I mean, Washington wanted 2 terms to be the norm.

He didn’t, that’s just a whitewashed version we tell ourselves.

He just didn’t want the President to be viewed as a monarch or a lifetime appointment. He turned down a third term because he feared he would die in office and the public would believe that’s the norm.

If you want a smart vacuum but don’t want to lose your privacy or be reliant on a cloud service, Valetudo is the way to go.

Also got GLaDOS on my Z10 Pro!

Love Valetudo - it integrates so well with HA and is entirely local.

Apparently it’s Athena Linux. At least, that’s what the hackable vacuums use.

It’s not a guarantee, though, but it should be. If you serve for, say, 5 years and have not been dishonorably discharged, you should be automatically eligible for citizenship.

As of now, serving only exempts you from the continuous residence and physical presence requirements. You still need to be a permanent resident, know English, understand the US government and history, and demonstrate “good moral character” for at least a year out of the military.

Permanent residency shouldn’t be mandated for soldiers. They’re choosing to serve for the US - isn’t that enough? The English and US government/history requirement should be waived under the assumption that they understand all of those well enough after training and serving in the military. Good moral character really is just that you haven’t committed any serious crime which is fine.

Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days – back in the real old days – it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scrotlin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys and scrat-scroblin’. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like “The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.” And that’s when they made the laws, you see. Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said “This is fair now. This is the law.” Once they were winning, they changed the rules up.

Completely agree.

These are some of the richest and most powerful people in the world. And they bent their knee for Trump, some more willingly than others.

It’s clearly a warning for the rest: fall in line now or face the consequences.

I quit a long time ago without even meaning to.

There was just less and less content to keep me interested while more ads and “recommendations” kept taking their place. At some point I was just forcing myself to open the app each day and just stopped.

If an app, website, or game won’t respect my time, why should I give it any?

WebRTC could be used to provide peer-to-peer streaming. The load on the servers would be very minimal since the feeds would be sent directly from the host to the viewers. A lot of live streaming and video conferencing apps already use it to keep their hosting costs down.

The downside is that the IP address of the viewers will be exposed, even over a VPN unless precautions are taken by the user or the application.

Back when it was 90% junk, 5% okay, 4% great… But also that 1% that was absolutely worth it.

Back when Schwarzenegger and T-Pain were basically the highlights. Victoria running the AMAs - I mean that had to be one of the biggest losses. That bird scientist dude and then the drama after he was caught alt upvoting.
