Daily reminder it was a US company known as IBM that developed the number system that was later tattooed on Jewish prisoners arms. Go USA!

He is right, we have had enough garbage. Will he throw himself away!?

Squeezes water from a rock

Too much logic, time for a car bomb.

Hegemony = the power or control that one group, state, or culture has over others

Looks like we just found our next Trumptard guys!

Oh! Can I play? Let me transcode a video into a new format and put it on a blu-ray and then delete the old file! Transformative, lol.

Yes, let's check back in a couple of years on this one as there is no reason to go round and round when the reality is we both have our differing opinions.

I agree the most likely outcome will be court action when companies begin engaging in open cyberwarfare with each other under the pretense of stopping criminal activity. The US is not new when it comes to industrial espionage and by sanctioning this behavior this administration is opening the door wider to a dystopian future.

Obviously this process will become corrupted right away as the safe guards on private corporations are non-existent compared to the military regardless of any claims made by this administration. This administration has already shown time and time again they will use corruption to control the legal system (see charging people for vandalism when the job was botched, see going after colleges under the guise of civil rights, see going after US officials for nonsense crimes, see going after our constitutional rights with executive orders, see pardoning allies thus circumventing our legal system for profit).

Birtherism is not even close to the same thing and I find it insulting you continue to pussyfoot around with it. The fact that Obama ignored an obviously false and racist attack isn't in the same realm of Mconnell hiding his medical condition from his constituents and failing to do his job. Frankly, I don't know where the fuck you are trying to go with this. If he came clean with the truth it would end this charade. This is in no way what Obama dealt with.

You fail to see the connection of Trump purposely destroying our countries ability to fight cyber terrorism and then trying to privatize it for profit. I am beginning to see you are being purposely obtuse. Hand waving the facts because they don't fit your seemingly naive interpretation of what is going on is disingenuous.

I won't engage with your silly game of cherry picking what Trump as done. Why? Because it is garbage as Trump has done just the opposite.

Why was his recent raise bad?

Well first of all it isn't all federal employees. In fact, he gave them paltry 1% and is planning on doing similarly in 2027. Even more damning is this is actually following a preordained increase formula. Biden gave 4.6%, 5.2% and 4.5% in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

I am at a loss with you and I do think everyone is correct in down voting you. Having said that, you are not a completely unreasonable person. I appreciate that.

Currently socialism to these guys = Not having a corrupt government ran by special interest.

This is what they are afraid of. Not socialism coming to town but a government that actually works. The corrupt media is pushing bullshit to benefit the wealthy class so the people don't come for their golden goose.

Well, you would be wrong.

There is a difference between being an apologist and a realist. You seem to be more of an apologist than a realist hence the pushback you see on Lemmy now and likely in the future.

We can have a gentleman's bet that this EO will lead to more governmental dependence on the private sector and more corruption as a result. I already know what is going to happen so if you want to take the bet like Andy did with Trump and regulating big tech please check back to see how wrong you are in a couple of years.

The fact that you seriously bring up birtherism as having some truth or as some kind of bizarre conspiracy comparison plays your hand so to speak. The fact that they have not released any audio or video is just ridiculous. McConnell's camp created this conspiracy to cover up the fact that he is unfit. How do we know? He ain't doing his fucking job.

Your bizarre insistence they did a good thing is not supported by any sort of reality. This is your opinion, one that all reasonable experts have disagreed with.

The reality is this administration started a cyber war after they fucked over the United States ability to fight it. If it was not for Congress the current administration would have made far deeper cuts. Now you are here to praise them because they started a cyber war that they can't fight and they want to privatize our ability to fight foreign actors for their profits. That is pure corruption!

This is obviously a fucking cash grab that will continue to weaken our existing system to benefit the Tech Bros. There is a reason they have been running a constant AI is the best hacker propaganda pieces all this last year. You really must be blind not to see this.

This is classic Republican nonsense backed by their extreme self-serving ideology that the private sector does it better than the government (after they sabotage it). This constant theme amounts to shifting governmental funding to their pocket book and you are here to apparently cheer on their corruption as a "gud thing".

So you are saying people who hate someone or something so bad they can't see the benefit of it. Like hating Hitler so much but not seeing what he did to help the Germans!? I am sorry, you crossed the line of reasonable in your pursuit of being a devil's advocate.

Then, so desperate to be right or perhaps get your point across, you come up with with your own conspiracy theory that is not evidenced in any way shape or form. If Mconnell had just fallen they wouldn't be hiding him. Give me a break. The conspiracy is obviously he can no longer conduct his position, the conspiracy theory is he died or just fell.

I think that Trump is a fucking disaster and a complete disgrace and no, Trump signing an increase in no way makes up for haphazardly gutting the federal government with the help of AI idiot 20 year old hackers and the pedophile Muskrat.

Chinese outnumber US cyber security by 50 to 1 according the rhetoric/propaganda and the solution is to attempt to deputize US companies to engage in cyber warfare!? The solution is obvious. Hire and train more cyber security experts. Instead this administration has done just the fucking opposite.

Instead of working with Congress on a supposedly bipartisan issue his solution is an EO, just like every time because his administration thinks they rule instead of govern. Just stupidity and inability to govern properly is the reality of this administration. They are just as corrupt and inept as the last time. To believe anyone is dumb enough to carry water for them without knowing the truth is beyond me. That is why you are so sus.

This is another obvious hamfisted attempt to privatize important military operations to enrich the private sector and take power away from the government and hand it to the same psychopaths pushing AI. If you can't see this it is because you are either obtuse or fucking blind.

For what most people use their computer for Win95 was already good enough. Microsoft has just been charging for the same old shit since then.
