Shocking, just incredible, unbelievable even…

The goal, if the old fool can be said to have one, isn’t to have a consistent and coherent policy but to present as being dominating on all topics.

Command of the military and police by having big parades and deploying troops in domestic spaces.

Control of money with import taxes and gifts to friendly fellow moneyed people at his sole whim.

Control of people’s movement, who stays and goes with their ICE gestapo acting with impunity.

Control of morality, dehumanizing the LGBTQ+ community and deeming anyone not fitting their vision of ‘normal’ as being undeserving of support.

You know, totally not the strongman/dictator/fascist thing…

Next up the ministry of truth

I really don’t see that happening. The internet and the real people that build it tend to be innovative tinkerers and hackers. Things get built because there’s a need and someone tries to say they can’t. P2P, darknets, proxies, VPNs, heck the whole concept of the fediverse defies the idea of control by an external entity. So they may try, but the chances are slim it works.

Their solely owned passthrough corporations however are free to invest at will.

Maybe people will be satisfied when they can put their TV under a microscope to determine the actor’s sperm count…

It’s been observed that the porn industry is often one of the first adapters of new media tech before they become commonplace, but I’m not sure some things need to be shown in that high a resolution.

This is one accusation he actually could feasibly back upsince he’s probably on the signal chat where they plan it.

…of things already known and public while keeping the rest locked away.

Just another distracting smokescreen.

I guess I would take it being a US judge as a given. Not that this admin listens to our judges anyhow, bit I expect one from another country would hold even less sway.

Maybe, but immortality also tends to come with things like extraordinary capabilities for self repair and by extension disease resistance, so maybe they get some sort of error correcting code in their DNA replication to go with it.

It happens, the ‘did I miss a cue’ can be brutal if it keeps replaying. Only real answer I know is being content with your own self and if someone also happens to fall into that same space all the better. People get so inundated with images of what’s ‘possible’ which a good chunk of it’s enhanced with selective posting and filters, so we get some unrealistic view of what a normal happy life is supposed to be.

As for the sending pics, shitty people aren’t worth the brain space to stress over, you dodged a bullet there.

So it really has come to blatant “fuck you we’re not pretending to play by any rules of courtesy and custom anymore”, and yet it goes on largely unopposed.

Decorum is dead, by most reports I see the left outnumber the right by a sizable margin, stop playing nice.

Like any other account you occasionally need to update software and settings for. Then again I’m guessing you meant someone running an instance with more than just themselves using it.

Staying an order pending judicial review isn’t uncommon, particularly if it’s on matters far beyond the influence of that court.

That said, it’s not like this admin cares what any court says anyhow. The scotus could say in plain as day language ‘no you for sure can not do that’ and it’d get brushed off as irrelevant somehow.

Articles from 2022 citing ‘if Roe is overturned’ are a bit past their expiration date.

No you see food guy Russia totally volunteered not to do any other than the 800+ that the east was responsible for. Bad Murica!

How dare you imply my ego is fragile?! Don’t question me!

Hard to say, things like Nextcloud, Immich, Emby, and Mealie probably get the most exercise, but being a tech person some of the more interesting are things like Security Onion and some of the infrastructure tools.

Yeah, though with things like the fediverse, generations that where born into the tech world (internet only really started to be a thing around high school for me, but my kids have never used dial up) and small cheap systems like raspberry pi I expect it’ll get much easier and hopefully more common.
