That's what the Articles of Confederation were, and they were a disaster that only managed to keep the union alive for 8 years because people could hold their nose until the Constitution was ratified.

Firefox gets like 90% of its funding from Google for making Google the default search.

Stopped working in 2023.

Gimp is a bit of a stretch.

I've used it a lot, but unlike most of the others on this list, the commercial product (Photoshop) is so much better that I'm willing to shell out the monthly fee to use it over Gimp.

They've been saying for years that Trump won in 2020.

That's why buying drugs across the border is specifically illegal. Can't have us buying our medicine at a fair value.

That would also be an amendment to the Constitution.

The last amendment that passed took over 200 years to get through the process.

Are we foementing revolution or creating a new compression algorithm?

Have you ever worked in a professional environment?

Random people have absolutely no right to see the details of that report.

Shit - I work in the public sector where people can demand to see the co tents of my phone, but there are classes of information we do not share. Specifically, we don't share details regarding active litigation, property negotiation, or personnel matters.

You literally can't make white LEDs without them. That includes all flat-screen display technology. After the development of blue and green LEDs, decades and untold money were spent trying to develop blue LEDs.

The device you're reading this message on is only possible because of Blue LEDs.

Your issue isn't with the blue LEDs - it's with the atmosphere, which absorbs red and green light more quickly than blue. It's why the sky appears blue. it's also why white LEDs bulbs will often have a yellow filter on them to absorb some of the blue light. Because pure white appears blue-ish in hue.

Blue LEDs were a technological breakthrough that took decades of work to create and enabled pretty much all modern tech.

Time for everyone to start burner Open Street Maps accounts!

Guns can have multiple uses.

The American Revolutionary War literally started over the attempted seizure of guns by a government that feared its subjects could use them in an uprising.

Assassination. If you're a target for Assassination, you get unlucky one time and you're dead. If you're an insurgency, you get to try as many times as it takes.

Did you see the whole thing, where he turned around and did it again to the crowd behind him to really emphasize what he was doing?

Any company advertising on X, buying Teslas, using SpaceX, etc is okay with working with Nazis.

That needs to be the message here. Make it clear to all his business associates that we will not forget how they react.

Guillotines are another option.

She's gonna have some Hillary-like issues, in that the GOP has spent a decade demonizing her already.

Obama hit them hard because they didn't see him coming. He went from a relative unknown (on the national stage) to the Presidency in about 12 seconds, and they had been prepping for a fight against Hillary even then.

Steam games are also 100% a license, and Steam has both removed the ability to download previously-purchased games and removed games from people's libraries in the past.

And my main route to Steam AND Gamepass is my ROG Ally, since it's basically a Deck that runs Windows, so it has greater game and marketplace compatibility.
