Correct me if I’m wrong here but a company can’t dictate what you do on your own time on your own hardware, so I assume this simply affects work computers. Assuming thats the case I don’t really see a problem here. I’ve never been able to download any applications at all on any work computer I’ve ever used short of apps the company itself uses.
Seems completely understandable to me to bar employees from using a competing service especially if there are genuine security concerns.
Everybody saying this is why their products are shit are really confusing me. It’s not like Microsoft just started being terrible. They’ve been terrible for a real long time. Way before AI was a thing. This is just a symptom of Microsoft’s awfulness not a reason for it.
If I’m understanding correctly there’s two books being removed. And the Smithsonian is saying the loan agreement with the owner of the books, Rev. Brown, expires in May. So they’re returning them to him to rotate in new exhibits per regular operating procedure. If that’s true I don’t really understand the issue here. Rev. Brown seems to be under the impression that they’re removing the items because of Trump’s order. But he, at least in this article, doesn’t even address the Smithsonian’s explanation so I don’t really know what’s going on here. But it really doesn’t seem like this is because of Trump’s policy. If it was why would they just be removing these two books and nothing else?
Yeah. I didn’t fully read the article lol. Thats on me.
Didn’t the commercial use unlicensed music too? I feel like I remember there being a lawsuit for unpaid royalties or something.
Edit: Yup!
Edit 2: I’m an idiot who didn’t fully read what I posted.
Is that a threat?
Then Elon is going to tweet out some nonsense misrepresenting the report just like he did with their report they put out last September showing mishandled government spending to the tune of 2.3 trillion dollars between 2003 and 2023. (He first lied and said doge found the mishandled payments when they didn’t. And also said the full 2.3 trillion were Medicaid payments to individuals outside the US. Which was just a blatant fabrication)
Eh I see the point you’re making but cartels in Mexico are a whole other breed to what’s here in the US. Our politicians aren’t being murdered in droves by cartels like they are in Mexico.
There we go. I was waiting to be represented.
He can’t just “do it anyway” if people refuse to comply with his orders and the courts refuse to back him up. What do you think Trump is going to do? Walk over to somebody’s desk, pick them up out of their chair, and physically throw them out the building himself?
And this guys proposal isn’t to punish the administration. It’s to make the administration ineffectual by having judges ignore cases brought forward by the administration until the administration complies with other court orders.
For instance. Trump tries to fire a guy. Guy says “no you don’t have the authority.” Trump says “yes I do. I’ll go to the courts and get them to prove you wrong.” Courts go “don’t care. You’re ignoring [some other court order against trump]. We wont hear this case until you comply with the previous order.” The result would be that the guy keeps his job despite whether or not Trump can or can’t fire him. At least that’s this guy’s idea to my understanding.
I’m also not trying to say it would be effective or even remotely doable. Just pointing out that criticizing the plan for something it’s not attempting to do doesn’t make any sense.
I assume they’re referring to actual hardware. I’d imagine the percentage of gamers playing emulated games is much higher than 14%.
Edit: Found the article
It appears I am correct.
The whole point of the plan, if you were to read the article, is to deal with an administration not obeying the rule of law.
Who tf says we’re not mad? We’re fucking furious.
Well no. As others have said the force in the pole will travel at the speed of sound.
Though if you were to wiggle the flashlight back and forth really fast the spotlight on the moon would travel “faster” than the speed of light.
Right. So if I have he/him in my email signature I get fired. But if i have hugely racist and problematic tweets that are less than a year old while having almost no experience or credentials whatsoever other than being a little buddy buddy with Musk I get to push out dangerous untested code to the most important payment system in the country so musk can block social security benefits for Grandma like he blocks tweets talking about how terrible a father he is. Got it.
Like, isn’t that an admission that your business has no value?
People are still trying to push this nonsense that democratic candidates need to appeal to the objectively dumbest people in this country in order to be a viable candidate. Its ridiculous. Red voters are only ever going to vote red. They always have and they always will. Left leaning people in this country outnumber right leaning people by a wide margin (because reality has a left leaning bias). The issue is that dem individuals often just don’t vote when a candidate is put forward who is cowtowing to the right. The right still votes right and the left doesn’t vote. Then we get what we have now. If dems put forward a politician that progressive voters actually want they’ll have a much better chance. And AOC is probably a more well liked dem politician right now (among the left) than anyone else except maybe Bernie. But he’s probably too old at this point. So AOC makes the most sense right now to me and probably anyone else with a brain.
