But the underlying Pentagon leadership hasn’t significantly changed between Biden and Trump (or Bush and Trump, for that matter).

That's not strictly true. Trump purged a lot of leadership that was loyal to the Constitution rather than personally to him.

But your overall point about the war-hawkishness remains valid.

It's pride month. They can have a little extra entendre, as a treat.

I want the executive branch -- the California state executive branch -- to execute the laws of the state and protect its citizens from tyrannical thuggery.

They still need a motherfucking warrant or probable cause!!!

What possible probable cause could they have against a political candidate who's not crossing a border? Fuck-all, that's what!

He's pushing the Big Lie.

Korg doesn't make theremins; Moog does. QED.

One night when we were driving home from a trip to South Carolina, my wife and I got pulled over for "having one taillight brighter than the other." Absolutely pretextual bullshit.

Sell or get subpoena'd; tomayto, tomahto.

I mean non-Free Software.

When trying to explain that concept, I like showing people this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc4ROCJYbm0&t=296

The one thing I'd add is to say don't run a shell script from the Internet unless you're damn sure that (a) you trust the entity providing it, and (b) you're downloading via https and haven't typo'd the URL.

He had added a Jellyfin repo to his apt sources.list file for some reason, which is weird and likely not the right way to do it these days. But it might have been in the past, so it could be OP was following some obsolete procedure (or one AI-hallucinated from an obsolete procedure).

After realizing that OP was completely going about it the wrong way, the guy you replied to just looked up the correct way and relayed that to him.

They start out aligned, but then one person's ideology changes over time (perhaps even after marriage).

This is supposed to be the default!

We, The People.

They'll call it a new world order without even a hint of irony.

Stop being fair; fascists don't deserve it. Their entire ideology is being unfair to you.

They know it isn't an emergency, they know they're lying, and they're doing it on purpose in order to seize power unjustly. Their disinformation must be opposed at every turn and they must be given no quarter.

Labeling it as "SECURE" (implying the other option is insecure) is enough to make it seem underhanded to me.

In other words, it's a dark pattern that tricks users into letting Plex MITM their connection.
