Exactly what I was thinking.

That guy isn't making any big decisions behind the scenes. He's just being puppeteered until he dies.

Just tell your boss you want a union, or he'll have to replace his entire workforce, all 2 of you.

The Georgia GOP is going to get itself caught up in federal RICO charges at this rate.

I wonder how that would work.

I'm almost positive they've been developing an image recognition AI that will make slightly altering csam photos obsolete.

Here's hoping.

That's how it's supposed to work, but in many counties the bondsman doesn't actually front any cash to the court, and they don't get charged if the suspect runs. They operate as a sort of slush fund for the owners, the officials, and the cops.

So these companies are often just another way to siphon money from people accused of a crime.

Super shady stuff.

This guy was a sovereign citizen, so the worst of the worst kind of crazy.

Didn't see that mentioned elsewhere in the thread, and it's a big fucking detail to leave out.

If they used SMS those records are still around.

Or did they use something else?

Maybe 30 years ago.

But in the last 20 years there has been a lot of of funding towards prevention and researching a cure.

An HIV vaccine has proven itself to be an extremely elusive target.

But with recent developments in biotechnology, it may not be much longer before we finally have get one.

And by they, you mean the right wind politicians in power.

The people who vote for them are constantly voting against their immediate interests.

If we had some sort of ranked choice, a lot of these one-issue voters might actually have a choice in their representation. Which would be good for all of us.

And the thing is, there are open source internet browsers that can be written to avoid any browser checks that a law might require.

However, if Google's browser DRM gets widely implemented, a browser-side content blocker would be effective, because all those open source browsers would be unable to access the wider web.

I think if Big Brother Browser with Google DRM is our future, we're going to see people using 2 browsers as standard. They'll have one "corporate" internet browser, for Instagram, Amazon, whatever. And one "free" browser for all the grey area stuff.

Twitter was already struggling with nearly unfettered access to every internet-connected user. (sans heavily censored countries)

If Musk cut off 25%-50% of users, the platform, which relies on eyeballs seeing advertisements, would certainly spiral into oblivion.
