  • So tactically, if one or two of the group go first, the rest get to see a preview of most of the body of evidence that will be used against them. If there’s any weakness in the presented case, they can craft their defense around it.

    The defendant has a constitutional right to have access to all evidence that will or could be used against them, as well as any exculpatory evidence the prosecutor might have.

    So if there’s a tactic, it’s not to be able to see the evidence to improve their legal defense, it’s to be able to spin the evidence to the public in the coming months to try to get Trump elected or rile the mob enough for people to try another J6.




  • I used xmpp for years before Google talk federated, and I was so excited. I thought xmpp was finally going to be mainstream, but then they used their weight to control the direction of the protocol, then cut and run. Xmpp has mostly recovered and still a great protocol, but Google kind of messed it up before kicking it to the curb.

    Edit: This page no longer exists, but as recently as 2020, Google had a page about how dedicated they were to open chat standards, 7 years after they introduced hangouts, which was once again a closed/proprietary protocol.
