Jo’s needs to sit down. FIA is nuts, but Jos is a clown.

Liberty arguably turned the commercial aspect of formula 1 around, and FIA is ruining it with morality police bullshit. Nobody’s interested in stopping body piercings or clutching pearls over swearing besides Ben.

In the dark ages, Mosaic downloaded Firefox and IE. Time truly is a wheel.

Best use of chrome is downloading another browser.

Yeah, the instruction set and the implementation in hardware is absurd at this point.

AMD and Intel have already partnered on killing x64 in the longer run and work is under way.

The current democratic party isn’t standing for trans rights any better than anyone else. Perhaps individual politicians are, but the party has a lot of de facto republicans in the ranks. So vote for them or not, they aren’t going to make things better for folks that are trans. They also aren’t ending wars, reducing military spending, helping vulnerable people seeking asylum, helping homeless people, providing free mental healthcare or national healthcare at all, and so on. Hell, they haven’t enshrined abortion rights into law in the past almost 50 years.

People vote for democrats because of tradition and lesser-of-the-evils reasons. That’s it. That’s a shitty place to be, and should embarrass us the voters as well as the party.

Trans rights are human rights, and how you treat anyone in your society is how you treat everyone. Democrats were scared in the '80s and '90s to support gay people for this exact reason, and instead of losing elections they started winning because people realize gay people are people. They lost elections because they weren’t brave enough to stand with the courage of their convictions, and in my opinion that’s what they deserved.

How are they intertwined? Telegram allows public posts and livestreaming, neither of which they moderate. That’s nothing to do with encryption and everything to do with pushing the legal boundaries they knew existed.

Anonymity, no. But content privacy yes. Whether Telegram is actually private or can MITM content is another question entirely.

This is to do with content moderation not encryption.

You’re coming at this from a perspective that suggests people should have alternatives to cars, or maybe even that people deserve alternatives to cars. And that’s fundamentally not how a shocking number of people think. Heaven help you if you suggest things like low cost fares for the poor or even free access to public transit.

Only now? It’s been two years of this and now they’ve had too much? No partial credit should be given for people that continued to participate when it was clear what was happening.

Because the Olympics aren’t good for anything but ruining nations and memes.

You missed the part where the latch is deforming, causing it to not close or alert the driver. The software fix is yet another attempt to dodge the fact that they do not have enough repair capacity or financial reserves for a major fleet recall.

Huge surprise, yeah. It’s funny how a little campaign contribution can go such a long way.

He successsfully got ByteDance to use US cloud providers to run their service. Specifically cloud providers whose CEOs donated to his campaign. It was smokescreen, and apparently people believed it.

Quali is a joke on this track, and it’s going to be worse with more teams coming in the future. The race has been pointless for decades. No attempt at format change is going to improve the Monaco race, so it should really just be cancelled and officially turned into a media and fans weekend instead.

When the most exciting thing to happen all day is whether or not Carlos would be allowed back in, that’s a pathetic result for the event.

Park the cars on a display and leave them there for three days so the spectators can walk around and be seen. Pretty much the only think that 81 of these events has been useful for, it seems. At least in the past breakdowns might change the order, but at this point there’s no reason to keep going back there. The event gets worse every damn year, and this year was such a pathetic display of who can drive the slowest that I basically fast forwarded through most of the event.

The history of post WW2 era is the forcing function. For better or worse.
