I’m not a lawyer, but in my view the presidential immunity doesn’t mean the president can do anything he wants. It just means he can’t be personally prosecuted for his actions.
So it didn’t give Biden the right to remove whoever he could: the legal process to impeach a Supreme Court judge would still hold. It just means that if he killed a political enemy, he couldn’t be prosecuted for murder.
Still a shitty ruling though.
That’s it. As a teacher who has been dealing with this in the last 2-3 years, the only reliable way I have found is to do short interviews.
Students hand in their work, I grade it, then I ask them verbally a few easy questions about what they mean in specific sections of their work. How they score on these questions is used as a coefficient that I apply on the grade to get the final score.
So they can use LLMs, but they have to understand its output.
Keepassxc DB has strong encryption.
Every non Republican since 2016 has been hoping that someone is gonna come somehow and save the US from Trump. We’re in 2026, Trump is still president and nothing seems to push back against him.
I don’t believe in a sudden revolutionary surge in the US. Shit’s gonna get worse, slowly, irrevocably, unless the general population develop some sense of solidarity and there’s real political involvement from the population at every level. But that’s hard in a population as divided as the United States’.
Among the buyers is a company called Affinity Partners, founded by Jared Kushner.

So what’s your plan then?
The problem in the US is that no one seems to realize that 1. Political change is not instantaneous and 2. Political change needs efforts/sacrifice.
Organize, vote in every election, make your voice heard in the primaries, etc.
There’s no meaningful opposition party
Indeed, the Dems suck right now, but that can change. You just need enough people speaking loud enough with a clear message.
I agree. I’m sure anyone is this community would enjoy recommendations to similar music!
I think they make good and original music, but yeah I’m not sure they can keep this up for too long. My feeling is they’ll do maybe another album and then go back to bar gigs in Quebec making experimental stuff.
The guy didn’t make a good movie for the last 30 years. His opinion isn’t worth much.
Well, lone dudes doing dumb things won’t do anything. People need to organize.
It could be a dangerous path indeed, giving the government full access to your phone. I’m not sure the bill says that though.
But I think most people already do… A huge bunch of apps collect everything they can on you; tiktok used to be the worst. I wouldn’t trust a government less than a private company.
I dunno, maybe forcing companies to put (or remove) specific features on their software could set an interesting legal precedent: it could be used to stop companies from pushing features people don’t want or designing apps with dark patterns.
Ok but isn’t it already the case anyway? How would age verification make it easier?
I see how this is bad from a privacy standpoint, but how does it affect device ownership?
Never underestimate the destructive power of stupidity.
I’m no historian, but what’s happening these days looks a lot like the second industrial revolution to me. Tech progress enabling an enormous concentration of wealth, a financial crisis looming ahead and something that looks more and more like a global conflict.
I hope there’s a Roosevelt 2.0 somewhere not too far in the future.
Well shit. Alberta should nationalize this industry.
If your friends are embarrassed by the apps you choose to use, maybe it’s time to find better friends
I agree with the general point, but I don’t think people don’t know how to fight: there’s just apathetic. Mass entertainment media and many social media platforms do a great job at distracting people from politics. Add this to the decline in education in the US, and you have an explanation for whatever’s happening in the US right now.
