Has "performance" or "merit" meant much to Trump for anything else?

This Pentagon has now indicated they're willing to abuse the "supply-chain risk" label for political reasons, casting doubt over all future, legitimate uses of the label.

That's a massive mistake and we're all far less safe because of it.

OpenAI made a statement agreeing with Anthropic's "red lines". Google has yet to do the same, although there's been quite a lot of chatter from employees about it.

I'm the cloud infrastructure business we like to call that the 9mm test. It's quite effective.

Whoa you gotta put an NSFW tag on images like these.

So long as it's appropriately branded. If we get a bunch of "Trump bucks" right before midterms, I'm sure that could sway some people to keep him in power.

Good point; I was unaware of the state-level laws. Regardless, I will stand by my statement: it's better than what we've currently got.

America needs mandatory voting to stop this behavior

As much as that seems like a good solution, it's unlikely to win many supporters. You'd be better off making voting day a federal holiday.

Doing anything while connected to open Wi-Fi networks. All it takes to eavesdrop on an open Wi-Fi network is a laptop and proximity. Although they can't eavesdrop on your SSL/TLS traffic, they can (and will) pick up on (insecure) DNS requests, which gives them at least the domains of any websites and services that you use (if not the specific pages).

ROFL using (claimed) age as a proxy for maturity. Classic.

Best guess? They're either truly dedicated satirists, gone off the metamodernist deep end into deep post-irony, or they've genuinely decided that modernist Grand Narratives weren't really all that bad (let's just ignore all the atrocities they brought about). After all, far-left modernist narratives aren't at all like those other, far-right modernist narratives! They're different, just like everybody else who is selling a utopia (that's only practically attainable through an authoritarian regime).
