So just like Musk, you're pro-censorship of views you don't like but give free passes to those who's views you approve of?

A client i work for used a Pick system and it's maintained by one dude. He's in his 60s, so who knows how long they'll be able to get support...

Polititions, so correct on both counts!

I have used Moon+ Reader [1] for years with the build-in Android TTS service. It works very well, is free, and sounds good enough for me.

Imagine this at mcdonalds:

It'd like a burger OK, here it is. What is the charge? I'm not sure. I'll send you a bill in 2-32 weeks.

Why not just a straight voip phone using starlink as network? Why do 4/5G to starlink at all?

You'd think there'd be a super-slim version of uBlock that only blocked Google's nag messages to install chrome

I've seen arguments like this before. It boils down to "the second amendment gives me the right to own/buy/manufacture any weapon I need to defend myself against tyranny."

The problem is to maintain the private citizen/armed forces of a cou try balance of power is ludicrous. What exactly do you need to buy to defend yourself against a troop of Navy Seals? OK, training and gear. For a start: Teflon coated bullets, high velocity rounds, grenades, land mines, high explosives.

OK next step. What do you need to defend yourself from an armored tank division?

The 82nd airborne?

A harrier jet?

Sorry, but once the military reached a certain point, it's impossible. And trying makes you sound like a madman.

I'd say it's less bad for the people involved - it "only" trashes their credit. It makes life difficult, for sure. I'm sub-400 I believe. But a mortgage foreclosure trashes your credit and you lose your home. I /just/ need to come up with 12 months security, so I essentially can never move.

I'm not certain, but I believe they are backed by the fed, but issued by private lenders.

Any HNers currently in college? Is your loan from a federal institution or a private lender?

They aren't securitized the way mortgages were, but you also can't walk away. Student loans are immune to bankruptcy so it follows you forever.

I detected slight sarcasm, but you may be more right than you know. We'll see in 3 years, or less (please)
