    Well, we do have ex post facto protection for the moment, soooo…

    Yeah I have it on every device I own now.

    No reason to use it ever, but it’s there. Like, not installed, but there.

    A dying empire doing everything it can to delay the inevitable. We really are watching the beginning of the end of the US hegemony aren’t we?

      The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.

    As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.

            The Nazis were also extremely incompetent when I came to stuff like this. Hitler had generals scrambling behind his back to produce their best weapon, but he kept finding out and making them stop along with tons of other micromanaging.

            Trump is an idiot and so is musk. Most business people are short sighted and fascists even more. They also may be high on their own farts and think the system won’t collapse with them “in charge” like a toddler left in s room full of candles and napalm.

            Not saying that foreign powers aren’t loving this, but they don’t have to have control over it.
