I am not optimistic. Elon and his brother own majority in the board.

This is all smoke and mirrors. Board opens search for a replacement. Go through the motions of finding a replacement. Delay. Delay. Delay.

Then on a particularly active news cycle, report search has failed, and it gets buried beneath the bullshit that Orangatuan administration did that week.

The interview was interesting and glad candidates are willing to go into these hostile territories even if the conversation falls on deaf ears. For me, I was never undecided. I am voting Democrat.

What I want to know: will a Kamala-Walz adminstration have a unified house and senate to push this country forward (getting Roe v Wade codified to start)? All of this focus/media attention on the presidential elections but we need to flip seats.

What’s the temperature across the country right now?

Diversion tactic. Promote political discourse in US so Russia can continue their atrocities in Ukraine

The state of SCOTUS is abhorrent. We truly are on the verge of a second Civil War. The terrorists have successfully infiltrated all levels of government. And they are not the terrorists featured on your local Fixed News affiliate. It’s your neighbors and often times rural areas.

Democrats won the battle (ie, reclaiming presidency) but have lost the war.

I have been exploring self hosting my email.

Docker mail server for backend. Roundcube for web ui

Still keeping accounts at mainstream providers though as backup, especially for outgoing mail.

I am just waiting for a malware developer or state actor to use this as a way to infect computers with 0-days.

This is a disaster. Why anybody would decide to use Windows for any serious workloads is unfathomable to me.

Office products are mostly cross-platform (outlook, word, excel).

There was a subset of Google contractors trying to unionize but while the group was campaigning at city hall. Google executives decided to not renew the contract and all of them were jobless.

I wouldn’t touch a TSLA product even if it was given to me.

My $1 bid is ready to submit to ByteDance once grandpa signs that bill.

Yet another reason to avoid Apple hardware.

I invested so much into this stupid ecosystem. Feels silly now after realizing how abusive this company is and the lengths it will go to keep you walled in.

I wonder what the angle is here…

Or maybe it’s a hedge play. Have son donate to Democrats. Shitty father continues to donate to GOP.

Or maybe son is angling for a tech regulation to break up father’s empire. In the fallout, he secures a larger piece of his fathers empire.

I use Arch, btw

One of the few actions coming from Trump and his band of cock suckers.

Fuck domestic spy programs. Fuck FISA.

Tear all of it down.

… and open source projects continue to list discord as a community option to discuss items about their project.

You mean electron based apps? Yea I hate those. Discord, Slack are the worst. MS teams is cancer.

l personally don’t mind apps you can load through your favorite browser. Instant cross platform compatibility. I think there are some arbitrary connection limitations that make bandwidth or latency intensive apps less than ideal though.

Maybe teal or cyan (green + blue) 😉

It’s amazing how much coverage this guy gets on both sides of the aisle. Fire up your OTA and tune into your local news segment. Usually at least one story about this guy every day. If he’s not mentioned locally, then he probably has story nationally. Shit man, even the night show hosts constantly talk about him.

Doesn’t change with internet coverage. Always at least a dozen articles about this guy regarding outlandish posts on his blogging platform, various trials, shit said in trials.

We know he’s a piece of shit. Media outlet knows he’s a piece of shit. Yet they continue to push anything about trump because it gets the ratings/engagement.

Sad state of journalism rn.

Who’s the Chad that donated a whole 15 ETH to that addy 👀 — https://etherscan.io/address/0x400c96c96acbC6E7B3B43B1dc1BB446540a88A01

Apple partnering with a sub standard LLM / ChatGPT clone. Classic. Tim Cook needs to go.

That makes sense now. Thanks for extra context.
