Beltway journalism trades in a currency known as “access”

McDaniels made a case to nbc that if she’s hired and Trump gets elected, he and his cronies will trust NBC more with people like her there.

NBC is shameless garbage that will happily help spread tyranny if they think they can profit

@DragonTypeWyvern

McDaniels wasn’t hired to head anything at nbc.

Facebook paid kids $20 a month to run this app: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/1/30/18203803/facebook-research-vpn-minors-data-access-apple

These kids most likely didn’t see it as a VPN at all

@nifty I have nothing against Ruby and think it’s a nice flexible language. At the peak of RoR though, all the asshats were all over Ruby.

My problem with Ruby wasn’t even RoR, it was with the way the asshats valued ~~creativity~~ “cleverness” which seemed to mean writing code in the most cryptic ways possible. These folks took what should be an expressive language and wrote scripts that rivaled Perl’s worst “read once and never again” scripts.

Mystique, who for years was assumed to have been Nightcrawler’s mother, but was recently revealed to have been his father (X-Men Blue: Origins #1)

This is literally what South Park revealed in season two about Cartman’s father. The person we know as Eric’s mother was actually his father.

This is the game I play on my Steamdeck the most. Great for five minutes or 45. I’m at ascension 14 or so.

I’m not a Biden fan but I am a realist. If I’ve got to deal with the hand I’m given, I’m going with Biden.

Now how about the media stop hiding how frail Trump is? Can we see him walk up a slight incline without handholds?

Can we see him keep up with other world leaders during a stroll without a gold cart?

Is that not what Matrix is? I haven’t been to really understand Matrix so maybe I’m wrong.

@person

Jadzia Dax’s death had the total lack of dignity that I associate with Rick Berman. She didn’t just die suddenly and rather pointlessly. She twitched for a bit while the camera lingered. I really can’t stand this man.

  1. There will be scores of people looking for evidence this new device is doing something Apple has not disclosed. This is how security researchers make a name for themselves.

  2. The engineers on the team building this product will not want to be associated with building something nefarious. These engineers are just regular people. You can find them online and speak with them. They look for jobs at other firms just like we all do. Unless they are being paid so well that they won’t ever have to work again, they can’t ruin their reputations.

  3. If you really believe what this post is purporting, I’ll remind you that you are most likely carrying a device with you every day that has a microphone and internet access. If you aren’t, you are still surrounded by people who are.

The claims this post is making will simply make people tune out or ignore real security concerns.

It’s can be “it has”. “Its” is possessive.
