NPR [1] source provides a bit more information on the person.

Trump told the show that a minister recognized the unidentified suspect from the photos released to the public, and went to his father. The father “convinced the son,” Trump said, and took him to a friend who happened to be a U.S. Marshal, to turn him in. NPR has not confirmed whether the individual Trump is referring to is the same person of interest from the FBI’s photos.

I wonder what distinctive feature of those photos the minister recognized. The released photos to me were very generic.

… and release of Epstein files.

It wouldn’t surprise me if GOP killed their own political pawns to at least delay the Epstein files debacle and their own pedophile in chief being implicated in them.

Probably wanting to delay it for as long as possible until the dude croaks during a live interview.

Tom Artiom Alexandrovich may not be claiming diplomatic immunity now. Maybe the political climate is too turbulent to do so? But does it preclude him from claiming it in the future?

I want to hope he faces the full consequences for his actions. But this country has become so corrupt and full of incompetent leaders, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pedophile of the United States administration works a “deal” to get the charges silently dropped when Israel or Netanyahu asks for it through a back channel.

The Pedophile of the United States, folks.

Be a billionaire, get a few of those No Preset Spending Limit cards (Amex centurion), charge $36.65T spread across those NPSL cards, then fuck off to your private island. Then watch as the world burns 😈

Shit posting aside …

The Treasury has run this program for years, and people have donated $67.3 million since 1996 …

What’s the benefit? Tax deduction?

Any regular person throwing money into this needs a mental evaluation with emergency protection order.

This is an article from 2025-02-07, the backdoor payout to this turd does suggest he tried some back channeling in 2024 to get US regulators to green light it. But I did see their efforts failed last year [1]. Then their leadership tried to IPO on London’s stock exchange [2]. However the IPO in London eventually failed earlier this month [3] and they are now trying to get IPO listing on Hong Kong’s stock exchange.

Maybe I missed some recent news to suggest IPO is back on the table in US?

Ignoring clickbait title, this is impressive. Networked devices used to be the limit on data transfer.

Are there any devices even capable at reading/writing at 125,000G/sec?

Seems breakthroughs here are more relevant to for backhaul networks.

What’s killed American innovation itself is the billionaires and their lap dogs — the greedy capitalists, vulture capitalists, private equity, and hedge funds.

Outsourcing to China and decimating our local manufacturing industries, and subsequently losing important skills over generations is a problem caused by these greedy fucks.

It’s no wonder the USA is no longer competitive. Greedy Wall Street fucks in the 1970s-1980s sold our future so they could make a pretty penny in their generation.

Fuck reaganomics. Fuck trickle down economic theory. Fuck the centrists and GOP that allowed this corporate/billionaire welfare state to take hold over this country.

Google, Apple, and rest of big tech are pregnable despite their access to vast amounts of capital, and labor resources.

I used to be a big supporter of using their “social sign on” (or more generally speaking, single sign on) as a federated authentication mechanism. They have access to brilliant engineers thus naively thought - "well these companies are well funded, and security focused. What could go wrong having them handle a critical entry point for services?”

Well as this position continues to age poorly, many fucking aspects can go wrong!

1. These authentication services owned by big tech are much more attractive to attack. Finding that one vulnerability in their massive attack vector is difficult but not impossible.
2. If you use big tech to authenticate to services, you are now subject to the vague terms of service of big tech. Oh you forgot to pay Google store bill because card on file expired? Now your Google account is locked out and now lose access to hundreds of services that have no direct relation to Google/Apple
3. Using third party auth mechanisms like Google often complicate the relationship between service provider and consumer. Support costs increase because when a 80 yr old forgot password or 2FA method to Google account. They will go to the service provider instead of Google to fix it. Then you spend inordinate amounts of time/resources trying to fix issue. These costs eventually passed on to customer in some form or another

Which is why my new position is for federated authentication protocols. Similar to how Lemmy and the fediverse work but for authentication and authorization.

Having your own IdP won’t fix the 3rd issue, but at least it will alleviate 1st and 2nd concerns

Before settling in Foster City, California, in 1977, the Thiel family lived in South Africa and South West Africa (modern-day Namibia). Peter changed elementary schools seven times. He attended a German-language school in Swakopmund that required students to wear uniforms and utilized corporal punishment, such as striking students’ hands with a ruler. He said this experience instilled a distaste for uniformity and regimentation later reflected in his support for individualism and libertarianism.[20][21] The German community in Swakopmund that Thiel grew up in was known at the time for its continued glorification of Nazism.[22][23]

Peter Thiel is one of the many money men that want to privatize everything, dismantle federal government, hand keys to “network states” (company towns but somehow worse).

Goal is none or self regulation. Maximize profits. They want to shape the world into this hyper capitalistic society and surveillance state. Palantir is just one of those companies in a massive portfolio to fulfill this stupid dream shared by many industrialists.

Adult man children run this country while many people struggling day to day or living paycheck to paycheck. Food and water supply poisoned with “forever chemicals”. Plus a myriad of other issues that remain unaddressed (climate change).

Their bickering is news worthy because it’s “entertaining”. We prefer to be medicated with entertainment rather than deal with real issues. The billionaires have us fighting a culture war with ourselves rather than having a class war against the billionaire class that run this country.

This president and administration is a hot mess.

TACO

I say this as an American.

I hope tourism to USA plummets to nil or near 0 while orange man is in office. Have already seen a vast majority of conferences move their venues away from US. The few that have stayed in US had low participation/attendance.

This country only understands $$$, unfortunately. The people that voted for this idiocracy are very much likely the same people impacted negatively by orangutan administration policies.

It’s a bit of extra work but worth it to setup in my opinion. Especially when dealing with multiple creditors.

I don’t see any issue with this - using Wallet to manually initiate payment. It’s not wrong or right. More of a matter of preference.

I prefer to limit access/storage of routing numbers/account numbers to very few people and entities as possible. And prefer to avoid risk of mistake on creditor end withdrawing more than agreed.

I don’t know about you. But I have many other lines of credit (mortgage, multiple CCs, auto) and deal with many services (utilities) besides AC. Have even used bill pay to issue checks to apartment complexes and landlords.

Using my banks bill pay feature gives me a single view into outgoing debits to creditors/services.

Right - why not call it what it is? State is employing military against civilians.

State Sponsored Genocide.

apple these days is acting more and more like Microsoft with these shitty updates

There’s artificial intelligence, then there’s apple intelligence. Going to start calling dolt responses like this as “Apple Intelligence”

Maybe I can gaslight ChatGPT algos: “That’s such an apple intelligence response. Re-do X”
