  • I had time to think for a bit. Please be advised that I’m not an American citizen and the following is purely conjecture.
    Basically, I believe the US is FUBAR. There are 4 possible scenarios for the 5th of November:

    • Trump gets so demented it’s getting impossible to get him propped up, he has to concede somewhere around that time
    • Trump finally gets thrown in jail, before election day
    • Biden wins - right now it looks like it would be a close call
    • Trump wins

    The article mentions, as many have before, that the “conservative” way of “thinking” has become purely emotional. So what do you think will happen if either of the three first will come true? Someone will seize the day and shout some bullshit conspiracy or another and now 20-30% of your emotionally driven population will get set to “angry” and “revenge”.
    If he simply wins: Mission accomplished!

    Now that I’ve thought a bit more, even (maybe especially?) if Biden wins in a landslide, the conspiracy spin could even be made stronger. Yikes. It might be the time of troubles on a very large scale and I reaaaaaaaaaly hope I’m totally wrong with all this!











  • Obviously there a people in charge now who will never understand the Streisand effect. They could have kept it quiet and just… allow… the technical adept users to do their thing. Now, they are the laughing stock and get unwanted attention. Also, from my layman understanding, this shit won’t fly in the EU at all.

    Or, to say it differently: This is the best thing to happen to Mozilla in quite a long time and I’m a fan.
