  • Not sure if this is sarcasm. HAM can be part of the solution but I don't know if the technology is nearly as easy to use or accessible as a cellphone. Phones do have drawbacks of course, like tracking, but the Signal for one, does have an API so you could potentially use its network for messaging.

  • Pros and cons on the app store thing. Microsoft may curate a bit more but I think it's inherently more dangerous. A malicious Windows app probably doesn't have as many hurdles to get the necessary access to take over your system or otherwise cause trouble. To my knowledge, flatpaks can't run with root permissions unless you executed as root (i.e. enter your password). Seeing that pop up should be way more of a red flag than seeing the "elevate permissions" pop up on Windows.

  • I just found out yesterday that my wife, who has good credit, has a 32% APR on one of her cards. Republicans that would applaud these free market behaviors but also condemn abortions are complete charlatans. I just searched and came across dozens of Bible verses about how you're not supposed to lend money with interest.

  • But plenty of Americans are still dying of malnutrition, dehydration, heat stroke, hypothermia, and many other preventable diseases. You think we'd be worse off if the average American had more money?

    And nothing against helping starving children in foreign countries or whatnot, but if we're so bad off that people think more police and prisons are the answer we're clearly underinvesting in our own well-being.

  • As far as I'm concerned he's this century's Benedict Arnold. He didn't push when Trump broke the norms during transition, he didn't push when an insurrectionist walked free, he didn't get the fuck out of the way like he promised, he didn't read project 2025 and try to shore up any government agencies or educate employees on how to resist his tactics, he didn't order any recounts or audits, and he didn't leverage any of his new "King powers" to either stop the transfer of power or force Congress' hand to limit Presidential power. He's the poster child for how NOT to fight fascism.
