It’s logically possible that he’s innocent, but, all evidence considered, it’s not terribly likely.

It’s somewhat more likely that he’ll walk, though rich, well-connected dudes have a way of evading consequences.

Distributing a lactose-based food as charity to low-income neighbourhoods, when people of colour, who are most overrepresented amongst the poor, are also most likely to be lactose intolerant, has a certain energy.

You know how a lot of DIY gadgets have slogans like “trans rights are human rights” on the circuit boards? I wonder if the Modretro has some fascist slogan similarly inscribed. Perhaps “Deus Vult” or some particularly authoritarian Bible verse number, or maybe just a couple of plausibly deniable 14s and 88s.

He’s been fash for a long time

How’s his British accent? A Bond who is not canonically an Englishman would be like Superman not being American.

Given his leading role in AfS (a party to the right of the far-right SD party, whose role in the ecology of the Swedish far right appears to be to be the ideological shock troops who float extreme ideas and see which of those are ready to be laundered into the mainstream by the “respectable”SD), it’s probably safe to say that this guy was a piece of shit.

Looks like buying the Washington Post paid off then

The downside of this is that it involves giving money to Bezos in the first place. If there are similar techniques that work with, say, Apple Books, Kobo or other stores not owned by a literal Bond villain, they’d be even better.

(Also, everyone else seems to use the EPub format, while Amazon have their own proprietary fork of an old PalmPilot ebook format. Meaning that you’re probably going to need to convert it to EPub for reading, which is one more step and could, in theory, go awry.)

Do they mean “Firefox can get your location data to pass on to pages you give permission to, who we cannot guarantee won’t share it with advertisers” or “Firefox reserves the right to do a deal to monetise the tantalising firehose of location data coming from your device unless you specifically opt out”?

Does he have a large adult failson he could parachute into the position?

Ah yes, Chesterton’s Balcony

Musk is neither a Tesla nor an Edison; he is a Barnum.

I wonder how hard it would be to make some minimal placeholder resources/assets, sufficient to build the game and for it to run, even if it won’t look good or be particularly playable.

tfw your old subculture from decades ago becomes a lot of people’s sexual fetish

I’m guessing they don’t actually have any offices, assets or staff in Sweden.

Signal don’t block users from countries where they are banned, and in fact have options to make bypassing firewalls easier. OTOH, it’s a lot less likely that they might be arrested and extradited to Iran or China while on holiday.

You can instantly get whatever you want, only it’s made from 100% technical debt

What proportion of their GDP is that?

People have jailbroken the Car Thing and are using them to control home automation/media playback and display information.

I’m guessing that, unlike the Spotify Car Thing, there’s no conceivably useful application a jailbroken one of these could be repurposed for.
