Sympathy witheld until forms can be obtained that prove that the bullet holes were not a pre existing condition.
Yeah, I understood that he was pretty scummy, even for a self professed “pirate,” it was the faschist accusation I wanted clarity on. I didn’t get any indication that the guy was interested in assisting any corporations, nor was he trying to help authoritarian ideologues.
I may have totally missed the fascist part since I was far more interested in the pirate part. I personally don’t consider KdC to be an actual digital pirate, since he didn’t seem to give one single shit about the free flow of information.
I also don’t consider him a nautical pirate since he seemed to be making far more booty than a ship’s charter would have allowed, and especially since he wasn’t sharing the booty with anyone at all, as far as I can tell. Pirates were some of the original “communist entrepreneurs,” AKA the original democratic co-op.
It wasn’t pretty, but if someone like KdC became a pirate captain, his reign would be ended by his own crew. Probably spearheaded by the ship’s boatswain (accountant, pronounced like bōsn or bōsün), quartermaster, (the guy with the swords and guns in the armory, also the guy who makes the shift schedule with the boatswain’s recommendations), or the ship’s doctor who regularly knew how much food or medical supplies were left, and could easily recruit the ship’s cook into the “mutiny,” or change of command.
KdC should have lost everyone that represented those keys to power within months of him setting up his scheme.
Well that isn’t the US, clearly. The article is about the US.
I was a Navy Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor. All the documents that I had access to were well known in the civilian zeitgeist before I was born.
Snowden may have done something illegal, though my interpretation of both the UCMJ and Federal Whistleblower laws, as well as my recollection of what he released, says that you are a corporatist that is just salty that your favorite MIC corporation got outed for breaking federal laws.
Manning didn’t break the law and still served an illegal sentence, so I will give Snowden and Asange the benefit of the doubt.
I’m sick and tired of US propaganda, much less the international versions.
Trump stole far more classified documents and that is just fine according to the law
I have no love for KdC.
I would like to see some sources there, as I remember him getting arrested, and as far as I remember, the worst he did was piracy, hosting of piracy, and potentially illegal dissemination of patents. Oh and possibly hosting some potentially illegal VPNs
As a veteran, and former/ kinda current Captain, of the USN, yes. Provided that they fall under the protections for whistleblowers, which both Edward Snowden, and Chelsea Manning fell into rather neatly, according to US federal laws.
Illegal orders are illegal. Even the UCMJ agrees with that stance.
I’m not certain if we have letting agents in the US. I certainly have never used one, and I’ve rented in at least 30+ states. I’ve lived in 49/50, but that’s counting while living with my parents, so I’m not going through the effort to figure out the exact number.
I would agree with your humorous throwaway, but that is actually the reality of the US unfortunately.
Residential renters generally don’t use a real estate agent.
Small Soldiers also taught us how to turn an electric pole transformer into an improvised EMP device. That turns the dogs off.
Elon wants to be Stark. He’s actually Iron Monger. He wants to be Stark so fucking badly.
I mean, that was back when if you wanted a home computer, you were building it yourself from parts from Radio Shack. Not exactly the same thing. I’m not certain that even Apple had the Apple 1 out at that point. I know they hadn’t made the Mac 128k, and weren’t going to for several years.
I haven’t ever met anyone that thought Bill Gates was prescient, just a lucky businessman.
Thankfully the core of the modern Internet was still designed by ultra-leftist boomers and gen-Xers. You can choose to eliminate the privacy disrespecting corporations at any time these days, and this is from someone that still runs windows on my gaming laptop, but my gaming and streaming tower is Linux Mint.
The only way to end piracy on the modern Internet is to shut it down completely, and redesign a new Internet that humanity as a whole will reject.
Fuck the circuits. It’s absolute bullshit that entities can game the system and shop for “favorable” judges because of the appellate courts.
I was combining Wesley with weaseley
I was going for a TNG reference. The HP reference was entirely unintentional, though may have been unconscious.
Shut up, Weasley!
This seems to imply that Linux makes your computer produce oil
