I backup to my computer. It actually has more storage than iCloud and I don’t trust any cloud with my private data.

Everything turns to shit in the end.

The $1m is being donated personally by Tim Apple. Not from Apple Inc., so bears no relation to Apple’s revenue.

I’m guessing closer to home (something about an oversized apple).

I bet the really juicy healthcare package that members of Congress have isn’t on the table for review.

Putin will be pissing himself laughing as Trump dismantles America.

Yet most Americans voted for the guy saying that he would deport them all.

Fascism is something that comes to pass because people allow it to happen.

Fascism is actually something that comes to pass because people vote fascists into office. The Nazis were actually voted into office in Germany. Trump was very candid about what he’ll do once he gets into office and still won a very resounding victory.

Or they just want worse for the minority.

The truth that most people know, but don’t want to say out loud.

They might not have been the deciding factor but they certainly played an important role in handing him the presidency.

The earliest that “lesson” will have any relevance is in 4 years time. In the meantime Trump is going to give Netanyahu everything he needs to quickly level Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon and start construction on a greater Israel. In 4 years time whatever “lesson” the Dems might have learnt will be meaningless.

America is not a nation of mostly good people with a few vocal “bad apples.” We are a nation of hateful, scared bigots, and we proved it in a big way.

A big chunk of the rest of the world have telling you that for decades, but you guys believed the lie about some “shining city upon a hill”. The American dream was always built on the misery of others.

You can actually (indirectly) torrent on iOS via seed box. I use SonicBit, which has an iOS app. I find it’s actually more convenient than torrenting directly as the files are stored and seeded online yet still accessible to me when I need them. Then you can download the files to your iPhone/iPad.

We should be glad that WhatsApp with E2EE is what people jumped to, instead of Facebook Messenger

WhatsApp is part of Facebook. You really think they operate differently?

He’ll keep defaming her because he knows it doesn’t cost him a penny. He knows that he has his legions of mugs and idiots who will keep giving up their social security checks for him.

And Elon Musk would probably be exactly the same if not that he would be totally cancelled today. Xitter (pronounced Shitter) is supposed to be his newspaper where he can trumpet his far-right BS, but we have the ability to push back now which didn’t exist in Henry Ford’s time.

They don’t understand that jobs have been going to less qualified white men, instead of more qualified minorities for decades.

They certainly do understand that. That changing is what scares them so much.

And the problem with heavy automation, as Japan is finding, is that machines and robots don’t generate the income tax revenue needed to pay for an aging population. Hence Japan is finding it necessary to allow more immigration.

the attacks on civilian infrastructure have the actual military goal of breaking resistance – which is known to generally not work, hence why it’s a war crime.

I think it’d be a war crime even if it generally worked.

We are so baffled in Europe about how a country that preaches human rights around the world revels in denying its own people one of the most fundamental human rights. Truly mind boggling.
