Because front line Republicans are just parroting what they heard from their leaders.

TBF, before the pandemic, zoom was being used by companies that had employees at different locations.
He very much could get away with it now. None of the candidates, as far as I'm aware, have a public key published and none of them have any way of verifying that the tweet is from the account holder.
Sure a tweet from Kamala saying, "I believe we should execute all illegals" might be an easy one.
But think of this more subtle tweet: "The United States believes in the sovereignty of all recognized nations."
We need our politicians to stop using Twitter for official communications.
The fact that we have so much of our politics in a private company is dangerous.
Musk has the power AND ability to post tweets as if they were from any of the candidates.
Not as a sock puppet. But as them directly.
This is a dangerous ability.
At this point, if a voter is conflicted between a prosecutor who has spent the majority of her life putting criminals away and a racist who has several felony convictions and several more pending, they are effectively Trump voters.
It's really that simple. Anyone else who tells you that they are undecided is because they are racist or they are okay with fascism.
People just seem to be more paranoid about downloading stuff not already installed on their devices.
I see this as a natural byproduct of Google, Apple, et al. "Walled Garden"
They want you to consume only from them and only what they approve of. Granted Apple is far more on the latter side than Google but even Google fought tooth and nail to keep Epic from having their own store.
I don't interact much with people who are younger than me but I feel like the age of tinkering might not be as strong with them as it was for me. PCs were the predominant form factor and you could literally take it apart and put it back together with just a screwdriver. You can't do that with laptops or phones at least not without a lot of other specialized tools. This isn't their fault either since device manufacturers have really tried to make it difficult to do anything that they don't control.
Hell chrome is the best example of this. Google, whose business is selling your personal data for ads, is preventing the use of ad blockers. Firefox is mostly developed by Mozilla with a small handful of volunteers. It's already showing signs of enshittification. We don't have a viable third option.
It will only be a matter of time before these tech companies start having brain drains due to their own greed.
I'm a simple man. I see Practical Engineering, I up vote.
Vance couch fucking. Mics in the cushions.
Are you sure you want this?
It was the most perfect call. There has never been a call perfecter. He called me. That's right. Apple called and said and he said, "Sir, the EU, the NATO, they keep killing us. They are killing us in the market. With the regulations."
These regulations that lying Joe passed with Obama. That's right. He said, "Sir, you have to do something."
I told him I'll be able to once I'm elected. This is really crooked, what these democracies are doing. Kamala, you know, hasn't taken the cognitive. No, she hasn't. What is she now? Indian? Some of those Indians are very smart you know. They have billions of them over in Indiana.
The number one killer of indoor plants is over watering. Wait for the leaves to wilt before watering.
I don't know much about this particular plant but judging by the dark leaves, it probably doesn't need as much light as the label says. Put it in a corner of a room that gets light, but not right in front of it.
Once a week, move the plant closer to the window and see if that helps it perk up.
They wanted free labor but own the changes.
They could have gotten free labor if they used a standard license like GPL or even MIT.
But nope. They were greedy.
Oof almost two hours. I'll have to bookmark and come back to it when I'm not tired.
