@CStamp They always have been especially when the going gets tough...

@mayintoronto BTW, @atomicpoet has some great commentary about that game.

Wow is spot on.

@lauren @ai6yr Yep, this will fail, they'll throw their hands up, and say out loud:

"We tried."

While selling a ton of people out in the process.

@tek That's awful to hear this, my thoughts are with you and your family. :(

@adamghill Love that care detail and it's so fitting.

She did a great job!

It looks like as I predicted, Dems (mostly Moderate and Conservative) are going to snatch defeat when victory is within reach.

Like they always done for years.

So all that momentum for nothing.

Remember that for 2026 as election turnout is going to decline even further.

@Eliot_L @internetarchive @arstechnica Very good read. Sadly, it doesn't look good by reading it as the floodgates are now open to even more lawsuits.

I wish them well although I'm a donor, I can't see them exist in the future especially if/when the video game and news media industries come after them.

Those are the big ones to look for.

@keepassxc The ultimate heel turn then, betrayal of your users and a lot of goodwill in the process.

You're a piece of shit.

@starsider @EvieBee Any type of law enforcement (ICE, NYPD for example) can get access to them and they're not fully encrypted by default.

All they need is a simple request, no warrant required.

Aaron Swartz should still be here today fighting the good fight.

The fact that he's not is a travesty and the people involved in his death should rot in hell.

Remember, the last time the US had any sorts of a #privacy law was in 1988 to protect VCR players.

Nada since.

The clock is now ticking to the inevitable end of archive.is and associates then. :(

Another example of the US going after their "enemies".

I'm sure folks like Matt Stoller (what happened to that guy) regrets on what he said about the administration being tough on #antitrust because it's really the complete opposite.

Wow! Zohran's transition team includes Lina Khan (!) as a big "fuck you" to billionaires.

https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/05/lina-khan-to-co-chair-nyc-mayor-elect-zohran-mamdanis-transition-team/

Keep in mind that she tried to do the bare minimum on antitrust reform during her time as FTC Chairwoman but that same billionaire class threw a fit and they decided it's best for the US to be led under a dictatorship.

Oh by the way, happy retirement, Andy as we hope that's the last we seen of you in public life.

How sweet it is!

I do hope Dems take note on this historic day on how to actually win elections like Zohran just showed the country.

@obrien_kat Hope it's a positive outcome and you'll be okay!

All I can say is this:

I hope Dick Cheney rots in hell.
