I’ll just leave this here and back away slowly…

Good luck to you.

…ok? This is how cloud works.

Regardless of their intentions, you just can’t hope and wish the underlying systems to obey your wants.

Think of it like you creating a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book, except when it says to go to page 43, that page is missing. Or a reference to a character later in the book was missing from previous pages.

It’s a digital statement of record, and attempts to alter the history of said statement breaks everything in the “future” created in this system. If you try and go back to delete stuff, the record will be broken if you break a link to something previously created.

They don’t have the manpower to dump and completely recreate the entire FBI database to solely remove Trump’s name from these files, and even if they did, there would still be references in documents to things that no longer exist, like “Evidence Document #328”, and then it shockingly doesn’t exist anymore? No fucking way.

Good fucking luck. These aren’t paper files you can burn, and the reference trees are fucking DEEP.

Federal agencies use digital reference and versioning to make sure there is always a paper trail back to access and fucking with records. You can’t go back and scrub these things just on the surface.

If you’re familiar with code repositories like git or svn, it’s like that. Anyone who accesses or changes a file is logged. Any deletions have revisions saved. All the links to external sources like court documents or witness testimony is kept on record similarly, and you can’t go back and scrub the history like you could by just burning shit without breaking a whole bunch of stuff. There’s always a source of truth in these systems.

I think they are imagining they keep access to these systems out of touch if anyone until Trump is safely out office is my guess. Then he thinks he can pardon it all away, but the history will be saved and accessible eventually.

Congress (or at least some of them) know how these systems work, and they’ll find broken references or bad links to things that should exist and have gone “missing” once they dig in. I’d like to see the excuses for the disappearing of data when new subpoenas come out.

Yahoo is still around, huh?

Dunno. He was the author of the original comment in the email though.

Because now they’re going to try and claim they “can’t due to an ongoing investigation”. This will be like pulling teeth.

Why would it bring down Trump if there’s nothing in the files as they say?

Look… I’d love for this to be genuine and real, but the chances of that being true are SLIM TO NONE. She’s been doing this for a decade, and barring any proof she just started taking meds for a newly diagnosed mental condition, I can’t believe any of this is real.

She’s pulling a scam. I don’t know who the target is yet, but this is not genuine.

Not even what’s happening. They’re trying to silently pardon her because she’s a Trump fanatic. They can’t pardon her, so are trying to abuse the system to get her out of custody.

She wasn’t convicted of a Federal Crime. That’s the issue. The federal system has no precedent for taking her into custody.

The federal govt doesn’t run elections.

Ran Slackware on this exact same computer back in the day. Surprised there are any still functioning. Overclocking with jumpers on these boards was a revelation.

Funny story: they can’t do that. Good luck getting before a judge in Colorado who knows exactly who this piece of shit is and arguing they have any legal precedent for this. They would have to admit she committed a crime, and even then it doesn’t erase her state conviction and record.

Can’t pardon that shit away.

This guy looks like Evil Andy Samberg.

To be real: I think it was all over the news that there was a rumor Putin has Kompromat pictures of Trump, and Mark was just making a facetious joke about it all.

He did ruin a fun couple of days with this clarification though, so boo to him.

LOLOL. Holy shit. He probably walked away with all the classified docs from scraping every server those fucking morons gave him access to.

Not trying to dump on your efforts or anything here, but you’d be better off first defining a scope of what you’re trying to do, and then work off an existing hardware or software platform.

You can get phone dev kits for cheaper than $200 if you just want to build something that works without Android, but if you intend to take that further and design some of the software experience, you’d be better off just working or contributing to something that already exists.

A single person can’t even begin to touch on the fundamentals of what it takes to run a phone experience in that that we currently understand and use them. Touch UX, software<>hardware integration, peripherals like cameras…it’s A LOT. Doing it well as a single developer is just not going to happen.

If your goal is simply to not have to buy another shit Google-infested phone, you can get a cheap that runs other things right now.

WOW…just…WOOOOWWWWWW
