invested in his crypto scheme bribed him

Fixed that.

I did exactly that for my mom. Totally non-technical, but she was beginning to absolutely hate all the invasive noise and crap from Windows. All she wanted was to write free of distraction.

So we backed up her files, set up Cinnamon, installed LibreOffice, and imported her files. I set the system up to be offline, since it’s her no-distractions computer, showed her the basics of using it, and basically haven’t heard a peep about it since.

Linux just works, without the bullshit.

Okay, at first I literally did think this was an Onion headline, it’s so fucking idiotic.

Unlike a lot of people, I think the orange shit-head is more evil than stupid… But goddamn, he’s also incredibly stupid.

We’re pretty stupid over here right now. Sorry, world.

It’s old, but… I’ll allow it.

Also…

Dingdong. Willy. Johnson. One-eyed sailor. Trouser snake.

Now it’s your turn.

Here’s one!

The Alex Jones one actually gave me a good “That’s pretty Onion-y” hit.

Yes, but if you report them, I find them faster.

A spoiled and unintelligent child.

And people will fall for it. Again.

Jesus fucking Christ I hate this timeline.

I’m actually kind of glad to see this. Should drive turnout for Carney.

Counter-offer, Vlad: Fuck aaaall the way off back to Russia, then “fall” out a window so someone else can get started on blaming you for everything going wrong and reverse all your horrific garbage.

Sound good?

Sorry guys, this one’s locked now. Y’all need to grow the fuck up.

Well. I stand at least somewhat corrected. The SWIFT usage seems experimental right now, but Kinexys is clearly in use in production.

OK, I’ll bite… Do you have any links to specific banks detailing their use of blockchain to make transfers to other banks?

You may work with banks that are experimenting with it, but it’s not going to replace things like SWIFT any time soon.

Except no it’s absolutely not. They use systems such as ACH and the Federal Reserve Wire Network. For international transfers, they use systems like the SWIFT network.

Why add a crypto middleman to transactions like those?

Rien ne va plus.

He hates being at the White House, with all the rules and procedures that have to be followed there. He’d much prefer to engage in open corruption without all that red tape.

Fair enough.
