Yeah, the instruction set and the implementation in hardware is absurd at this point.

AMD and Intel have already partnered on killing x64 in the longer run and work is under way.

They could have just illegally cut down the trees like they illegally used too much water, or any of the other things they did against their agreement with the government.

I do realize. I also realize things like weight of the train, cost of the battery packs, the fact those packs will wear and need to be replaced faster than anything else in the system, and much more.

I guess if by a kernel of truth you mean an existing train was used on an existing track, then you could almost make it make sense? But since all of this existed before, it's just a lie.

I'll also point out that anybody introducing battery electric trains instead of just electrifying the remaining parts of rail is making an astoundingly bad choice, but that's almost certainly Germany and not Tesla.

You and I both know someone somewhere was that stupid before Musk. He isn't even original in what an idiot he is. 😆

It's also just an outright lie. But, I guess that doesn't matter anymore.

The current democratic party isn't standing for trans rights any better than anyone else. Perhaps individual politicians are, but the party has a lot of de facto republicans in the ranks. So vote for them or not, they aren't going to make things better for folks that are trans. They also aren't ending wars, reducing military spending, helping vulnerable people seeking asylum, helping homeless people, providing free mental healthcare or national healthcare at all, and so on. Hell, they haven't enshrined abortion rights into law in the past almost 50 years.

People vote for democrats because of tradition and lesser-of-the-evils reasons. That's it. That's a shitty place to be, and should embarrass us the voters as well as the party.

Trans rights are human rights, and how you treat anyone in your society is how you treat everyone. Democrats were scared in the '80s and '90s to support gay people for this exact reason, and instead of losing elections they started winning because people realize gay people are people. They lost elections because they weren't brave enough to stand with the courage of their convictions, and in my opinion that's what they deserved.

How are they intertwined? Telegram allows public posts and livestreaming, neither of which they moderate. That's nothing to do with encryption and everything to do with pushing the legal boundaries they knew existed.

Anonymity, no. But content privacy yes. Whether Telegram is actually private or can MITM content is another question entirely.

This is to do with content moderation not encryption.
