You better vote for him in the next rounds too, or it's going to be see saw.

With this much complexity, why not just use TLS client certificates without PKI and managed by a password manager?

Your second point is especially interesting, considering the recent xz backdoor. The bad actors manipulated a poor burnt out maintainer for it. In comparison, I'm impressed with gorhill for his perseverance and mental strength. I would like to know how he avoids burn out with such negative influences.

Yes, it's from memory. But don't congratulate me yet. My guess is that it is just one third of Musk's most egregious lies.

Easy. He classifies his lies by his company:

  • Tesla: FSD, Cybertruck, Semi, Optimus and the spandex dancing man, solar shingles, solar farm, thermonuclear explosion proof glass, bullet proof chassis, battery-swap, range under full charge, share value, etc
  • Boring Company: Hyperloop, Not a flamethrower, Vegas loop, pods, tunnel bricks, etc
  • SpaceX: Martian colony, surface to surface starship, in-orbit refueling (to get to moon), in-situ methane production on Mars, etc
  • Neuralink: Telepathy, Brain backup
  • Twitter: Free speech
  • Musk himself: His net worth, The man who knows more about manufacturing than anyone else alive

Though you may be right, I have a feeling that he is facing formidable opposition. That may include anything from social engineering to full on psyops.

Can you imagine the amount of corruptive influences and persuasions he is resisting?

They're neither crisis managers, nor counsels. The correct term is astroturfers. They all have some vested interests in doing so.

Of course they're learning. Learning how to bullshit and gaslight normal people into accepting their dystopian and draconian ambitions.

Is there a background story to this image?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Sure they do. I'm just saying that laser printers are the lesser evil.

I'm not at all asking for a government monopoly on making printers, if that wasn't clear.
