There’s that ~30% again that will lie their asses off for their golden calf.

“Underestimated” means they spent any time estimating the outcome at all before trump decided to attack.

I sincerely doubt they did.

IOW, you can only protest on days and at times when most people are at work, therefore less people will protest.

Full “I don’t care” mode. Any pretenses of being president of a nation is gone, he’a treating the country like a throwaway business deal. Use it up, bankrupt it, take what he wants. I’d say hooker, but at least they get paid.

Many places already do charge a “line charge” if you have solar power and use little or no utility company power. You pay for being hooked up to the grid even if you barely use it.

The gas prices I was paying were almost exactly the same as I paid in October 2024. IOW I don’t see him doing any better than Biden.

Could you imagine being “locked in” with locked in syndrome and people around you decide to make you “fall”?

It’s like bitcoin. A shitty idea I wanted no part of yet I wish I’d been willing to take advantage of at the time it took off.

Nope. Raspbian, Arch, Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE (sorta samesies, I guess), Manjaro…I think that’s it.

Small price to pay… besides the US bases being targeted by missiles, the billions in defense hardware being used, refineries in neighboring countries being targeted and hit, the economy under further seige, and we haven’t yet been hit by the price increases due to transportation costs of goods.

Yeah. He left all of that out.

Don’t get too excited about the pot-out-of-draft card. If this regime doesn’t hand you a shitty rifle with a coffee can for a helmet to get rid of their lib opponents by throwing them at the meatgrinder they’ll just send you to a work camp and starve you to death.

“It has been, and it will continue to be, and President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table,” Leavitt said.

Newspeak for “We don’t have a clue what the moron will do next, so ‘The lord moves in mysterious ways…’”

Spoken like the pair of Trucknutz he is.

It isn’t about the files FFS. Nobody is prosecuting him. Nobody. Just another distraction focusing everyone’s attention away from trump doing his best to seize permanent power.

Oh, an they might lift oil sanctions on Russia. Way to go, rewarding the country helping Iran send bombs to US bases.

Plenty of other places to supply Iran with satellite imagery.

Stating the obvious: Preventing US citizens and news agencies from easily accessing timely info that would contradict trump’s lies.

These scum are caricature movie villains. Perfectly happy to sit in safety acting like badasses while dealing out suffering and death for others.

I don’t get the responses disagreeing with you. Citing as-yet undefined needs of an AVERAGE consumer while completely disregarding that the people on Lemmy are far more tech-focused and that the average tech level of a consumer is that they can’t even turn the computer off and on again. Almost nobody needs such massive storage, it’s a very niche need. The vast majority would never run out with 1TB. I’ve got 3TB and a huge collection of music, movies and photos I’ve backed up and there’s still room to go. The clowns disagreeing with you are running an -arr stack and thinking “I could fill that…”

The conservative morals are horrific (as evidenced by their support of a convicted criminal and child rapist among other things), conservatives think godless progressives don’t have any.

They’re all pre-diabetic living on Mt Dew and Burgers. Wearing their MAGA hats talking tough while the kids actually hoping to better themselves with a GI bill get killed.

The best prevention is not letting it happen in the first place.

Ya think?! We’re past that.

Completely unnecessary for you to preemptively assume someone would choose a “crappy” backup from a retail store when in fact such a backup would still likely have saved the day, and any half-decent dev should at least have some kind of RAID backup on site and better yet an offsite one too.

The flaw was not having any backup, not your straw man of a poor quality choice.
