They're a minority, but there absolutely are people who are tired of democracy because it keeps thwarting their massively unpopular ideas, and they're well-represented in the Trump administration:
If that were a roadblock to creative legal reinterpretation, the US would still be following a 1790s-1960s interpretation of the 2nd amendment today.
There's a loophole in the 22nd amendment you forgot about that Trump is aware of, the vice-presidential switcheroo:
The automative vs. augmentive distinction that AI companies and the ownership class want you to believe in is nonsense meant to keep the working class calm as their job opportunities dwindle away. The only difference between them is a quantity threshold. Augmentive means multiplying the number of jobs available by a number greater than zero but less than one (as fewer people can do the same work), automative means multiplying the number of jobs available by zero. Both mean jobs are lost, the only difference is how many remain.
This could be my next phone but has two big problems I see immediately. No earpiece so you can't, you know, hold it up to your ear and make calls like on a normal phone, you either need to have a bluetooth earpiece at all times or use speakerphone. The other thing I don't like is the Blackberry-like form factor. Nothing beats or comes close to the landscape slider layout. That said if it's open-source hardware I could at least potentially mod up a landscape slider version with an earpiece.
Or at least legally bind it to get a 4-day workweek temporarily.
There will be even more market for obscene luxuries for the rich, that's their plan to keep the economy from imploding. Everyone else gets Universal (Very) Basic Income if they're lucky, or terrafoam or mass graves if they're not.
I would imagine they decay into something else in like 10e-15 seconds.
Flatpak, Snap and containers in general need lots of drive space. Good thing storage is cheap these days OH WAIT
Can we finally know whether or not there is beer on the sun?!
I have such fond memories of EA from the '80s, but as far as I'm concerned, that's a completely different and unrelated entity.
That mentality never left Microsoft. They just to have work harder to maintain plausible deniability. Plausible, that is, to the anti-trust courts and politicians, none of whom know anything about technology.
I don't think that's likely. GOG has been around for almost 20 years. If they were to renege on providing offline installers, what could that possibly gain them? That only makes sense if they are planning to reimplement DRM, and that would immediately kill the company.
Why do people grossly misuse spreadsheets?
Because they're the most powerful and easy to use, and likely only, data manipulation tool a person with no hint of computing-specific education is likely to run across.
How does CBP know where the upload is? Is the uploaded file publicly accessible or would they need another password to even get their hands on it?
So he's not even back on US soil yet? Habeas corpus does not yet apply.
Defending the concept of a constitution-free tyranny zone for foreigners (where US border patrol somehow still has legal authority?) is fashy enough, but it's really freaking bad when you use it to strip an American citizen of the rights their own country affords them.
