On the bright side, it’s never been a better time to switch to an immutable distro…

Imagine being the type of person who has conversations with Elon Musk’s computer and trying to roast anybody. Wild.

We take the Pacific and Atlantic coasts first, blockade the gulf and then move inwards with our allies from all sides.

You’re forgetting that there are plenty of people, bases and equipment in blue territory. The neo-confederates will have no access to trade as they will very quickly be cut off from both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, and you’ve already blown any chance at a alliance with neighboring countries. These dumb fuck Republicans in flyover country have already painted themselves into a corner and they don’t even know it.

Come what may. We will fight, and we have all the infrastructure, money and equipment to win against y’all fat ass redneck farm boys. We beat those dumb fucks once and we will beat them again. Make no mistake.

Need I remind you how the last civil war went?

The west and the north east will be ready to fight, and we have plenty of military bases, equipment, infrastructure, logistics, money and people to fight with. The neo-confederate rednecks will be cut off from trade in every direction, as we quickly take both coasts and form alliances with allied countries (not just Canada and Mexico, but also Europe, Japan, and South Korea, who will need to continue trading with coastal American states).

All the 400 lb good ol’ boy mall ninja rednecks in the world are not going to be able to face the reality of what will come to them if they fuck with the west coast. People in Buttfuck, Oklahoma will be eating dust off the ground in the dark by the time we are done with them. And this time there will be no forgiveness or reconstruction.

it wont

None of this is good, and it’s going to cause a lot of big problems across just about everything but, theoretically at least, none of it is unsalvageable.

Remember that elections are run by the states, not the federal government.

So unless you live in one of the most hardcore Trump-sucking red states, you likely will be able to vote in 2026 and 2028, your vote will probably be fairly counted, and you will be able to determine not just the makeup of Congress 2 years from now, but also the types of people that we send to represent our interests and fight back against Trump.

Of course, Trump is wasting no time grabbing power, but it still remains to be seen whether or not Congress and the Supreme Court will surrender their power enough for him to get away with it. As much as the massive cucked-out bitches in Congress and SCOTUS pretend they love Trump, they actually hate his guts and are just as hungry for their own power as he is for his.

Finally there is the possibility of a genuine constitutional crisis in which Trump rejects the concept of shared power by coequal branches of government, in which case the entire constitution is rendered null and void and the USA completely ceases to exist as a federal entity and the union breaks down.

This would probably lead to a civil war, in which case the side that wins is the one that has the best logistics and strategy. I’m confident that the blue states, especially in an alliance with Canada and Mexico, would have no problem beating the land-locked redneck morons in flyover country. All that would be required is to bring the fight to the Southern coastal areas. They’d be totally surrounded and blocked in from trade on every side.

Shit I coulda told ya that, man.

Having the AG there is the only paper-thin facade stopping it from obviously looking like absolute dictatorial authority. By having another name on the page it gives them the ability to say “it’s not just Trump who decides the law, the AG weighs in too”. Ignoring the fact that the AG is up his ass and serves Trump’s every whim.

This is the straw that broke the back of American law and justice. Unless the SCOTUS slaps this EO down with the strongest of force as soon as possible, the American experiment is over.

Hey man, rule #1, no stupid questions.

It’s right in the name.

Good that they changed the name.

He’s a changeling.

Look at the date, lmao.

You sound like the type of guy who drives a cybertruck and practices Elons “odd hand gesture” in your bedroom at night.

They fear open source software because it is one of the only thing that threatens their technofascist hegemony.

This only further proves that we are investing in platforms that are chipping away at them.

That’s really too bad… They are a super talented developer and they were doing something really cool, and making great progress too.

But if they were doing Asahi Linux for fun as a hobby, and if it isn’t fun anymore for a variety of reasons, then you really can’t blame them.

I’m not sure if there is a “right” or “wrong” here, as this is just one person’s side of the story that acknowledges, but mostly glosses over, the possibility that they made mistakes or behaved badly at times too.

But I can absolutely understand the basic concept of burning out because you don’t think your hard work is being appreciated, because people are making hard things even harder for you, or because users on the internet let their excitement about a thing push them too far into being entitled.

Hopefully Marcan can find some time to relax and do fun and rewarding things with their time.

Shocked pikachu face

It absolutely does… Can you elaborate on a situation in which FOSS gets enshittified?

i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit

Well, to be 100% fair, it’s all total bullshit.
