*By El Salvador and put into an El Salvador prison, for trying to visit a political prisoner.

Many have been arrested in the US and abroad over the years for various reasons.

It's meant to deter the "only following orders" Nazi defense.

In theory there should be checks and balances which prevent anything absurdly fascist, it's expected that it would be halted before it happens, but I suspect those who wrote this into the Constitution didn't count on the level of fascism we're seeing now.

We'll see how it works out.

Yah, Japan should be pushing to control the specifics of how a company based in another country. That's the right move. This guy is big brain. Clearly.

So, your argument is Japan should be pushing to control the specifics of how app stores work against a company based in another country, because pushing specifics of how to control kernels on the same devices which actually enforces the closed ecosystems on a company based in another country isn't the right move. Got it.

Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

Yeah, he thinks he's the master artist of the deal, nobody has ever made deals like him. Huge strong men have come up to him, tears in their eyes, saying "Sir! We've never seen a deal made like you made, ever!"

Or some shit.

Ok, the private comments arguing that 24k votes don't matter that's eeeeuge!

California district 3 has ~780,000 people in it. There are more uninsured people in that district than the loss margin.

The 2.5% of the population which is too young to vote and 4-6% which are ineligible for other reasons still leaves more than enough to have changed that election.

Repeat that across 30-60 other districts across the US and now you have enough to impeach the Cheeto flavored fuckwad.

But apathy and laziness is just too fucking easy.

It's just wild to me continually seeing posts not understanding how this all works, and how it would play out. It's like the people who thought China paid the tariffs...

The Constitution doesn't provide a mechanism to recall the President, VP, a Senator or a Representative. Why do people think it's easy to undo fuckwadary?

You can impeach him, but that would take the House and Senate to actually hold him accountable. The House needs to vote to do it.

The house is almost tied. That's who passes bills, handles impeachments, some of the most powerful committees are.

218 Republicans, 213 Democrats.

Let's see, take New York for example.

26 representatives total, 19 Democrat and 7 Republican.

5 of those were within 2 points last time their seat was up.

People who think that New York is blue, their vote doesn't matter, skips the votes for the House and Senate and end up losing a Blue house seat but later complain that nothing changes are literally the fucking problem.

Every. Fucking. State. Is. Like. This.

Apathetic morons who don't realize that the president is only held accountable by the other branch of government then wave their hands around when they did jack shit to help put people in place to, are the fucking problem.

District 3 of California was lost by 24,000 votes. District 22 was lost by 3,000.

Those two seats in the house, along with the close ones in New York, Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, hell every state... Are what makes the House of Representatives or breaks it.

So, if you think that your vote for president doesn't matter, so you skip voting and let these other seats slip, yes, you're a fucking moron who can't grasp basic concepts of government that are taught in 4th grade.

And don't get me started on the State House/Senates, how they define voting laws and voting zones and engage in gerrymandering.

Every fucking vote counts.

And until the country realizes it, and starts acting on it, we'll keep getting the shit we deserve.

Ah yes, because unless you're on a government payroll, you're clearly unqualified to point out superficial policymaking. Must be nice to believe that calling out performative regulation is the same as claiming omniscience.

GrapheneOS does primarily run on Pixel phones—because those are the only phones where the hardware allows verifiable, secure boot processes and full control over firmware. Samsung and most others lock down key components and make it impossible to truly sandbox or audit the system at the level GrapheneOS demands. That’s not a limitation of the OS—that’s a limitation of the closed, proprietary design of most Android OEMs.

Which, funnily enough, is exactly the problem.

The Japanese ruling is essentially: “Hey, stop forcing your apps, but keep the same Google-dependent infrastructure, monetization model, and walled-garden app stores.” It's like demanding Coke remove the label from the bottle but still sell it in the same vending machines—still Coke, still their turf.

If they actually wanted to disrupt the monopoly, they’d be mandating real platform openness—allowing non-Google OS installs, pushing for hardware-level access standards, and ensuring devices don’t lock out third-party operating systems or app ecosystems.

But yeah, let’s all clap for another fine and pretend something changed.

Days. The on-off-on electronic/cell phone tariffs are an example

Yeah, I wish I could see Steve's reaction as he learned it

Steps? The Cheeto flavored fuckwad is riding a cybertruck full bore forward.

And so we won't fix the real problem and just react.

It works on some Samsung devices. The entire reason it doesn't work on more devices is because the manufacturers don't release the kernel source. Or did you miss that in the docs?

Better question is, why would the courts not order the kernels to be open for open firmwares?

"Let's order a for-profit company to eliminate their profit method, and ignore the actual problem" is a specialty of ignorant courts... And commenters.

So the courts, instead of addressing the real problem of phone makers only making hardware that for-profit partners can write software for, they just order the for-profit software makers to... remove the profit?

The fuck kind of ass-backwards thinking is that?

Not going to do much. If they actually wanted changes and not fines, they'd do something truly novel like order the manufactures to use GrapheneOS or some other actual open source OS that doesn't depend on financing provided by the app stores and ads.

Otherwise, you're just making a show for the sake of showmanship, empty gestures.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can’t be deported just because you’re a citizen. Deport first.

Fixed it for you.

Oh, yeah...

These smooth-brained motherfuckers are so predictable I can do this all day.

Don't forget, the most Anti-gay group out there, is called "The Proud Boys"

They couldn't care less

Fixed it for you.

The really funny thing is they have the tech built in that will auto dim the lights when facing another car, a bicycle or person on the street.

It's just enabled in the EU where matrix dynamic adaptive headlights are allowed.

The US has had a law to allow them for 3ish years, but the NTSB is dragging its feet.

The real kicker is the companies that have the tech built in, namely Audi, BMW, Porsche don't have plans to enable it with a firmware change, it'll be available once the cars are approved on future models.

There is a bit different from the Tesla Model Y adaptive headlights which are only applied to the high beams.

A fair number of models have low and high matrix beams, and it's pretty spectacular seeing it in action. It can dim the light against people's heads, cuts off clean lines at opposing vehicle headlights so your bright light never hits their windshield, and dim against street signs so they don't reflect blinding lights back at you.

Check out some videos of the Audi Matrix HD lights. Try to rent one if you're in Germany next. It's really something else.

So much better than the kneecapped shit we get state side.

I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

While yes, I think it's really easy to do make a strong argument he's Biff with unwarranted McFly reactions.
