What’s old is new again. Descramblers are back

Too many people trying to watch the banned Colbert / Talarico interview. Or incompetence. It could be incompetence.

Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What happens when Dems take back power? The people okay with with this are going to instantly flip the moment the government comes after them the same way. But those people never think about how something can be used against them. They only care if it is a tool that can help them now.

From my post elsewhere on this topic:

Yet another in my ongoing series of headlines about how messed up Microsoft and tech in general is by using just Notepad as an example.

Why Notepad? Because it was supposed to be the most basic built in text editor for the Windows environment. They thing that would always work. The thing that would do exactly what it was supposed to no matter what.

They have messed it up so bad that it’s now an attack vector.

It’s the prime example of how they keep taking things that work and make them worse.

I’m not arguing for trickle down. I’m using their own arguments against them.

I used to debug POP3 issues by going through sessions one line at a time via telnet. Occasionally HTTP sessions too.

Guess I won’t be upgrading my phone this year. And neither will you. Or anyone.

A company with $130 billion in cash reserves is floating 100 year bonds.

So much for billionaires reinvesting profits to trickle down in the economy. Now they hold onto profits, calling in suckers to bet for them and not promising results until all of them are dead.

Most libraries are government property. As a general rule if it’s a government building you can’t carry a weapon. Local, state or fed. My local library has an explicit no conceivable weapons sign at the entrance as per South Carolina state law…

They try to memory hole something in the LOC and every librarian in the country will show them how dangerous the deep state can be. Those “no weapons” signs at libraries will start disappearing into the periodical file.

Everything prior to 2018 is archived in the Library of Congress. It’s where all of my beer reviews are.

Linus uploads to FTP and lets the world mirror. I just let the LOC archive my stuff.

Memory hole: A system for altering or erasing inconvenient historical documents, photographs, and articles.

I’ve seen this one. It’s great. At the same time as a revolution is fomenting he gets out of prison and gets elected president. It’s a classic.

I remember when that was Russia’s and the US’s job. They’re taking our job!

They are going to tear it down and turn the remodel into a grift machine. I’ll be surprised if it ever reopens in his lifetime.

The grift is so bad that we won’t need to demolish anything to erase Trump. He will have torn down everything in order to rebuild it in his own image. Rebuilds that will never happen. He will leave craters everywhere for us to rebuild in his wake.

Ask a Trump supporter why they want higher property taxes.

“…long enough to become the villain.”

I’m kinda mixed on this. Girl boss flex but also a complete grab at more power.

Then we shall have to investigate the DoJ.

I miss it. SLRN and proper score file made it the best information tool on the internet back in the day.
