   The flagrant lawbreaking by Trump, Musk et al is not, as Big Journalism says in its standard timid way, merely a push to expand presidential power.

   It is testing whether there are ANY limits to presidential power whatsoever. It is testing whether Trump is king.

   Why can't journalists get this?

   In time—with widespread availability of printing technology—a fourth estate would emerge: the press. Having never been subsumed into form of government itself, the press would demonstrate the role of institutional power to check the power of other estates; thereby sovereign power.

   It's not about the constitution of a legislative body or of courts (which also seated lords), but the cohesive power of each estate to influence and interfere with the interests of the others, thereby society itself.

   @timnitGebru It's so true. Thanks for speaking truth to power.

   It's amazing that people who don't know math simply have billions to waste. Seems a bit irresponsible for a society to allow that, especially since there are so many important problems out there.

   This 22-minute short film was made by the US Army just after the Second World War, warning about the tactics that Nazis use to gain power.

   It's baffling how many parallels there are with current political developments. I think this video should be shown in every school around the world.

   "Trump aims to preside over an increasingly reactionary and expansionist nation where tech titans like Zuckerberg, Bezos and a thousand faceless oil &gas execs plunder our planet & dismantle any fact-based reality in pursuit of personal wealth & power.

   It IS about the lithium & natural gas deposits under the Arctic Circle, A.I. and making sure Hollywood knows its place if they want a streaming deal on Amazon."

   @TheCreativeNothing Probably the Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro, to replace the 9020 SFF. It's about the same performance CPU-wise but has better graphics performance, can still do 32GB RAM, has nvme ssd slot and sata slot... but it's much smaller and consumes less power.

   It was added recently, to Libreboot. The upcoming release basically makes that mainboard completely perfect, versus Libreboot 20241008.

   Full code execution possible on MEv11 (3050 is 7th gen), so libre ME is feasible in the future.
