Yeah I think this should make people feel better about Signal. I know that I felt ok with Threema (one time fee for users, ongoing for their work accounts) but always questioned how Signal would keep the lights on. This sounds like a win/win.

If this country invested as much in transit/trains as we do airports and roads we'd be a world leader.

Make an account you bitch ass AC.

Quite frankly, FreeBSD isn't ever going to catch up to Linux on the desktop (IMO.) It's not a priority and there are few distros to use it anyhow (Midnight and Ghost IIRC, couple others.) It will still be used on servers but IF Linux ever gets a network stack equal to BSD (eBPF I think is what they are going to?) then I see Linux taking off even more on the server side than it already has. Even then, the run to containerization has only solidified Linux's edge as it basically has won out against jails.

Um...no? Why couldn't an action done in 2025 totally nuke potential results for the rest of the decade to make it one of the worst? His actions have upended a majority of what we thought about global trade. Will the dollar continue being the reserve currency? Will the US go on a major depression (taking the global economy with it given how much the US buys) due to increased borrowing costs due to uncertainty that the US would pay its debts, let alone the extra interest it will take to service them now. What about the effects of tariffs and everything else causing uncertainty on where to produce said things in order to minimize costs but still be able to export to the US- one of the world's biggest markets. Sure, this *can* turn around but only if that moron does. And even then, I highly doubt that we can go back to what it was before.

Yes because there are never vulnerabilities in software other than systemd. By god the anti-systemd people need to just give it up already. You don't like it? Fine, no one gives a shit. Just stfu already and run sysv or whatever.

Haha, first shit event? Dude, lived through the fall of the Berlin Wall, the dotcom bubble burst, the Great Recession, Covid. Did things march on? Sure. Is it going swimmingly? Absolutely fucking not. I mean, covid alone brought millions of deaths but I guess because one wasn't you that it's all just peachy eh? Again- you're predicting that past events are a guide to how this will be dealt with. Guess what- history is littered with revolutions and falls from great heights where there was great suffering and destruction. Let's stop the "it'll all be alright" bullshit and acknowledge the moment.

As an American, you have such a deluded sense of optimism about this country. Which I guess explains why most of us are "business as usual" even while we basically throw everything away. I mean, if the greenback loses global reserve currency status that alone would be a huge blow to the US, let alone all the other crap we're dealing with.

You're making this classic mistake in a different context- past results don't guarantee future performance. Just because the world didn't implode under past Republican or Democrat presidents doesn't mean it won't under *this one.* And current news is very much unlike anything that has happened under a past admin, even Trump 1.

You can tell this guy is a CEO. He managed to say so much without saying anything at all.

Yet another reason to go to Firefox. Sheesh.

It's much more profitable to sell shovels during a gold rush than go looking for gold yourself.

Or we can continue calling them a start-up. Some businesses fail with far less money. These guys have spent all this money and still have no viable business plan. Quite amazing really.

This is only more emphasized when you realize a great amount of people only use a phone for many, many tasks that a lot of people would've used a computer for previously. The amount of features a random, average person needs has long been available in LO.

The FTC approved those buyouts/mergers though no? For far too long we've let the top companies buy out the smaller minnows. It goes against any kind of capitalist maxim to actually have companies compete. And it's not just there- just about any industry you let this go on. And look at where we are now. Maybe if we get rid of this shitty admin we can one day get an FTC with teeth that'll block all these mergers.
