2 months agoThe whole point of a corporation is so that the people involved don’t get held personally responsible when bad things happen. It’s virtually impossible for them to be held accountable with our current laws.

A few quibbles.

I would argue that Insurrection also qualifies as a feature-length Star Trek episode. It has good moral quandaries, an interesting sci-fi premise, all the hallmarks of classic Trek.

Code of Honor is the worst Trek episode.

1·2 months agoThis is pretty much what I used to do before I got a password manager. Only difference is I would take that short phrase and randomly drop letters or replace them with numbers or symbols, and also random capitalization. Then I’d just practice typing it for 5 minutes until it was muscle memory. After about a week, I could no longer consciously remember the specifics of the password, just the key phrase and the associated muscle memory.
Being a master isn’t just about skill, it’s also about wisdom and experience, perhaps even more than skill. It’s perfectly reasonable that they wouldn’t want to elevate him to that rank yet, given his behavior.
Yeah, that’s why he’s putting several of its chief architects in his cabinet…
The problem with that is, if we were to detect them even attempting a launch, we also launch. Meaning even if their missiles turn out to be duds, millions still die.

It’s not even an official government department, it’s something like an advisory council. So, something like that, yes
It’s also a redundant department. There is already the Government Accountability Office, which literally does the same job (but probably actually does it efficiently).
The American version of Christianity has decided that a fetus is a person, and as such that an abortion is murder. They make it this emotional issue so that people don’t think too hard about it and just reflexively think “I can’t support murder!”
This is despite the Bible pretty explicitly defining life as beginning at the first breath, and treating causing a miscarriage as property damage.
It’s part and parcel of the Republican party essentially taking over the church and getting people to equate “Republican” with “Christian”.
No, I also felt like Harris felt she wasn’t allowed to veer too far from Biden since she was his VP, but had plans to change course more once she took over.

Unless they (somehow) get an amendment through, Musk is not eligible to be president. He wasn’t born a citizen of the US.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
“President Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of abandoning Israel after the incumbent said he would not supply the country with weapons it could use to invade Rafah.”
Trump wouldn’t offer even the token pushback that Biden has, and would likely ramp up the payments and weapons supplied to Israel.
When he was president before, he already massively cut aid to Gaza, and would probably do so again.
That’s how you go farther
Given that one side of the political spectrum has become staunchly against many aspects of reality, I disagree with your premise.
And Trump has said he wants it to go even farther.
Always has.
The rules for using copyrighted content are the same on FOSS platforms as for the big players, legally speaking. The difference is the FOSS platforms simply don’t have the same enforcement mechanisms in place, so they won’t give you warnings directly and automatically. If a rights-holder comes across something that uses their content, however, they can still come after you under the law using things like the DMCA.
