Seriously, who the fuck would that book have been given to to sign, that would forge a message from fuckwit nobody Trump back then? Who would possibly have anything to gain by both faking a message, and it being ‘that’ message, just a bland, shallow half inside joke sounding thing with a drawing?

Makes that ‘are we the baddies?’ a whole lot easier to answer.

Scam?

What a perfect example of someone ‘not’ trying to cheat the system being held to a ridiculously higher bar than those who are so used to cheating that they do it in their sleep.

Basically, cheat at everything and when you get called out on it, do something worse so the ‘evidence’ and questions immediately become trivial because there’s something far worse to address. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Don’t worry, if you think there is a limit where ‘how can i do something worse and still get away with it?’… Apparently there isn’t.

Pretty sure that was the joke. I don’t know how they can lie about the height of someone who must certainly be one of the most photographed people in the world (POTUS, I mean, why in the world anyone would want to photograph Trump himself is beyond me), but pretty sure even that one is wrong. The others are much easier to lie about, even if they are obviously wrong.

Well, ‘proven wrong’ is a bit of a stretch. ‘will soon block screen capture’ doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room, but also isn’t that crazy to read into it that maybe it would block screen capture on the presenters screen… especially if you grant that it might only have control over the teams portion of the screen. I’ve had it black out windows on my own machine even when not presenting.

But further than that, it’s not fair to say everything has to be read only from the most or the least charitable viewpoints. Context is a thing and if you’re even a little bit familiar with the history of software enshittification, it’s reasonable to assume that an uncharitable reading is fair without assuming the app will now melt your computer for spare parts if you try something that is disallowed. ‘As shitty as we can get away with’ might be a good rule of thumb.

That’s a charitable reading, and likely justified by the article, but based only on the phrasing, it’s just as likely to read that as assuming Microsoft will block all content in order to ensure the safety of sensitive data. Sniff tests have to be adapted when things tend to stink in general, or companies regularly try to cover up their smell.

Honestly judge, that’s were I had all the evidence that I’m not corrupt and stuff…

I mean, it’s a flag, just not a red one.

Would be interesting if everyone still stuck using it consistently advertised a discount for finding them on any site besides Twitter. Might not make the biggest difference by itself but it could start a trickle that turns into the flood.

Basically a surcharge for users that only know Twitter or otherwise wouldn’t be bothered by the noise. Maybe call it a tarrif that can be easily avoided :)

Another way to look at it is like having to use Windows because that’s what they use at your job. There’s a problem but because most people are oblivious or don’t care, the momentum is difficult to escape. You may find it easy to say ‘quit you job then’ to fully show your disapproval but not everyone has that luxury.

I do hope everyone that is stuck using it mentions in every commission or interaction that they are available on different sites as well though.

Anyone still using it or of convenience though should quit immediately.

That’s a big leap… Dumb blonde to beating women.

Little odd of course, but not the worst way to try to illustrate more than 1/4 but not 1/2… Which seems to be in the ballpark of the number he mentioned. If 40% of spousal murders are committed by women it fair to say it’s not “always men”, but it is more than half but less that 3/4.

Did you typo or did he? .03 is significantly bigger than .004

Boy, what a self aware example that shows of so many of the issues on the right.

My understanding is that it auto deletes after a short set time. I’m not saying signal is a failure of an app for personal use, I’m saying choosing it for this purpose is a fail.

We’ve all screwed up on a text message.

We haven’t all chosen to use an insecure app for sensitive military operations to avoid foia requests to hide future treason charges and then screwed up a text message.

Or people who get really used to using it, use it

Not sure if it’s still this way, but a documentary years ago described the ridiculous technicality that allowed a farm to call themselves free range. It was like a door that led outside to a 4 foot cube area shared by thousands and thousands of chicken. Basically enough room for like three chickens to spread their wings… If they happened to find the door, and it wasn’t already crowded… And they were actually able to walk.

This has been a really long ‘day one’ process. Pretty soon his ‘i will stop the war my first day in office’ will rival putins plan to conquer Ukraine in 3 days.
