Pretty much. These guys are all marketing with not so much understanding of the tech their hawking

I think JD is still likely to be puppeted by a consortium of evil, but he may also be beholden to a smaller subset of evil masters than DT. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not

The problem with evil-but-connected people going to jail is that another similarly evil person may get them out again…

What makes you think it hasn’t?

Next they’ll just say he killed the guy with a fookin pencil

Ah yes, because bots absolutely haven’t managed to fake/generate faces now have they…

Just waiting for them to bring back Clippy as an AI agent…

To play games coded by a shitty AI, full of bugs and as many microtransactions as possible …

Yeah and TBF I’m pretty sure a lot of “right wing” folks would love to have a pet dino.

But they’d get a Tyrannosaurus to go with their Rottweilers and then tell people “don’t worry, he’s friendly” just before it bites some kid’s head off

And foreign interference/money

Isn’t it also transmissible by skin contact and not just sexual contact?

I’m pretty sure these are just the ones they were willing to put up for sacrifice…

I’m actually going with the take that the pedo thing was just part of that, and that it was (and is)a global compromat network where having all the members be rich and involved in various horrendous crimes -with evidence - was the common feature that allows it be controlled and directed.

I’m sure there are some “friends” Epstein that aren’t horrible pedos, but probably only because they were involved in some other horrible thing he had dirt on them for

On my android the 5-tap activates SoS mode. Holding power for a moment gives the power off and lockdown option, as does pressing power+volup simultaneously. Power+voldown appears to be screenshot.

Most of these options will still keep the phone “active” though so I’m not sure about USB based hacks. If encryption is enabled I believe that forcing a reboot/shutdown means the data on the phone isn’t accessible until after unlocking via PIN/password on boot.

Indeed, and now what GoG is pursuing stronger Linux offerings I may shop there more, but Valve had contributed more than just a shop and launcher. The Linux work with Steam Deck and Proton has been invaluable.

IIRC Signal was adding support for usernames instead of phone #'s

Every time I hear his name I can’t help but think of a cow, but this guy is full of more bullshit than any 4-legged bovine

The symbolism in the movie is apparently in contrast to the book, which glorified war and the human side. The director decided to take it another direction and it was a fucking great decision

“whom I speak for”

Pretty fast to grab the reins on that one, hmmm

No shit. Like right now the fuckers aren’t even keeping proper plates on their vehicles and are still running around masked like gangsters.

Even if they did have a QR code, what’s it going to do give them a link to a hotline?

"Hello, this is the ICE complaints line, please leave your name, number, and residential address and we’ll dispatch an armed goon squad to deal with your ‘complaint’ "
