He should be in prison
As was the case for just about every president back to at least Reagan and possibly further back at the point where they left office

I mean, Trump did almost start WW3 with that stunt.
Actually, technically, the last president to *start* a war was either FDR (I'd argue we were dragged in) or Woodrow Wilson.
Now, a lot of presidents since then have started illegal military conflicts.
Also, I'd argue that Trump droning an Iranian official on Iraqi soil might be worse than any of Obama's military adventures.
That exists in the US (to an extent) and has probably for 15+ years
It took Apple Pay becoming mainstream for the reader infrastructure to exist.
I mean, the API will still exist, if only for the massive amount of legacy code that expects it to exist. Much like Win32 isn''t going anywhere any time soon.
I mean, I hope he gets really really sick, pulls through, perhaps with obvious but not crippling aftereffects. and convinces some of his death cult that this isn't a joke and it should be taken seriously.
Especially since if he dies before noon on January 20, 2021, we end up with apocalypse fetishist Mike Pence as president.
Probably not gonna happen, but it's not *that* absurd to think it could happen.
What would 2005 me think?
To be fair, MS in the early 2020s is much different than MS in the late 1990s
Windows is largely a dead-end as a platform, the way going forward for end-user computing is web browsers, and at that point, it doesn't matter much what the underlying OS the browser's running on.
I mean, it's not *that* out there to say that there may come a point where "Windows" is actually a Linux distro with the Windows API bolted on top.
Given all the shitty hot takes when the last patent expired, didn't MP3 die in 2017?
Except Biden made a career out of being to the right of Ronald Reagan on a lot of stuff in the 80s. And I'm with the first post on Howie Hawkins as I simply can't support the Democrats while they're chasing the Republicans as the Republicans go further and further to the right. I mean, in 2018 I would have voted against Dan Lipinski (D-IL) if the Republicans hadn't nominated an actual Nazi.
Given that there's more viable royalty-free codecs out there as compared to when H.265 was coming out, I suspect they'd need to dial back on that to gain adoption.
But Wikipedia seems to think that's not happening.
If Joe Biden is leftist, so is Ronald Reagan. Joe Biden was to the right of Republican Jesus on a lot of stuff.
And you can band together with random internet strangers for that, each line is paid for separately.

Though pings aren't great, and at times in certain areas, the speeds can be not great, for example I was in the basketball arena of a reasonably large catholic university in a major city during a basketball game a couple months ago getting 1-3 mbps.
But in my corner of suburban hell, 50 mbps is fairly common.
Umm, you do know what clickbait is, right?

Am I supposed to feel sorry for him? As someone living more or less paycheck to paycheck I don't.
