The ACLU went to court to defend the freedom of speech right of nazis to march through Jewish neighborhoods. Personally, I would have classified that as threatening speech, but I'm no the ACLU. (They fought for the right of the Klan to march through black neighborhoods too.)

Dude, Poe's Law! I can totally imagine Pete Hegseth saying exactly what you said! Your freedom of speech doesn't not give you the right to advocate violence towards the people you hate, as the Trump administration is currently doing. "Hey kids, let's remove any protections against bullying trans kids!"

Comment Control of Secure Boot via the Windows copyright (Score 1) 98

Microsoft has no control over secure boot. You can even load your own custom keys for the Windows boot process

Microsoft has control over distribution of the copyrighted Windows operating system. It has used this control to dictate whether or not makers of devices that include Windows are allowed to let users load their own custom keys. For example, Microsoft required makers of devices that come with Windows RT (the port of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 to ARM architecture) to block end users from turning off Secure Boot and block end users from loading their own custom keys, as conditions for a license under copyright to distribute Windows RT on those devices.

That's always the claim.

It is rooted in the "madman" theory, and it isn't complete bunk, but vastly overrated. Acting like (or being) a crazy asshole is its own form of predictability.

And in Piggy's case, it is a cope masquerading as a boast. When he can't bully, the dipshit just has nothing else. He's strategic about nothing except protecting his fragile ego.

So he does utterly stupid things like attacking Iran while claiming the goals were secret so he could retcon whatever he wanted. The reality is he's decompensing - he's losing badly in court and public opinion. The weird kidnapping of the Honduran president made him think he knows better than all those egghead generals, and he stuck his dick in a meat grinder. And all the while he gets a little more demented, retreating up his own ass, mincing about the drapes in his oh-so-pretty ballroom/citadel from which to claim he can't be ousted as Supreme Ruler.

Which would be fine, except he's taking the rest of the country with him while making everyone hate us.

Trump is a shit stain on the underwear of the nation. He needs to go.
