That's not the bet. It's a frivolous lawsuit with no chance at succeeding.

They're either betting that defending it would cost more than $25M, that a bribe will bring them favor, or, more likely, accepting that the cost of doing business in Mein Dönald's America is to periodically pay large baseless "fines" at the whim of a dementia patient.

That sign is clearly a paid actor!

At this point, a 3 year shutdown may be preferable to allowing Mein Dönald to finish out her term.

Are we talking about Thiel or Elon?

Engagement bait

Petition to make every fediverse comment require narration so that sarcasm can be easily detected.

Yes, but on the other hand: he got his and fuck yours.

Yes, the actual representative will never read this and as far as a response goes, you will get an insulting patronizing pre-written letter or just completely ignored. However, some intern or bot should categorize your letter and add it to a report shown to the representative.

By contacting your reps, at the very least, you can be sure that:

  1. You are doing something and exercising one of the tools you've been given to fight this hellscape, which is more than 99%+ of people do.
  2. Your rep will have to ignore even more signs about how much of a piece of shit they are.

I highly recommend contacting your reps as frequently as possible. Resistbot is a great tool that makes writing your reps as easy as sending a text message. There's no need to spend a ton of time writing these letters, they're being categorized, not read. So, you can literally write and send a letter to your reps in less than one minute. I think their Telegram bot costs them less than SMS, so I'd recommend using that.

If you're fine with self hosting, you can just self host it and backup your local drives to a remote location. That's what I do.

For backup software, I use Duplicacy. But Veeam, Borg, etc.. would work just fine. For images, since they're just static files and you don't really need a version history, you could get away with a scheduled rsync job. Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.

For remote storage, I'd first consider a Hetzner storage box since they are flat-rate pricing and pretty dang cheap at $13/mo for 5TB. You might also consider StorJ, B2, S3, etc... I'd just stay away from any lesser known ultra-cheap storage providers.

I hate this move and love my sideloaded apps. However, there are plenty of self hosted apps on the play store. It's just putting in a unique address at setup, not compiling a whole unique app for each server.

And allowing Trump to win by not electing Harris benefited the victims of genocide how, exactly?
