Q: Why was it too dangerous for you to fly on Air Force One but not for the press?

TRUMP: Well, I don't know, I think actually the plane I that I flew on was at greater risk

Q: Why do you say that?

TRUMP: Because that would be the plane they would be more likely to go for.

No, you used the press corp as bait and left them to die while you scampered away in a catering truck.

    1. This bill is being pushed by Meta and they are NOT going to stop with age verification. It is not about "protecting children" and it never has been. It's always been about surveillance and control. Meta wants to know who you are, where you are, what you buy, what you download, who you associate with and what your politics are.

    2. If Meta succeeds in putting all this on your computer at the operating system level, then what is the point of even having a VPN anymore? Also Meta will sell this information to anyone who asks for it.

    If internet companies would fix VOIP protocol, so that spammers couldn't spoof any phone numbers they wanted, then 95% of spam calls would disappear.

    The Do Not Call registry was the easiest thing in the world for Congress to do, because it didn't actually do anything and it didn't cost them anything to do. You can't catch a spammer unless you can identify them. And you can't do that with a spoofed phone number

    Every time Microsoft does an update, they reduce functionality. Basic functions like print, search and file storage get moved into sub-sub-sub menus. The point of this is to make room on the main screen for ads. Screwing up your work flow gives you more time to look at them. This is intentional.

    I find it stressful to live in a country where his goons can murder me or deport me for no reason at all. And I have no hope for any justice.

    Fuck his stress. I hope it tortures him to madness.
