Starlink was subsidized, so he’d better know what side he’s on. I wish there was a clause in the law that forcibly took back subsidies - like aight then, don’t want to fight for liberty abroad? Gimme back that money.

Being a fan of Diogones the cynic I to hate vanity. Nowhere is this more apparent than in congress or the house of representatives.
Quoteth Diogones: “in a rich man’s home there’s nowhere to spit but his face”, and republicans are trells, slaves to their masters and as vein as the emperor’s New clothes, while pretending to be “rebellious”. A bunch of posers, really.
Yeah? How about closing those sweatshops that pollute Chinese rivers, drinking water, that destroys soil so that plants can never grow again, where Chinese works inhale colorant and chemicals… how about that shit, CCP?
Which part of “not with the current hardware” didn’t you understand? How did those hackers gain access?! WiFi and Bluetooth, as well as some enterprise system shellacked on top of it.
I respect Tom Scott, but that kind of absolutism isn’t anything else than a dismissal. But yes, don’t trust these IT companies. They are trash, their licenses are trash and their code is trash.
If that’s the basis he’s going off, he is right, but that doesn’t dismiss the point I was trying to make - which completely escaped you.
Like US states were originally against state police, because their local sheriff and local “court systems” did just fine. Can you guess why state police and also inter-state police collaboration became a thing?
If you said to catch freemen and return them to slavery for jaywalking or looking at a white woman the wrong way, you’d sadly be correct.
Which is the subposition posed by techie folks a long time. Like where I’m from it’s still a paper ballot. But the idea that a paper ballot is that much safer because it’s in paper form, but in the end it’s the process and the framework around it that does the heavy lifting.
Voting machines can work… just not on an x86 running Windows enterprise lol abort, abort, the milk has soured, I repeat; the milk has soured…
But let’s say a well designed RISC-V processor, no accelerators or things that make CPU go vroom vroom but that also introduces the threat of speculative execution and a solid, LTS Linux system with no WiFi, Bluetooth or anything, just a NFC or USB key pair that allows for anonymous voting, whilst also ensuring the integrity of the ballot using identifying measures like cameras in the voting locales and signing in at the entrance before voting.
Again, the process and the framework is the thing here. Even the hardware. Can the current industry handle it? Nope. Will open hardware and open firmware create a new revolution within the use and implementation of computers? I do believe so, and even within voting.
But some Oracle/Microsoft type job? No. Just no. There when you return to the paper ballot.
Funny how convicted felons can have their voting rights taken away, but letting a person who tried to sabotage the voting system to win unfairly run for president again? Suuure!
Not only that, but it’s a direct parallel to how the rich have so much more rights than the poor - and the worst part is this guy’s fans ARE dirt poor, some may even be felons, who have no right to vote, some of which probably tried to vote illegally because “owning the libs is what matters”… because again, decentralisation, proper vote count, democratic and parliamentary process, this is all bullshit anyways, so let’s just game the system!
Like you have to be a special kind of stupid - and I don’t mean that in an ableist kind of way, but in a way that this needs to be studied by scientists, because of how absurdly brain-dead it really is.
Like here’s a hint: if you set a political precedent where your guy can do it, what’s to prevent the other guy from doing it? Does MAGA stand for “make America gullible again”?
Then the question everyone should ask him on Twitter/X is… “Are you an agent of foreign principal?”
It’s time to play…
…WHO WANTS TO ESCAPE!!!
Each year one lucky contestant gets to escape the machine instead of having their flesh and mind crushed by it. Maybe you’ll be the one who gets to not suffer anymore! You’re only one out of millions upon millions of people who have the same chance and a dream to not be society’s removed!
He’s got the whole wide market

He’s got the whole wide Congress

He’s got the constitution

he is the strong man with a plan
EDIT: did not know about the allegations from the former employee and it just saddens me. I was only aware of the cooling block and it’s auctioning when I wrote this.
This thread you made is cringe. Grow tf up and try to have some understanding for once in a while.
Big corporations will always pull fake apologies and complain that consumers are beligerent little hotheads who’s opinion doesn’t matter in the long run. You’re proving their point right now.
But if say LTT actually does pull out of this amicably and their words are followed by prompt action that remedies the situation, we can in turn look at Intel, AMD, Nvidia and the likes and say “see? That’s how it’s done”.
As tech jesus himself said in his expose video is that we all make mistakes.
Do not attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity, and the way LMG has been working has been stupid.
Don’t give the bastards an inch, I understand. But let us be clear about who the bastards are and I still don’t think LMG has gone over to the side of evil.
Now they’re stepping back, taking the time to make amens (I hope they really give that company they shafted a much needed boost for instance, as a bare minimum) and we should be here for that.
If you’re just here to whine, fine. But don’t think you’re adding to the conversation or saying anything meaningful, because you are in fact just trolling.
Again, try and have some understanding. It’s very important for us to do that, because secterianism and feudes will in the end hurt the community, and also the consumer, because we have to stay on top of this.
That’s what they do. Find effective government and then sabotage it so that they can shape it according to their agenda.
The IRS is a great example of this. Make taxing slow, painful and expensive, and then turn around to complain about taxes so you can give hefty tax rebates to the rich and prevent money from going to infrastructure and instead funnel it to the same rich people via subsidies.
It’s so fantastic to see democratic mechanism get gamed for the power games of a petty few.
Home of the slave, land of the fee
High rate of male suicide, high adoption of men in far right ideology. Why do you think that is? Because every other male than you is a weak specimen and you’re such a renaissance man?
Also your statement was anecdotal and dismissive, so we’ll scratch the renaissance part.
Thanks. Real constructive.
About what? About the sky high rate of male suicide, or the high rate of males going into far right ideology?
This is a proxy to anti-NATO sentiment. NATO isn’t perfect, has made mistakes and even has been abused as a power structure, but compared to Russia or China? My gawd. No concern for human life, whatsoever.
If it’s about a lesser of two evils, NATO is much less evil.
I think it has to do with the fact that the left is actively hostile towards men, to the point where men go conservative.
It’s one of those “it hurt itself in its confusion” type situations, and that’s coming from a leftist.
Bass ackwards. They’re already in a war, i.e corruption in the military should actually be punishable by death. Where firing squad?
Caesar, Alexander and Tzu wrote poetry, you absolute troglodyte, and you think you’re more man than them? GTFO here…
