True, one person needs an account. You used to be able to do Jitsi - and before it other webrtc calling solutions - with no account at all but now Jitsi also needs the first host to sign in.

But Signal calls, every participant must have a Signal account. The others, I can invite people to join with no account.

“Browser tech”? Just the fact you can make it work from a browser without needing to install anything else. Again, Signal isn’t set up for that kind of thing. It’s just designed and extended from a different use case.

Jitsi. Even zoom and teams allow joining without an account. Good ol’ webrtc and browser tech.

Again, which party is it giving the mega wealthy tax breaks?

But that’s rather the point here, isn’t it? So much Democrat rhetoric and support comes across as, “they’re worse so you have to like us.” Not exactly inspiring to people whose livelihoods are struggling.

where you differ from a whildly unpopular president… and you answer “nowhere”.

I watched the beginning of the Trump-Harris debate. When Harris was asked why she and Biden kept Trump’s trade tariffs (after just saying how bad new ones would be), she gave no answer and went back to bashing Trump.

And your points on the economy are essentially, the economy is booming…

I felt a lot of disconnect between the “Biden is the greatest” and “America is suffering” rhetoric in the lead up to the election.

the worry some have about fascism taking over is not believed by many… politicians say a lot…

Not American here, but I still have much hope that the fate of America is in the hands of her people. My biggest fear at Trump’s election is if it inspires more of the nation to hate and anger - because the president is your leader in that way.

But you see, Trump won because a lot of people voted for him. If the American people can find a new love for the poor, for fairness between worker and manager, for people who look and act differently: then I have great hope for the nation’s recovery.

One particular thing I noticed, is on the one hand was the rhetoric that Biden was the saviour of the economy and the working class, the antithesis to corporate greed, and all problems are from COVID and leftovers from Trump; and on the other hand, that prices are rising, people are poorer, while corporations post record profits.

If I were an American, that dissonance would give me a little skepticism about all the pro-democratic rhetoric I’ve been hearing.

Again, not that that really answers the questions, but it does shift the impressions one gets.

Well it’s a lot of hot gas shooting out the back that pushes it forward. Would you like beans in the fuel for a true fart?

Judging by the dumb car videos I’ve seen on the internet, I think both kinds can!

DALL-E

It looks rather short on forks!

Clearly the cat’s name is Fork.

Crazier still when you consider it’s pushed into the sky by its own farts.

Do you make a beeping noise when you back out of the bathroom after?

Oh well, “if buying isn’t owning…” Time to watch some Lockpicking Lawyer and trundle down to the car licensing lot and indulge in a little piracy >;-)

I don’t think 2mil is enough to make a factory capable of making cars that can compete economically with mass-produced cars. More of a hobby project, I imagine. But if you can do it, even on a small scale - go ahead! That’d be great! Make the world a better place one bit at a time.

Also to some of us (myself included) 1M salary and 2M equity is already through-the-roof rich!

Huh, TIL.

Tsch, that’s the opening sequence.

“You have broken free! Now what do you want to do?”

Ooh, living life dangerously.

I would not like to have that as a finger habit!

If you read the clues, yes.

Frankly, for a lot of places, I don’t know that would be such a bad idea.

Now doing the same for land, that would be bad…

Do you usually start the car from your bedroom?
