Not really though. Starlinkn doesn’t scale up well. And it only makes sense in niche circumstances. And it is vulnerable. You could easily imagine a future president just taking it over for national safety reasons.

That whole time, Republicans couldn’t get anything else done. Just imagine what Democrats could actually obstruct if more of them had the values and willpower to do so.

McConnell and Paul also see the writing on the wall. When the cost of living skyrockets, if democracy somehow survives, the Republicans are right fucked.

Bernie is independent, so of course he can’t replace him… They aren’t in the same party.

Then they will offer shit support to avoid doing so. Simpler and safer to just make unlocking legit from the start.

Of course it would not.

Go back and look at what people actually said. Because you decided to change the topic and then blame them for being ignorant, and I think that’s disrespectful to them and embarrassing for you.

Depends what you mean by “dox” of course. Definitions matter a lot here.

Yes. They need to move quickly. Public opinion is already shifting against Trump and Musk, and right now they are vulnerable.

I don’t think they are trying to sabotage their own products. It really is that they’re not smart enough to see where is the value is. And this is kind of understandable, right? The underlying software has been copied already. It’s out there. If that company has value it’s only the user base. But that puts management in the strange situation where everything they are doing to make money is making their own product worse. And they kind of know it, right? But they can’t admit it. They can’t think about it clear. Their own mental stability relies on ignoring the obvious truths that they see and read every day.

“risking”? No no no. “promising”

Also, the uncertainty should have been strong in import export or related companies. Tariffs causing issues, right? Reddit should have been somewhat resistant to that type of speculation.

My friend, FOSS has been readily available for more than a decade. Whether it’s LibreOffice or the GIMP or VLC or whatever, these are very old pieces of software.

It’s not taking off now. It already did. But now you personally are noticing. :-)

Zotero is the tool you want. It works perfectly.

The formatting… The formatting that you can easily modify. Sigh. It takes two minutes, my friend.

Anyway, you do you.

If that’s his best he needs a new career and a new brain

I’ve never had compatibility issues. Of course many people have, but a lot of the time people are blindly speculating about potential badness.

Of course there are alternatives to Excel. Anyone pretending otherwise has only worked at a few places and is generalizing with great but mistaken confidence.

But even if there weren’t, think about those companies living on the edge of one software breakdown. There’s a word for that: brittle. Meh, YOLO.

It sounds like that in certain circumstances, if I make a comment and then you block me, I can lose the ability to edit my comment. That’s the problem.

God bless DCVS.
