I’m a good 15 years younger than Steve Wozniak, but Steve Wozniak has always been a person I’ve aspired to become more like. He’s one of my personal heroes, and I hope to die a man as close to what the man he’s always been.

I heard the Rock speak and he’s actually an intelligent, articulate person. I definitely would vote for him.

I wonder if he asked the Norwegian minister if Kristiania was nice in the summer…

I’ll take “kind of meh” over Trump anyday.

Hell, a stinking turd floating down the Potomac river would make a better POTUS than Trump…

This has to be an Onion piece. Surely…

The “DPR” lol

Take your Russian propaganda elsewhere dude…

I honestly thought there was no line for MAGA at this point

Don’t assume there is a line. Most of those MAGA numbskulls are armed to the teeth, yet neither Trump nor any of his less-well-protected henchmen are dead yet. So I guess kiddie stuff is mildly okay for the MAGA dumdums - or at least not really anything to get truly worked up over…

part of the “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force,” troops would be equipped with weapons and riot gear

So let’s see, a sort of protection squadron with weapons… Hmm, I wonder what we could call it…

How about we use fancy German?

“Schutzstaffel” sounds spiffy. And “Waffen” for the weapons.

We could even shorten it to the even spiffier “Waffen SS”.

Are you implying that a man of such unquestioned integrity as Donald Trump might have a conflict of interest here?
Perish the thought…

If I was Lip-Bu Tan, I would retort by asking about the Epstein files.

In fact, I reckon if everybody who gets attacked by Donald Trump retorted the same thing, it would be the most massive embarrassment for the orange utan. Not to mention, it would be highly amusing and extremely satisfying for the rest of us.

I wonder why nobody does it… Trump is such an easy target with that pedo scandal hovering over him right now.

Cook is well known for his ability to foster a relationship with President Trump

Cook is Trump’s token gay friend.

If you buy Apple products for some reason I can’t fathom, remember this: some of your money will have paid for a golden statue for Donald Trump.

I wouldn’t feel good holding that iPhone in my hand knowing that…

the people running the show are *also* bumbling fucking morons.

The morons in and around the White House aren’t the ones running the show. They’re puppets, and the puppetmasters are the Heritage Foundation. And THEY are anything but morons.

descent into a kind of fusion of tech and fascism

This isn’t new.

One of the defining traits of fascism is that the private sector is in cahoots with the government. In fact, that’s the root of the words fascism: fasces in Latin means bundle - the bundling of state and private interests.

Corporations have no principles and no morals: whatever will make them more money, they’ll ro-ro with. When it takes colluding with an authoritatian regime, they have no problems getting onboard.

The danger today compared to IBM helping the Nazis is of course that today’s computers are vastly more powerful than mechanical tabulators. This is going to turbocharge the dystopia orders of magnitudes.

And finally, people have been lulled into a false sense of security and convinced to give away a lot more personal information than they should’ve for the past 25 years - the “I have nothing to hide, why do I need privacy?” fallacy. Now they’re going to find out why they should have been careful. I almost want to say “I told you so” every day, having been called a paranoid crackpot for the past 25 years, but it’s so sad and so too late that it isn’t even anything to gloat about…

You’ll know that for sure after it’s built. Right now, that’s only what Trump is promising. And if there’s one hard truth about Trump, it’s that you can’t trust anything he says.

The bee took one for the team.

With any luck, there’s a hive of like-minded bees near the White House.

they want people still pay taxes when they live overseas

That’s why you have to give up your citizenship. The US is one of few countries in the world that run this scam of demanding taxes be paid by people who live abroad.

search “Hentai Alien Tentacle Porn” for you

This is suspiciously specific 🙂

Even if it was open source (it isn’t, because no model is really open source ultimately) and even if it let you review what it says it’s gonna do, AI is known for pulling all kinds of shit and lie about it.

Would you really trust your system to something that can do this? I wouldn’t…

Yeah it’s not for everybody: you have to have the means, have the guts to make the jump and not hold any hope for America. Most people lack at least one of those necessary criteria. But if you can do it, it’s a good option: life is much better outside the USA. Trust me on that one.
