I'm still of the belief that all of this is about the destruction of the US economy for Russia. He's a kremlin asset and has been for 40+ years.

He and the billionaires (because he isn't one) will make millions from short term panic in the market, just as they have already, and vacuum up everything they can to control it all directly and openly just like the Russian oligarchs did post-Soviet control.

This will make the US weaker both internally and internationally, where Russia can try and step in to some of the power vacuum that departure leaves behind. China as well as a side effect, as long as they can deal with the bullshit trade war in the beginning, which they can without issue honestly.

Agreed, but to be fair, looks like it started in 2023 in Mexico with a Cartel attack. Even with the bullshit, it's still probably the better option unfortunately.

Note that this is someone being returned from Mexico, not El Salvador.

For all we really know the agreement with El Salvador is a guaranteed one way deal that we pay them to handle and they're refusing to play ball beyond that. Maybe they're wanting more money to send people back and that's why the Admin isn't complying with the courts.

They're not being held against the US government's will, we're paying these countries to house these people. We could just request them back at any time. No military needed. These people are there because we purposely sent them there to forget about them.

This is my uncle unironically. Completely obvious to the stupidity.

You realize that with a federated system they're not just handling their own users right? They could defederate from the servers that host users causing issues, but that also means all of their users cannot interact with all those communities, without a choice. Lemmy currently only provides a sledgehammer when they really just need more fine tools.

It's not just federated networks. It is anything with user interaction. Managing and moderating any sort of sizeable social media site is a lot harder than people think.

Fascinating how quickly you can forget the actual abuse when thinking about an abusive ex.

Losing 1/3 of your bombers in one attack means you're going to be a lot more careful with the remaining ones though. They lost a significant chunk of their reactionary forces in one go.

Russia has already been fighting a lot longer than they planned and have taken much heavier losses. The only reason they're still going at all is Putin's ego and inability to admit any mistakes.

For random password dumps going through thousands of accounts it's probably fine, but if you're targeted for some reason and they get just a couple passwords. With even just 2 passwords, that system may be obvious already to someone looking to gain access to your accounts specifically.

On the one hand yeah that entirely possible. On the other hand, Trump clearly suffers from dementia, and he just may not know what the fuck is going on at any given moment and tries to go with it, failing constantly and his staff is failingly trying to cover it all up every time.

The cat got up there, the cat can get down.

Often this is because of those little shit pin connectors for the power button getting pulled loose. How has a better, standardized option not been made for those yet?

Entirely likely they figured a cable with Type A on both ends would be a cheap "proprietary" cable.

I'm not sure. The admin has been threatening the justices lately, albeit indirectly. They might use this to make a point.

Crazy, thought for sure it would fail testing.

Still wouldn't trust it personally after a failed stick from a matched pair regardless of what the test says though.

Middle manglement is the source of nearly all bad decisions once companies get large enough to have it. Upper management is often dog shit, but they usually have an idea of what they want done. Whether that's. Net positive for consumers is a different story, but they don't intend for it to be implemented poorly.

Middle manglement then takes that, fucks it up putting each of their little stamps on it as it hits every rung on the ladder as it works it's way down to the people that have to implement it.

bullshit national emergency

You mean the President's feelings being hurt because no one cares about him and they're starting to tell him that to his face instead of being polite? And starting to actively ignore everything he says and purposely doing the exact opposite of what he wants?

Cool, so implement them legally, through Congress. Where they have input from actual economic experts that at least have a minimum understanding of the economy. Not just because someone hurt Trump's feefees and he reacts like the petulant child he is.

All the current tariffs will do is kill the actual US-based businesses they're supposedly supposed to help. Because foreign businesses can just stop selling in the US market and focus elsewhere, the US businesses don't have that option and instead just have to pay upwards of 140% MORE, in many cases more spent on tariffs than their entire product would sell for. Sudden changes like that just kill businesses.

US consumers don't have an extra 150% increase in their paychecks to go along with the price increases from the tariffs. I'd love to more than double my current pay. If that happened, I'd happily pay the increased tariff pricing.
