So we’re taking that code out of systemd, right?

What about King Kong? That was pretty big at the time. Sure, it’s more of a supporting role, but still significant.

IF you have an alternative provider of that good you’re tariffing, you make that provider more attractive to buyers in your nation. That provider could be a local one, or an international one in a country you don’t tariff. Introducing tariffs basically cut off your market to the supplier you’re tariffing.

Trump’s idiotic tariffs were global. All products, all nations. No local supplier for most things as the US makes bugger all now. No alternative suppliers because he tariffed everyone.

You’ve seen where they want to build this, right? Heat is not an issue.

So don’t build it. It needs too much power.

I hear jet fuel melts steal beams.

Also the younger generation needs to step up and run for office. The disillusionment with politics runs deep, but just staying out of it isn’t an option.

In that movie where that guy kisses his sister. 👉👈

That’s the sequel.

Yes. You’re being a dick.

Elephants aren’t religious (as far as I know) yet even they will gather to say goodbye to a family member. When the day comes, you’ll want to too.

If that’s true in the US, then god help you. I know they still exist in the UK.

The 2008 bailout happened because it was the banking sector that was exposed. If the consumer banks fail, everybody’s accounts go up in flames.

Part of getting that bailout was that the banks had to restructure to insulate commercial banking from investment banking. Supposedly the investment arm can now get taken out, and the damage to the commercial arm is limited. I’ll believe that when I see it. The big question at the moment is “how exposed are the banks?”.

Oracle, Nvidia, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic are all massively exposed. Nvidia and Microsoft might be big enough for a decimated version of themselves to come out the other side. Everyone else is going to the wall. No need to bail them out though. That’s a contained explosion.

If the bank are making loans of hundreds of billions thinking they’re sure fire money makers, but actually they’re piles of shit, then it’s 2008 again. That’s when we see if they really protected the commercial arms of their banks.

Well…a condom would let nothing through.

Are you saying you’re a broken condom?

In this case it’s an advantage. If your enemy has a blind spot you exploit it.

A lot of people don’t realise SKG is a foothold in exactly that fight. If you establish precedent on something as “frivolous” as video games you can use it on much higher value thing too.

This is what the GPL was meant to fight against. Having boxes running software that is still under the control of the manufacturer.

Instead people complained that it was hard to use the code at work. YES. THAT’S THE POINT.

My point was that they fabricated a pretense to avoid needing one, just as you said. You’re making the same fucking point.

Did you stop reading at that point?

Not a lawful authority.

He was flight side at the airport. So either:

• …they’re not subject to US law, and it’s fair to search his possessions without a warrant. In which case he’s also not subject to US law so destruction of evidence is fair game.
• …everyone is subject to US law and it’s an illegal search.
