I know what you meant, just saying that part of his income from this is an indirect result of his shows. That’s why I wished it didn’t go there - it works like royalties, but isn’t, it’s a dishonest income stream because of (lack of) taxation and how it’s reported and shit. (edit: that’s ON TOP of his actual royalties, I’m sure he negotiated those too). Not to mention other members of this scheme.

I would be surprised if people in the States even knew the name of his bloc, or any other bloc for that matter. And why would they, it’s not really their forte.

You mean he didn’t pardon Kodak Black out of his love for Florida’s culture???

On one hand - show business is yucky and I wish all that money didn’t just disappear into tax heavens. On the other hand - artists deserve their royalties, even if they’re in government positions. I guess I don’t agree with the means, but agree (to a tiny extent) with the ends.

Btw the security service changed heads since then, idk how much better the new one is, but he’s infinitely funnier.

Also the next step in accountability would be crowdfunded public servants lol, still a popularity contest but if you’re really unpopular - you don’t get shit. I wanna see someone try it in my lifetime.

Calamari Racing Team. It’s mostly a counter-movement to r/Motorcycles, where most of the posters are seen as anti-fun. Their whole thing is that, not just a specific way to ride, they also have a legendary commenter that pays money for pics in full leather.

Yeah, everybody knows google is evil by now. My last sentence is a bit redundant but whatever.

“Military intelligence” my ass, it’s a meaningless term. You’re using military intelligence-derived tech every day.

From what I’ve read Wiz work in commercial cloud security, but I’m sure Google wouldn’t mind a slice of the defence budget. Don’t know whose though. Not to mention, they have a shitload of their own services that could benefit from having them in-house.

Yeah, the original video of the hit is too low res, I guess they just assumed the models. But now we know both this 28 and 8’s registration numbers

What are they gonna do, send a strongly worded letter to their lemmy instance?

is dual booting not an option for you?

You could even squeeze a quadruple A game on there

From what I understand their minimum wages aren’t bad, it’s the enforcement that sucks. Everyone buys from them because labor laws are overlooked, but if they weren’t - there’s a risk manufacturing would move away and shrink. Bit of an ouroboros. I’d say both parties are to blame, but the paying one gets more of it.

Secret Service personnel on the ground moved quickly during the incident, with our counter sniper team neutralizing the shooter and our agents implementing protective measures to ensure the safety of former president Donald Trump.

The secret service didn’t know (or didn’t care) there was a shooter until after the guy clipped the ear. They failed at the prevention part of their job.

edit: all I’m saying is if they failed once, they could fail again. That’s it. I myself have no intentions of ever setting foot in the states.

probably a holdover from the sata days, or simply because it’s nice to show the number doubling into tens of thousands

why not? plenty of them run android, do they maintain a blacklist of sorts?

Good to know, that’s what I use on my 10. Didn’t know if 11 has it since it never really appealed to me.

Do they still make enterprise/ltsc/iot versions for 11? Because those are usually the ones that don’t treat you like a child, and I expect them to retain that

6 Good dice roll

It’s not a war you see, it’s a special… military operation? Wait, I think that’s copyrighted, shit

I think plenty of them recognize it, they just can’t organize by themselves. The seeds of distrust have been planted long ago, now they’re starting to give fruit.
