I didn't realize that he got pinched between legal fees and his taxi business. If President Trump goes down it will be 100% his own doing. It's like he can't help but screw people over that depend on him.

gksu Link ParentI'm not sure why, but the mobile site won't load for me in Android Firefox with uMatrix and Decentraleyes. It does that loading animation and never does.

Comment on What artists do you wish would go back to their roots/an older sound of theirs? in ~music

Or how about Incubus? I'd really love it if they went back to A Crow Left of the Murder.
Rapidfire I've got The Kooks, Klaxons, Gwen Stephani/No Doubt, OKGO, Mos Def (just make another album!), Tegan and Sara, and Maroon 5.
A longer one back is Billy Joel, he really needs to get back to The Stranger. But I doubt that will ever happen.
As a palate cleanser, here's two that will never let you down if you dig their brand of music: Bayside and Spoon. Always amazing, great live shows. They're the epitome of snowmen.

Instead of trying to fight the obvious control schemes going on, they're leaning in. Loot crate gambling addicts are the least of the worries.

If this whole thing is a rebellion against Microsoft for trying to lock down Windows more (and it very much is), then there's no way they'll support lock in via graphics API. You want games on a Mac? Dual boot with Linux. Try ElementaryOS, they're very OSX-like and can easily be made more-so.

1). Yeah, the problem there is crypto nerds still will give you grief even if you're 15/10.
2.1). How about a password encrypted backup. Something like boxcrypter?
2.1). Have you taken a look at the crypto model Signal uses? I seem to remember them using nested crypto.
3). IDK man, maybe some sort of WireGuard VPN protocol where each device is a server and client? Probably won't work with people moving around. Maybe it just needs to be a custom integration and front-end for a Riot implementation?
