USAF Vet here.
I am not an enemy of the US, far from it.
I just had my account there permanently, and unfairly, suspended by some algorithm for "inauthentic behavior. " Attempts to appeal are instantly denied.
In the 15 years that I have had that account, I have never once done anything that they classify as "inauthentic behavior. "

At least old twitter basically worked.

I have found that I am not alone. Thousands of users are making similar complaints.

Comment And yet, everybody is okay with the Bidens? (Score 0) 210

Because doesn't everybody have 22 LLCs that do nothing but transfer between one another in a plainly obvious money laundering operation?

Hunter Biden was paid approximately $83,333 a month (roughly $1 million a year) while serving on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings starting in 2014. This in spite of the fact that Hunter did not speak the language, knew nothing about the business, and did not do any work.

And now all that money has mysteriously vanished, and Hunter cannot pay child support.

Joe Biden is on video openly bragging about how he used his clout as vice president to extort Ukraine. Any chance that Biden and Obama had anything to do the present Ukraine situation? Like putting Zelensky in charge?

What about Hillary selling US Uranium $140 million? I guess that is no problem, because it's okay when we do it.

Ever notice how people with no great finance background, get elected to congress, and all of the sudden they're making four million a year on their investments? And if it's not congress, it's some other government office - elected or not.
They also tend to get ridiculous book deals, or Netflix deals.

Go ahead and get angry at Trump. But please recognize this is bipartisan, and has been going on for ages - and not in any small way.

Comment Loads of trouble with Firefox on Linux and FreeBSD (Score 1) 55

Maybe it's just me.

A few years back I was using RedHat, and I gave up on Firefox because videos would not play smoothly.

Now I am using FreeBSD, and I have recently gave up on Firefox because of a few issues.
1. Buttons often don't work. For example, the "Show More" button on Google does not work.
2. Pages often don't load on first attempt. Whether I click on a link, or enter a URL, the pages just don't load of the first try.

I just gave up. Sorry but, for me, Chrome and/or Chromium, seem to work better.

Submission + - Samsung reportedly cuts some U.S. jobs (cnbc.com)

walterbyrd writes: Samsung Electronics has cut jobs at its U.S. display, phone and other consumer electronics operations — affecting workers mainly in New Jersey and Texas, according to documents and two people familiar with the matter.

The South Korean tech giant said on Sunday in a statement to Reuters that 739 roles in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, have been affected by plans by Samsung Electronics America (SEA) — which is focused on consumer electronics and does not include chips — to move its headquarters to Texas.

A majority of people affected have received relocation offers, but others were let go, it added without elaborating.

Not in my experience. And I have had fairly significant experience.
Automatic transmissions start slipping, or shifting hard, or the modules go out, or something. Often it is often not practical to replace.
Manual transmission hold up much better. And if there is a problem, it is much easier to fix.
