No point in speaking for Trump here. Slashdot has become a Leftist echo chamber as it slowly fades into irrelevance.

As a lifelong Conservative and longtime Slashdot reader, it's always struck me as strange. Personal freedom and empowerment in the face of big powerful tech orgs, an essential component of the Open Source movement, has always seemed to be more aligned with Conservative ideals of freedom and independence.

On topic: Why would Nation A be comfortable that major captains of industry in Nation A are aligned with antagonistic Nation B? I'm sure that China wouldn't be happy if someone sympathetic to the U.S. was in control of Xiaomi.

The right wing wants power. Nothing else. They will say and do anything to get it. The fundamental feature of the right wing is a belief in a hierarchy where people naturally sort themselves into upper, lower and middle, with themselves near the upper.

Seems to me that most on the Right that feel that replacing "right" with "left" in your statement makes it more accurate. With the two sides having such strong feelings about each other, how do we come together and find common ground?

If it was economically feasible to run charging stations like this, enterprising billionaires would be doing it already. We don't need government wasting taxpayer money on this.

This tech works great for many people but not all people. Government should not be forcing it on us.

"...make sure our kids never have to worry about getting a call saying they can't go to school the next day because one of the kids or a staff member tested positive."

Plenty of vaccinated people test positive. Mandating vaccination will not prevent your kids from getting 'the call,' Governor.

Comment Decentralize 2FA please (Score 2) 150

What do you do if your 2FA vendor goes out of business or declares you socially unacceptable and locks you out? I like the security of 2FA but I've never seen a way to add multiple second factor vendors to an account.

Imo it's not good that second factor services seem to be concentrating in a small number of big vendors, such as Google, MS, Facebook. Just like it's not healthy for the Internet that other basic services like email, chat, social media have been concentrated. We should be able to work with smaller second factor vendors, even run our own 2FA services. I know that most people don't have the skills to do this, but most people reading this post do.
