Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but he’s not been president for a while. A third term would not be consecutive.

That conjurers up Police Academy flashbacks.

Calling it “tracks” probably gave the wrong impression. It was a ring around the hub that looked a bit different.

People in the thread are talking about limewire, but I think they are missing the bigger reference here.

Downloading games, burning them onto CD-Rs and then using a Sharpie to make the inner tracks of the disc unreadable as they contained the copy protection.

My only confusion is that I swear it was Playstation and not PC that worked like this.

State TV

No. Not what I said.

It’s that line of “infringing on the freedom of others”. If you think it’s the government role to free people of their oppressive burdens (e.g. free them from poverty, free them from ill-heath) then concentration of wealth is “infringing on the freedoms of others”. So it needs to be regulated against.

That’s most mistakes. They’re still inadvertantly mistakes.

I’m just saying it’s unremarkable.

I think Signal is getting tarred unfairly here. The thing that made that channel insecure was their ineptitude, not verifying who was in the group.

They gave a journalist the encryption key to their secure channel.

There’s other, record keeping related, concerns with them using signal for communicating, but I don’t think the security of Signal is being called into question when used properly.

inadvertent mistake

…as opposed to the other kind of mistake.

Every president since Carter has bombed Yemen (I think).

He’s going to turn into a sand-worm?

With a journalist in the group there’s no need for FOI requests. Think of the money saved!

Depends which end you start.

…or maybe that doesn’t matter.

Last thing he wants to do is liquidate. His twitter loans are secured by Tesla stock. He’d only liquidate if he gets a margin call on those loans.

Mark Rober showed the way. Crash Teslas in to school children.

I know. That’s why I didn’t spoil it by editing the mistake.

The “tea party” was never a third party. They were a faction of the republican party.

Then you’ll have GOP for decades as the non-GOP vote splits between parties.

The US is solidly a two party system and you need to work within it.
