Seriously. “Esprit de corps”? Where the hell did he get that from? He blamed everything on Biden and it didn’t make any sense, but that’s not anything new, that’s what won him the election.

Yeah. I pretty much use Tor and Librewolf exclusively. Whenever I use something else, it's like the internet has become a parody put together by someone who's making a point about intrusive advertising.

Exclusive: Gaza talks at risk after Israel refuses to withdraw from Rafah

Israel clearly isn’t interested in stopping killing people.

I get why Hamas is still in the talks, they don’t really have a choice, but the whole thing is pointless. The “cease fire” is Western pressure so severe that Israel is forced to stop by threat of consequences. Everything else is a waste of time and a foolish hope.

Inb4 Pam Bondi gets thrown under the bus

She’s stupid and obedient enough to survive longer than most. But how many people who were close to Trump 2 years ago are still anywhere in his orbit now? You either leave voluntarily, or you get thrown to the Sarlacc whenever it serves the convenience of the day.

Who here was the family scapegoat?

Not in the family but at a job.

Leave sooner. You’re actually super qualified. If they don’t want it, don’t try to figure out how to get it done anyway, just start rocking with people that rock with you instead.

The first rule of fascism is, when it arrives, turn your guns against the fascists. Not against your friends who aren’t being anti-fascist enough, or weren’t in the past, or whatever.

I frequently make bug reports and contributions to all kinds of software. If this wasn’t something that impacted people’s security and trust evaluation, that’s exactly what I would have done.

Put it this way: If Android, or Outlook or whatever, was sending your admin password home to Google or Microsoft, and then people showed up to say it was probably an innocent mistake and why are you even making a big deal about it, just report it and let them fix it instead of creating drama, that would be absurd. That’s how I feel about the people here telling me the same thing.

Well, part of the price I pay for being a consistent dickhead is that sometimes people aren’t enthused to respond to me. I get why they wouldn’t really want to respond here and get yelled at, whether or not it was malicious, and instead just fix it and go on.

In my opinion it would be a healthier way to go about things if they were willing to meet criticism head-on, but the pro-authoritarianism position they’ve staked out for themselves is so widely and bitterly unpopular that I think that ship has sailed and they’re unlikely to engage with most of the free-speaking world at this point, because it would just be a torrent of abuse and mockery and so what would even be gained by it.
