They won’t be surprised, they’ll just remain angry because they’ll be given new scapegoats to blame by the propaganda machine.

GOP is the party of rules for thee not for me. The leadership are all disgustingly wealthy so they can easily fly their mistresses to another country for abortions, drug fueled sex parties, etc…

For a rational person, absolutely not. For a sociopathic billionaire, absolutely. Elon probably doesn’t give a fuck about the USA, even if it sank into the ocean tomorrow he would still have enough money for thousands of lifetimes in any of his vacation homes around the world.

It’s a gamble: If he succeeds in swaying the election then he and his new buddy can make those legal troubles disappear! If he fails… well… Failure will be incredibly bad for both of them.

Many of those cases happened outside Russia in countries like Britain and Spain. Musk leaves the US on a regular basis too.

This is conjecture but there’s growing evidence that Trump was sharing US intelligence with Putin and would likely do the same again. If you can’t beat them, join them I guess.

I have a sneaking suspicion that when Elon got involved in the Ukraine war via Starlink, Putin reminded him that he might mysteriously fall off a balcony or catch a sudden case of polonium and Elon has become a lapdog for him ever since.

The online retail store Amazon actually loses money too, the main generator of profit for Amazon is actually AWS. Every other branch of the business is about market control.

“It isn’t transparent,” said a woman named Elizabeth who wouldn’t give her last name.

What are you hiding Elizabeth?!

It also strongly encourages people to return their ballots in person likely because the GOP is already set to challenge mail-in ballots as “rigged”.

That’s why they’re trying to take power. Billionaires would rather destroy the world and drive all life to extinction than to give up their private jets and yachts.

It’s not a “community”, it’s one person making all the posts because I guess they wanted to make hating Linux their entire personality. 🤷

Buying a social media network: $40 billion

Buying a US election: $0.13 billion

Democracy is fucked.

What do you mean, corporations that have a legal obligation to maximize value for shareholders weren’t passing money on to consumers out of the goodness of their hearts? Nobody could have seen that coming! /S

Yup, also American automakers get plenty of subsidies and bailouts from the government too. It was always about not wanting to make electric cars. 🤷

That team writes emulators that run directly on Nintendo consoles, so they would likely test it on development versions of those consoles the same way actual console games are developed and tested. Otherwise they would be testing a Switch version of an SNES emulator running inside a Switch emulator on a Windows PC that would introduce it’s own errors.

I personally don’t think it’s so likely that Nintendo would write and maintain a Windows emulator just for their museum if an open-source project exists that they could legally use for free under that project’s license terms. Only someone with insider knowledge would be able to say for sure though.

Emulator projects should all add a clause in their EULA that specifically forbids Nintendo from using their software, then they can sue Nintendo for breaching their license. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Yeah, Tesla made this claim about the model X being full self driving in 5 years and being able to become an autonomous taxi while you weren’t using it. Still waiting on that one…

It’s to get around the KYC (Know Your Client) requirements that many financial institutions and cryptocurrency exchanges have when creating a new account to curb money laundering. Obviously criminals using crypto for dark markets need a way to convert it back to cash without giving up their real identity.
