Thus far Trumps White House has proven that the judiciary can “object” all they want, but unless they are prepared to force them to not do something some how, then the objection is meaningless.

Man, Jay-Z has some skinny legs.

This whole thing is a textbook example of how bad shady marketing today and can really cause you a lot of pain tomorrow. If Apple had not been so quick to let PR write checks their ass was not ready to cash the conversation around Siri would still just be the casual jokes about it sucking, and not more serious public blackeyes.

I wonder if she knew he was actively supporting the politics of people that hate her.

As someone in and from the US, good. Private companies are far to prevalent in public institutions all over the world. Something as basic and fundamental as word processing should not be controlled by a small select few huge international companies.

Putting the guy that hasn’t been at the head of a profitable business in his entire life in a position to influence the US economy was a really really bad idea, twice? Shocking.

Despite his daughter’s death, the father stated, “Everybody has to die.”

Jesus, I can’t imagine being so into cult beliefs that I would have that attitude about my own kids, and actively work to make it happen sooner to boot.

I mean sure, we all will die, but it goes against the most basic biological imperative of all living things to make sure their kids outlive them. Must be some strong Koolaid. Dude needs to fuck off with that Jonestown-isque mindset.

Gonna need that free Healthcare after I get done eating all of that ice cream.

Sounds like another way of saying “there actually isn’t a profitable business in this.”

But since we live in crazy world, once he gets his exemption to copyright laws for AI, someone needs to come up with a good self hosted AI toolset that makes it legal for the average person to pirate stuff at scale as well.

No, I don’t think that is where the cuts will be. But it should be.

It would hurt badly at the beginning, but it would be better in the long run if Mozilla were to lose that Google search payment. Take some of the financial hit out of the c-suite comp package. Let those more interested in tech industry CEO money go work for the likes of Google, etc. Mozilla should be looking to attract someone whose singular motivation is not money.

Get the ring to Mordor Mr. Frodo.

I week long boycott will do nothing. If that is the most you are prepared to inconvenience yourself to send a message, then just give up now.

While this is nice, I would really like to see more fully independent options that are not just a proxy for Google/Bing. I realize that is a lot easier said than done, but this kind of solution is not providing a real alternative in anything but name only. Google/Microsoft fully control the APIs being used. so this only exists so long as those they are trying to provide an alternative for allow them to exist. Which will not scale if they are anything but a blip on the radar.

When are they going to start coming for the black folks so we can watch Clarence Thomas squirm?

Dozens of them were for already-paid subscriptions to The Associated Press, Politico and other media services that the Republican administration said it would discontinue. Others were for research studies that have been awarded, training that has taken place, software that has been purchased and interns who have come and gone.

They turned off auto renew and deleted a few rows and columns from some spreadsheets. Top notch bussiness-ing there Elon.

All such communication from DOGE to federal employees should be ignored by the agengies being targeted.

Make them have to actually do more than “talk big”. Most people like Musk don’t have the actual backbone to do anymore than talk.

No point in replying, odds are they aren’t going to read all of those emails anyway. Or if you do, don’t put much effort into it.

If they want to clean out a department, a well worded email isn’t going to be what saves your job.

Even if you are one of the ones not fired, it would be debatable if working there after the dust settles would be better than the bread line.

Just more government fingers in places they shouldn’t be from the party of supposedly small government.

Oh I don’t disagree, it is worth it. I ended up paying for it myself before I switched to Joplin. I just went down a rabbit hole of realizing I technically could self host the backend and stubbornly tried to make it work well beyond what was good sense at the time. 😅
