I don’t trust anyone with a red hat. Is Red Hat the MAGA of Linux?

Maybe, maybe not. What you have to consider is that when you are in the military, the federal government owns you like livestock. They feed you, house you, and can send you to your death. You don’t necessarily need money, especially in the short term. Moreover, there are rules that prevent active duty military from being ejected from housing. You might not be happy about dollar devaluation, but the blame will be focused on the “bad” people of California and you’re there to make it right. It would take a lot for the U.S. military machine to grind to a halt, and a lot of damage can be done while it is happening.

Another common idea is that the good folks in the military aren’t going to shoot civilians, and would rebel if ordered to. While there might be some isolated rebellion, most people in the military are conditioned to follow orders, and will do so, even if such orders are illegal. People will do what they have to to keep the pressure off themselves.

realizing they aren’t gonna get paid or that their money has become essentially worthless.

If California’s taxes suddenly evaporated, it would create a massive budget deficit that would have to be plugged by printing money, would debase the currency and likely cause hyperinflation.

That would break the bank. California is 4th largest economy in the world, after the U.S., China, and Germany. It would probably cause Trump to declare martial law and send troops to California.

I remember my mother once getting an unfavorable decision in court (civil trial) and faked crying in court to attempt to reverse the decision.

That’s called a “pity ploy” or “pity play” and is commonly used by narcissists and sociopaths to manipulate people to get their own way.

thanks!

I installed it and did the setup and it worked great for many months. Then, in the last few days, something changed, though I made no changes to my browser or ublock. Today it works fine. Yesterday I was getting the nag. I didn’t make any changes from yesterday to today.

For some reason I’ve been getting the “ad blockers violate the terms of service” nag lately on my firefox browser with ublock origin. My Brave browser doesn’t get it though. Any ideas?

It used to be that phone technology improved relatively quickly, and a 2 year old phone was significantly worse than the latest and greatest. Now, not so much. I use a Pixel 6 Pro running Graphene OS, and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on the latest tech. The camera is great, certainly more than good enough for me, and the phone is responsive and does everything I need it to do, and it’s 3+ generations old. I see no need to spend $1000+ on a new phone.

They’re also very costly and take a long time to build.
