bloody murder about our lack of military readiness.
I mean this isn't hurting our military readiness nearly as much as everyone seems to think. They should focus on how he is using this to try to harm individual soldiers access to healthcare.
If I were Biden, I'd draft an executive order, go on national TV, and explain the reason why I have to use emergency authorization to use an EO to make sure our military has the leaders it needs to be ready.
I mean I hate Tubby as much as anyone and he is a piece of shit but that step is not necessary at all. Our military has the military leaders it needs and they're doing those jobs, they just don't have the requisite rank. It happens more often than you'd think.
Edit: If anyone disagrees with what I've said I'd love to discuss it with them.
It's insane that one Senator has that much power and Tuberville is a unqualified, moron but ultimately I don't see this being a huge issue for the military. They will simply have those people fill those slots without the requisite rank or have another GO cover down and do that job. A good chuck are probably positions created solely so they can have a place to put those GOs anyway.
There are Linux distros like Tails which will be very hard to use day to day, but if you are laser focused on privacy, it's between that and CubesOS (not Linux).
QubesOS. Also TailsOS isn't too bad if you do persistent memory and don't mind slow internet traffic over Tor. I find it plenty usable for simple browsing and downloadikg small files.
forcing messaging services to integrate backdoors, thereby undermining end-to-end encryption._
Wouldn't this only apply to messaging apps that do the encryption for you? I'm curious how this could be applied to something like PGP/GPG or SHA256.
Errr... then they can go to another instance that fits them better?
Then why didn't you say that. You just keep commenting to join lemmy.ml.
You should find one that suits you better. I think lemmy.ml blocked facebook 'pre-emptively'. You may have a better time there.
Stop telling everyone to go to fuckng lemmy.ml. You have to apply for registration there and the Lemmy devs are already busy enough.
And that's fine, the Fediverse gives you tools to not have to deal with that through silencing or defederation.
But for many people on the Fediverse, they're here specifically for other things, and being able to interact with the corporate social web from outside of it is ideal for them.
But that's seems to go directly against what the Fediverse was built for. They say that "The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks." Threads seems to be the antithesis of that. If people do want that, they can find a different platform or create their own. Not coop the Fediverse.
What? Meta won't control moderation on Mastodon.social just because they can communicate with each other. I want to be able to call politicians twats and "cunts" without fearing a banhammer. That's what it boils down to really.
Then they will either threaten to defederate with that instance unless they impose the same rules they have or tell that instances moderates to punish you. Once the instances become intertwined enough, their rules become ours rules or they'll threaten to defederate essentially kill that smaller instance.
There simply isn't a world where Meta allows Threads users to see content that they don't want them to see on their platform. I'm sure part of the reason they haven't federated yet is so they can figure out a way to hide shit from other instance on their own instance.
