The hardball/no hardball train left the station a while ago.

Exactly so, let's pack it. For you to handwave McConnell basically stealing 2 seats and then cry "muh norms" is so bad faith I don't even think you believe it. You know it's bullshit which is why you're so quick to avoid the subject.

"I'm going to save democracy by blowing up a portion of it"

The people who nominated and elected Donald Trump, the man who plotted to overthrow the election, who constantly undermines our election system at every oppurtunity for nothing but his own gain, who just today unveiled his illegal $400m illegal gift, let's just say your opinion of Democracy matters little. I doubt you lot even understand what it means anymore.

And just like a good servile little mouthpiece here you are espousing 3 paragraphs that amount to basically "I have no evidence of fraud but I don't really understand the system and my political ideology now requires me to think every election we lose is rigged so I will just JAQ off about it".

It's a joke and and a court pack is the least of what you deserve.

Oh so the rule is if Republican's don't like the President's nominee's politics they can just eschew their Constitutionally laid out responsibility eh?

This is why I 100% support packing it to 13 and Republicans can get fucked about it. . You cretins don't give a shit about the rules, it's all a game so why should we play fair while you are fine cheating. It's in the Constitution that the court can be expanded. It's just hardball buddy.

Also if you think fucking Barack Obama was acting or playacting anything "revolutionary" that says way more about where your overton window is then it does about him.

It's been 11 years and you conservatives are still absolutely fucking obsessed with moderate normie liberal Obama. That's why everyone thinks it's based in racism because his demeanor and policy was like, just fine, middle of the road shit.

It doesn't seem that bad anyway. They can run arbitrary code, for that boot... But the flash encryption key is in the secure enclave, right? So all the user's data is safe, the OS can't be tampered with, and since it's only in memory a power cycle or probably even just a reboot will clear it.

I'm sure some Israeli company is working on a chained exploit as we speak, but I think if you are concerned about that you probably want to avoid Apple devices anyway. They are a very popular target for those companies.

They have everything they need, land and water and electricity and tons and tons and tons of money. The billionaires can go anytime they want. California doesn't need them.

You're right about one thing though keep taxing billionaires and there won't be any, just citizens. And I think that's a good thing.

You have to consolidate your loans into private loans to do this and as soon as you do that you lose all the protections that come from having public loans. You will then have your wages immediately garnished by the private company that owns your loans

Trump is a crook and everyone knows it. Every single thing he does has to be scrutinized for the angle. Meanwhile they just retired Air Force One and replaced it with a foreign made plane that is probably stuffed full of listening devices. It was also a 1 billion dollar bribe to Trump and he plans to take the plane when he leaves office, if he leaves office, and use it as his personal taxpayer funded jet.

I used to think the baby boomers could burn everything to the ground for everybody else and get away with it but Trump is accelerating the pace so fast I don't think they're going to get away with it. The older ones of course will die before the shit hits the fan but if you're under 60 you're in for a world of hurt and maybe even the under 65 set isn't going to get away with it

Savannah likes to advertise its thousands of projects and call itself an incubator. I have a small open source project I wanted to move off of Github a couple years ago, and the pain I went through to try and get hosting there was immeasurable. The arrogance they displayed, like they were God's gift to hosting. And the "advertising" requirements they had. Not just the project licensing, which I can understand them wanting to be GPL and which I had no problems with. But the wording in the documentation, needing it to talk up GNU. The changes I had to make in actual functionality too were not insignificant. And the sheer arrogance with which they made these demands. Not all at once in a list. One. By. One. Always in a "Ya, your reply to our last request wasn't good enough... because what about this?" way.

I kept the whole painful email exchange in a separate email folder just in case I ever get tempted to go back. I ended up going with Codeberg, which was simple, easy, and very philosophically compatible.

So it doesn't surprise me they have unpatched problems. Savannah itself is ancient and primitive. The kind of thing a couple hackers whip up in a day which suits them so doesn't need polish. They are far too interested in resting on decades-old laurels than in actually doing good work today.

How long before GNU realizes that its entire code base has been static so long that it's irrelevant and that "GNU/Linux" just isn't a think because there is very little left that hasn't been replaced.
