  1. It gets better https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/teen-on-musks-doge-team-graduated-from-the-com/
  2. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJquYOG5EL82sKTfH9aMA9Q
  3. The target is not really $4 billion a day, it’s the agencies that Musk hates.
  4. Looks like a client is out that turns it into TikTok, just grabs and shows you videos https://lifehacker.com/tech/bluesky-now-has-its-own-tiktok
  5. He's claiming they don't, but nobody can actually verify it - just have to take his word.
  6. Dave, Nick, and Roger all have releases coming out the same day. This is Nick's
  7. I wonder what she would have been like deep into the 70s. Does she follow some kind of Grace Slick route? She go into the country music world as the pop music world changes drastically?
  8. Seems a bit dodgy and claims they only have read-only access, but why do they need read-only access to such sensitive data, and with read-only they can still copy everything and try to dump it into their circle-jerk blockchain. I do like the bit about the IRS and others still using COBOL. We shouldn't even be having this discussion. These dweebs shouldn't be anywhere near having just read-only credentials.
  9. Yeah, and like I said, they started the process of making orcs (and Drow) officially playable a decade ago, this was just formalizing it. A lot of people wanted it, and the irony is that they added something like 80+ monsters to the manual. And nothing is stopping DMs from using orcs as NPCs. I find a lot of the outrage to be false or misplaced because there's a lot more that people should be upset about and I think most of the outrage videos on YouTube are there for the clicks (which is most of YT these days). There is so much more to be concerned about. Hasbro wanted to do away with physical books and turn everything into a subscription, and it sounded like they were heading towards only allowing their official VTT to be the only VTT to have any DnD content (shutting off Roll20.net, etc.), along with other changes. I like to play in person, but I also have some Roll20 stuff going on, and Hasbro's VTT was going to be resource heavy and more expensive.
  10. I told my cousin this over the holidays - I asked him point-blank what Musk was doing that was going to make his Tesla hold its value (as much as a used car can) and make the Tesla brand as a whole worth more than it is now? I told him that if things keep going the way they are, used car lots will be full of Teslas and trade-in values will be really bad. It was his first car, so it'll be painful, but his wife mentioned he's been looking at other EVs.
  11. Our air traffic control system clearly needs to be on the blockchain. And surely we could get rid of those expensive controllers and just farm it out to people working from home on the internet, kind of open source. We can add cameras to all of the planes and towers and people on the internet will be able to see everything.
  12. Your analogy is accurate, except that Elon is the high-as-a-kite electrician coming to redo all of the plumbing in your house. And he hates actual plumbers and everything they claim to know about plumbing.
  13. He’s been around that district for over 40 years, since Reagan appointed him, and has been the senior judge since Bush elevated him in 2006, so he’s not somebody that can be easily intimated or brushed off. I’ve been following this, as there’s been some shenanigans to try and drag members of Native American tribes into it (I’m a member of one) to justify trying to end it by executive order (basically redefine what the citizenship means based on parents, etc.). Whether the feds try and double down and even go after birthright citizens, remains to be seen, but most likely they will have to drop the birthright stuff and focus on illegals.
  14. I didn’t say they would be happy, just that they should be. And my anti-vaccine relative screamed at us and other relatives over the shedding COVID proteins thing when she found out that a bunch of us were vaccinated when they became available (the first of many times she chewed family members out for getting vaccinated), and would not wash her clothes in the same washing machine that vaccinated people used unless she ran an empty load with bleach through it.
  15. Yeah, but what’s your render distance and FPS in Minecraft?
  16. They appear to be on track to launch later this year, so the thinking in the Anno subreddit is that there won’t be too many layoffs for a project this close to completion that can generate a lot of revenue. But there is also concern that development is being sped up so that they get it out sooner rather than later rather than risk it being canned. They are deep in the development cycle, which is good, and they have the Anno 1800 series to point to in terms of revenue generation.
  17. Give me somebody who has been voting for more than four years, who went through puberty more than a decade ago and who has known the intimate touch of a woman or a man, who has been to countries other than the USA and/or their homeland, who has paid taxes for more than 2-3 years, and who did not go from chatting with their dipshit gamer friends online and posting racist shit online to questioning actual experts who have been in the real world and in their respective fields longer than these dipshits have been alive, and whose boss does not rely on close ties to Communist China for some of his businesses. Finally, give me people who do not think putting all of the data of American citizens and government on the blockchain on the internet is a good solution to everything. For all of the bitching about Trump, what Musk is doing has the potential to bring our economy and our country to its knees, and surprise, surprise, people like Musk won’t be too affected - at the end of the day, he’s got his private security forces and jets and has access to other countries. Of course, if our economy collapses, it’s going to fuck up a lot of others countries. People like you are probably going to suffer a lot more than you think, and you don’t even realize.
  18. 19 year-olds who may be Canadian citizens. Would love to know how he got top secret secret access.
  19. If they cut 75% of the government workforce, millions of people hitting the job market will be the least of our worries, as systems start failing, people stop getting their SS checks, hospitals stop getting paid through Medicare/Medicaid/VA, and a whole host of other things.
  20. They should be happy at this kind of stuff, because if it works out and a lot of us take it, it makes them safer.
  21. And they do not understand what classified information or security means. Because you know whatever they’re feeding it to is on the Internet.
  22. They keep on confirming they don’t know shit about how the government works. Which is to be expected of a bunch of 19-25 year-olds
