  1. And yet totally unsurprising and on brand
  2. Well, unless of course they can lambaste Hillary Clinton with them bc she had a private email server that didn't leak. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/24/trump-advisers-war-plans-democrats-classified-information-00246432 Another element of this story which stands out to me is: 1. The Signal app auto deletes conversations within a few days or weeks based on OP settings. This is often one of the main reasons for using it 2. Communications of all administration officials are required to be archived as required by multiple federal laws 3. Both 1 & 2 cannot both occur
  3. Exactly. It was encrypted, but that's about all. Signal is a public company operating on cloud based servers and the principals on this chain were all on personal cell phones via public networks. The number of entry points and security gaps across that chain makes the encryption itself nearly meaningless in this context (made even worse per Toucana's post above suggesting this chain was flowing openly also over Russian networks which are all monitored by Kremlin and related actors).

    It’s a shame the OP has turned this into yet another thread about Trump, but this last part here is very much in question right now. SCOTUS has ruled POTUS has nearly unlimited authority, and while that’s contrary to historical norms it’s not necessarily untrue. And even if they hadn’t ruled in that manner, it is the executive branch which would be needed to enforce any rulings from the Court and that enforcement too is squarely under POTUS authority.
  5. They do have tools for this and special computers called high sides, but these DUI hires simply chose not to use them. https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD1005160.pdf

  7. Which planet were you on 5 years ago when all that went down, and do you have an extra ticket so I may visit there myself? Maybe he meant that lots of people thought it would be bad for us to try working against it. Lol “there was universal agreement that it was a bad thing to work against”

    They do have that right and also that’s not what they did, so here in this tiny shirt set of words you exercises your right to be wrong twice! Well done! Give that man two medals. One for making a ridiculous post yet again, and another for when he loses the first one
  9. What makes you think you mind is any different and that you have control over that?
  10. Would one expect to find lots of content in google scholar citing who built the first rubidium clock? These tools should be better at explaining how such a clock functions and/or how it's evolved over time
  11. OpenAIs Deep Research comes to mind, as does Consensus. Perplexity has one, too. https://openai.com/index/introducing-deep-research/ https://consensus.app/ https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research
  12. From the fact that calling it the F-Trump would’ve pleased the wrong audiences. 🥸
  13. While all newscasting is done by humans and all humans have biases, some sources are particularly good at avoiding spin and focusing instead on providing objective information not on tribal preconception reinforcement and narrative creation (PBS Newshour, as one example), but watching it often feels like eating broccoli so few put forth the effort and prefer the simple “ooh that makes me feel good” stuff. I also advocate for triangulating data across multiple mostly trustworthy sources (such as national defense or global economy focused sources) and forming your own views based on how they overlap and differ with one another, much like you said: On another note… dear leader will now get a new plane from Boeing in the F-47. Trump is an infant with daddy issues.
  14. Cop out evasion Sounds more like bong philosophy than useful insight tbh
  15. But from whence then does the singularity come? And don’t say from the universes urethra. That would be singularly childish.
  16. Not just inaccurate, but childish
  17. US leadership is apparently planning to amend this particular constitutional amendment, even if only in action and deed.
  18. And yet those things continue existing even when your mind is gone The map is not the territory
  19. Yet those with the authority to do so have a vested interest in not doing so.
  20. Smaller groups means smaller funding and smaller numbers in favor when voting. The reason we tend to split into blocs is bc that's what has been required to actually get things passed and factions tend to be tiny for most issues. Not the best comparison, but perhaps helpful to think in terms of political gravity. Smaller asteroids aren't as effective at gathering more mass as larger asteroids. Jupiter has a larger influence on the solar system than Pluto. If Pluto wants a bigger role, then Pluto needs to become larger and until then can largely be ignored. It's not altogether different with political issues.
