The people who voted for Trump do deserve the blame. In some sense, they deserve the biggest share of the blame. After all, they voted for him.

The Democratic Party failed us all, though. They also deserve a significant slice of blame.

A primary would have been a disaster. We would have for sure ended up with a candidate notably worse than Harris. Don’t forget the people who pushed Biden wanted Shapiro or fucking Newsom or someone. It wasn’t gonna be Bernie Sanders, that’s for fucking sure. I am suddenly seeing a lot of people calling for an open primary and i can’t imagine what the fuck those people would have thought would happen, there.

We were kinda stuck with Harris. The problem lies with her and with her backers, who failed to provide an attractive alternative to Trump.

Got any recommendations?

It’s following the Amazon monopolization model.

I don’t want to encourage paranoia here but “off” does not mean “off”. Modern phones are almost never actually “powered down”. If you’re paranoid, turning your phone off is not enough. Leave it behind.

(Also a gap in your phone’s location history can also be used against you, fwiw.)

“The fourth amendment means what we say it means” – SCOTUS, probably.

In any significant quantity, i guess.

It’s not even religious. Their religion says all kinds of really important shit that they completely ignore. They just pick this one specific issue because they hate women and it’s a lot easier to say “Uhhhh it’s because of my religion, you’re discriminating against me!” than it is to say “I hate women and want them to suffer”.

I wish it was that few, but sadly trans people can have some really atrocious politics too. I doubt they’re a significant factor on this particular scenario, though.

It doesn’t mean that in this case, except perhaps very indirectly.

Vaultwarden is Bitwarden–at least for now, this change may push them apart.

No, technically they already are SaaS company. That’s mostly how they make their money.

Also it should be noted “no longer open source” doesn’t mean they’ve done a “our code is now closed and all your passwords are ours” rug pull like some other corporations. This is a technical concern with the license and it no longer meets proper FOSS standards (in other words, it has a restriction on it now that you wouldn’t see in, for example, the GPL).

So by and large the change is very minimal, the code is still available, it’s still the best option. However, this does matter. It may be a sign of the company changing directions. It’s something they should get pushback about.

Honestly, it’s Bitwarden right now. This move signals their intent to change that, though.

I don’t know about state funded, but corporations really, really hate IA for a lot of reasons.

Then why doesn’t Nintendo do it themselves?

It’s funny how git was carefully designed to be decentralized and resistant to failure from any single node… and we immediately put all our fault tolerance on the back of one corporate-owned entity. Welp.

It’s 507 paragraphs long and written in a mix of German and Esperanto but yeah, it’s right there! Clear as day!

If the dude was threatening the cops with a knife there’s no way they would have let the knife out of their sight. I doubt there ever was a knife, and if there ever was it sounds like they abandoned the weapon to go kill the guy.

I don’t think objecting to police brutality and summary execution is authoritarian. That’s more like the opposite.

The whole experience was carefully tuned to be fun.
