Money buys power.

I predict the WaPo will turn into the upcoming American Reich’s Pravda: the truth and nothing but the truth that the Trumpistas want you to see.

I’m pretty sure you are right. It will get worse gradually. Other papers will not dare to criticize the government out of fear to get harassed or shut down. I’m also pretty sure that all the enemies of Trump will be accused of one thing or another. And with AI it’s easy to create nice pics for the front page. “Nancy Pelosi eats babies” or something slightly less ridiculous.

“Apparent”. I would not know what else this means? “Give you my heart” with the palm downwards? This isn’t an accident and has nothing to do with any “autism”. This is the green light for groups like the Proud boys. It’s the modern Sturmabteilung, meant to protect gatherings and disrupt any protests and intimidate opposition.

“for providing so-called “harmful” materials to minors.”

I wonder who decides what is harmful and what not?

I really doubt it’s for the “protection of children”.

Brave and correct thing to do. Amazing situation for such an iconic news paper. Down the drain it went. I hope true journalists like you will band together and keep informing the public of what’s going on. I do realize that the situation you will have to work in will be harsh from now on.

Zuckerberg jumped on the Trump train. I think this anti LGBTQ stance is based on the MAGA opinions that were needed to raise votes.

You can see this movement spreading rapidly, like a cancer. People who don’t really agree, just go with the flow, for money or out of fear.

I also liked very much what was going on in the beginning, same as you. I don’t want to Tesla shame anybody, sorry about that.

I prefer connectors to be uniform, so that’s the good thing. I just feel the USB C is a bit fragile and not suited for all situations.

I loved Pascal back then, only worked with Arduino “C” more recently. Still think Pascal was a great language. Basic was my first one obviously. The manual that came with a cheap Mattel Aquarius was fantastic. It worked with examples and also similar functions as they one they described. The very first computer I touched was a Exidy Sourcerer. Had to share that with my classmates. I tried to create games as well, but never really finished anything outside a few very simple games.

Conservatism has been forcefully on the rise, but something like porn can cause it’s downfall. It reminds me of the videotape format wars end 70s, early 80s, with VHS pushing out Betamax due to porn.

I don’t trust Elon, so I don’t trust Tesla. If I would get one for free, I would immediately sell it. I’m not against electric cars in general by the way.
