Trump

[F-ZeroOne]

I wish I could be that optimistic, at least some of Trumps support doesn't seem that far removed away from being a cult.

Florida man accused of breaking Mastodon's open-source license with botched social network launch

Golf enthusiast given 30 days to cough up code

(Yes, the whole article refuses to name Trump directly - to not give him any search-engine-friendly publicity - but drops more than enough hints as to who they're talking about.)

It seems Trump has simply taken the open-source Mastodon source code and tried modifying it to disguise its origins (though nowhere near well enough that it's bloody obvious he's half-inched it), to avoid complying with its licence's requirements to make publicly available the source code of any modifications.

He has 20 seconds to comply - sorry, I mean, he has 30 days to comply - before legal action is taken (by the Software Freedom Conservancy, who's also launched a lawsuit against TV manufacturer, Vizio, for breaking the GPL too).

Its always the ones that cry loudest about "LAW AND ORDER" isn't it?

I should point out that when I said "hacked", that was a bit of an overstatement. It was simply poor set-up that allowed people to do the things they did. If I were an extreme right-winger Trump-worshipper who was planning a little sedition on the side, I'd totally have no concerns about using TRUTHSOCIAL!

According to Bloomberg, the Republican Party is still paying out for Trump’s medical bills accumulated while he was in office. To the tune of $3 million.

Any attempt by that party to wash its hands of Trump should be ignored. They chose him, they backed him right up to and including the coup attempt on January 6th.

The inquiry panel is now looking at criminal referrals for key people involved in January 6th (both the planning and events on the day) - meaning they would face a federal trial and possible jail term, on top of any sentence already handed down. And that could include Trump.

Just saw the best internet comment ever, in relation to the Trump-supporter social media rabbit hole and the supposed all-powerful forces at play but could also be applied to UK politics around Brexit, the rise of the extreme right in France and europe, and all the rest of it.

It's not 4d chess. It's hungry hungry hippos.

A lot of his supporters are getting VERY angry about him getting his booster.

But why shouldn't he get a booster shot? He invented the vaccines himself when he was president, didn't he?

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is engaged in delicate negotiations with the Secret Service over how to handle the potential arrest of former President Donald Trump next week on charges that he made an illegal payoff to a porn star to keep her silent about an alleged sexual affair, according to a source familiar with the talks.

Trump on Saturday posted a message on social media that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday. He called on his supporters to "PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!"

Thing is if he runs for president, he may win.

"OPEN BOARDERS"? You were President for four years, shouldn't you have done something about this piracy problem?

Also: ALL CAPS. Always the sign of a fully rational mind.

Props to the way he slipped in inflation though, inferring that it's the fault of left-wing anarchists and illegal immigrants from prison and mental institutions.
I think the cunt knows exactly what he's doing.
