This is yet another reason why the president shouldn’t be a king; he shouldn’t be able to make decisions that influence his own security negatively.

The head of his security should simply say “oh fucking hell’s no” and that’d be it. This plane could be sabotaged in a million damn near impossible to detect ways. It could be bugged in a million undetectable ways, it’s a security nightmare.

If he’d still wanted a flying palace, it’d be way, way cheaper to build one from scratch and be safe and trustworthy than to test, check, and retrofit this one.

His head of secut should be able to override his decisions when it comes to his safety

Then again, this is Cheetos USA now, so I’d say please go for it. Let quatar spy and learn all the US’s secrets and then when they’re done with the useful idiot, let them execute him by crashing his plane remotely. The world, the US, it’ll all be a better place without him and he’ll be doing exactly what he wants, he’s just too dumb to keep himself alive

And even then. Integrated circuits in some system may have been replaced by fake versions carrying some extra functions, it would be relatively cheap to have this done, especially for a kingdom with billions in spare change, and damn near impossible to detect

Yes, that is what he’s suggesting, and right after that, massive censorship follows

No, get ready for massive censorship

Porn is on the chopping block in the US. That is maybe less important but it’s huge

Next up websites and tv programs that carry the “wrong” political message

Yeaaahh, but does it though?

I’ve put loads of regular users on Linux and on average they have less issues than they had with windows

That is ignoring the installation. Linux install is download iso, burn it on USB, boot computer with said USB, run the install program, go through the 5-6 pages which takes about 15 minutes, reboot and the machine is done.

Windows 11 install is downloading ISO, burn it on USB, boot computer with said USB and then the boot up immet fails with this vague error. Spend a good hour on Internet searches to find that it’s some bios setting which is fine for Linux, but whatever. Make setting, reboot USB! Setup now crashes again on other gauge error. Spend another 4 hours on sraxhes only to find out that windows iso burning requires a special windows only burning program that will “fix” it and is totally not done on purpose to sabotage Linux users, but fine, were only 5 hours in and still have to start so boot up a VM in Linux, find that usb burner somewhere, download and install that, then download the iso again, burn it, dump it again in the machine and presto, er have an installer, yay!

Go through the pages, and more pages and more crap and install this sponsored content and watch ads and now you need an account at Microsoft and more pages and do you love me? Please let me know that you love me, more feedback because I’m Microsoft and I need feedback and now do you want these games that you hate, and you must install office you will love it even though you’d rather commit sepuku, and a fucking hour of clicking a thousand times later, windows is finally installed …?

Seriously, if I say that installing Linux was ten times easier than windows, it would be the understatement of the year.

In it’s general use, nobody will run into weird shit like they do on windows and to top it off, you got no issues with viruses, no ads nor spyware in the operating system itself, and shit just works.

Yeah, Linux has bugs, just like windows, but the experience is ten times better, I’ll die happily and proud on that hill

No Republican has ever given two shits about state rights, personal rights or even human rights in general. They never stop screeching about it but they don’t give a shit.

They only care about their own pockets, the end.

Whenever I hear some famous American talk about how they weee gh good guys and that they want to be the good guys again…

You never were the good guys, its just now for the first time that Americans really too suffer the consequences of their shitty leadership.

The US funded and directed a dictator to come to power in Iran, which directly caused current theocracy

Same for Chile same for Nicaragua same for…

The US always has been the evil one, it’s just that it was slightly less evil than the USSR and it gave it’s citizens slightly more rights and it treated its allies well.

THAT is what’s gone now. Allies are now treated like enemies, and citizens are now being fucked, and it’s rapidly becoming more evil than the USSR ever was.

The US always has been evil

On a side note: Well controlled capitalism is great for everyone and can be the power source for a huge socialist system, see Finland, the Netherlands. Unbridled capitalism gets you the shit in the US. You were warned, ma y many times, you k ew this would happen and didn’t care. That is what changed, now you have out of control billionaires. You have a choice: go like France a few hundred years ago, or become slaves. I’d you want to be a slave, that’s fine, that’s your choice, but don’t force that fate onto the test of the world

Saying that it’s aesthetically pleasing to see a historic building on fire is sure to get some harsh responses because that is what smooth brain posts typically do.

Ik very anti religion, but I’m normal enough to understand that it’s a historic and monument building that should be preserved. It being on fire is a tragedy and if during tragedies you start making fun of said tragedy then you shouldn’t play sad boy because someone told you to fuck off

So trump now owes Qatar a 400 billion dollar favor, it’s that simple

(For those not getting it, it’s a jab at doge mixing up million and billion)

We’re all laughing but next up guys sort of shit will be picked up by US pharmaceutical companies who crank up the cost of s good chakra cleansing to the point where nobody can afford them without going bankrupt, then what are we going to do?

I too say dumb shit when I’m high, I never thought I could get a high level government job for saying dumb shit while high.

“Handbrake” is quite good at making high quality mkv files, you should be able to Automate a lot of it

Aahhwww, that is so sad, I run Linux and soon our entire office will.

Guess we won’t be using teams then, ooaaahhhwww, so sad

Don’t worry, teams is always somewhere between 10%-30% broken, always something n doesn’t work, there are always a bunch of people that can’t get in the meeting, that can’t share screens all of the sudden because fuck you, that’s why

Teams is the absolute worst and not a day goes by without people shitting on it, and we’re only using it because most of our customers do but internally we will switch to something open source soon, because I get to make that decision 😎

Yeah, but Ernie cannot commit war crimes, so he’s out

I’m at the point where I’m going to say that we need to prohibit facial recognition devices for companies and peiplemin general, and mostly for government too.

This shit is going too far. I know I don’t have a right to privacy when I’m outsidey home but I will very fucking well have a tight to not have my privacy abused to hell and back when I’m outside. No, Facebook, you don’t get to facially recognize me on the street and then follow my location everywhere, monitor what I’m doing while Im not even on your fucking website.

The only place where I remotely think it might be allowed in a very limited fashion is by governments and them only after OK from a judge and even them only in a very limited set of circumstances, like a missing child or a known > violent criminal who’s on the run. Couple this with harsh penalties for police officers who would break those rules. This, of course, only works in well established democracies where police is very well controlled, else it’s just abuse again as well.

Beyond that tiny scope, fuck your facial recognition, and fuuuuuuccckkk Facebook and fuck mark Zuckerberg with an umbrella.

So far, AI has replaced little routine and has tried to replace a lot of art and enjoyment

I think it’s the one thing available to us that can make sure we’re still alive and useful after AGI really comes into existence.

Once real real AGI AI is here with access to robotucs, we will either be relegated to the status of pet or, judging on how badly we treat the world and eachother, culled to more manageable proportions or just plain exterminated. The only way for us to continue to exist would be a direct brain to computer interface that gives us access to the same brain power as AI by then will have

As samxary as that is, I think that for humanity it’s the only way to survive. If done right through open source principles, it’ll be a system you can control yourself and activate/deactivate on command, and as needed. If it’s something they comes from corporate America it’ll force you to buy useless shit into perpetuity as a mindless drone. If it comes from China or Russia, it’ll just make you a mindless drone.

It’ll only be possible to be a good thing if we fix humanity first, so yeah…

Yeah no, only a select few special Ai companies, of course

ssh.serverdomain scripts that immediately can do things like turn on the required vpn. In combo with SSH keys and non port 22, it’s ideal
