

Heck, you can even document deployment procedures and still lose them due to some wiki migration mishap or something like that, without anyone noticing. At least someone might notice that server is gone, less so with sparingly used documentation.

Certainly a steep price to pay.

I recall that some states were happy to deice roads next to schools with radioactive brine, which might come back now with EPA being dismantled.

Did they pay premium for asbestos?

> It's not the same situation.

Yet. It is not even two months in, we have not seen nothing yet.

Yup, that’s what I thought.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Yes, the ones currently plundering and sending money to their private companies. I’m not sure what argument you’re trying to make with this.

Is DOGE ideologically diverse? From recent reporting it also looks like a bunch of white men primarily.

On an off chance you are serious, here is one option:

Otherwise, wait until fascists complete their takeover, it will certainly be much easier then.

Yup, it happened right when “ongoing” top comment showed up.
