It has likely changed since I last checked before his presidency, but he had a Top Secret Clearance with NO SCI.

I knew he had admitted to actively using drugs a few times and I wondered how he held an active security clearance. What I could find was essentially: SpaceX was the best option for the US government to conduct satellite-based intelligence missions, as in launch satellites into orbit for the purpose of Space Force related surveillance.

To that end they waived a lot of sketchy shit on Elon’s background to give him a TS so he could primarily attend and give briefings, but no SCI as he didn’t actually do any work requiring it.

Source: I wish I could fucking find any now, but there’s a flood of thousands of article talking about his security clearance as a presidential advisor now.

The real answer is because in America rich people buy houses, and then create HOAs in the housing deeds and contracts to force all future owners to maintain the house in a way that will increase the neighborhood property value forever.

HOAs exclusively fight to make houses more and more “valuable” since housing is a financial investment here

Yeah, if it was realistic it wouldn’t be fun

it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk is a Nazi

It has been seen.

I’m pretty sure you also indirectly support monetarily services and countries you disagree ideologically with.

Yes and when I recognize my avenues of support, I switch away and stop supporting things I don’t like. I don’t make excuses to keep using Dogshit.

You don’t support them ideologically, but you are supporting one by giving ad viewership and personal data revenue to Elon Musk. Supporting a Nazi doesn’t just mean you post good things about them online, and talk good about them in person. You support them monetarily by using their platform.

It honestly (usually) does lead to a fantastic product! I maintain my own significantly used tools independently and completely agree. I also have seen locally (as a corporate pawn and life-long software engineer) what happens once somebody quits and no longer maintains their beautiful project(s).

You work so much FASTER alone than you do in a group. You also can NEVER get as far with your tool when you work alone. I think the best FOSS tools are born from independent savant developers, but for them to reliably be carried on, they have to be passed down to SOMEONE. It’s not your job to foster the entire next generation of tablet-children to be able to push golden commits to your curl 2.0 repo; it is pretty worthwhile to foster at least a handful of interested and headstrong people to understand your work in its entirety, and carry on its progress. And then they can do the same, and FOSS will live on forever (as it SHOULD be).

You probably spent an obscene amount of time developing an S+ tier piece of tooling, it would be pertinent to spend another marginal month or so to raise some lil star to be able to mimic your work once you tap out.

Having more free time is cool, but there’s more things in life. As MC Ride said: “LIKE GETTING YOUR DICK. RODE ALL FUCKING NIGHT.” Find some lil dick rider to carry on your shit.

if a maintainer doesn’t want your sticky grubby toddler hands fuckin in their cookie jar, it’s their fucking cookie jar and they can tell you to fuck off.

Yeah, that is exactly how it works. And doing that leads to your tool dying since you have no clue how to foster a community to take care of it.

• Intelligence Communities work with classified stuff more than anyone. You may only FOIA unclassified stuff so the information and documents you can FOIA is limited

• OPM is the most important at the moment as they are the office primarily under attack and being abused by Elon Musk and DOGE. They are the vehicle that Musk is using and abusing to try and destroy all Federal workers across every agency.

Original creators and maintainers are hitting retirement age.

And not many good younger people are available to take the mantle.

This is the long-term cost of how persnickety FOSS maintainers are when it comes to accepting outside contributions to their work.

One thing I would like to say for people who aren’t familiar and won’t read the article:

Every federal agency has its own FOIA team, in this case the OPM FOIA team was slaughtered and flayed for sport. It’s possible other agency’s FOIA teams were removed, but also more likely that they still exist. This wasn’t a blanket death of all FOIA, just the death of arguably the most important FOIA team

The dude showed up to Stuttgart to say hi to all the soldiers and got protested by middle schoolers and dependas on post.

He was also a whiny little bitch about Congress refusing to pay for his personal $150k home renovation, and went on a Twitter rant about it blaming woke libtards. Fucking disgrace of a veteran, soldiers hate this clown.

The most toxic leader, and he failed all the way up.

Find me a software engineer who isn’t autistic I fucking dare you

I think murder (first degree, premeditated, cold-blooded) is worse than that

Someone has died in both cases. So why?

MFs say they want a new age rage against the machine but don’t wanna go to Grimey Gabe’s house out in the boonies, pack it in nut to butt in his garage, listen to hardcore bands, and get their head caved in during the most pit.

You gotta support the zoomer Zach De La Roches while they’re small to see them transform into a full grown Tom Morrello

How do you feel about this murder? https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-asthma-medicine-lawsuit-walgreens-optum-8b4130ab404e513fbd68c9e02b51976b

Will you post comments asking where the justice is for this lost life?

It’s true outside of police unions
