I agree with this thread except for this : “The days of running entirely on the client are over, which I see as a good thing.”. Subscription based software is gouging. It prevents professionals from owning their own tools that are now taken away during economic downturns.

Note that any appeals of the Texas ruling will go straight to SCOTUS, without stopping at the 5th Circuit along the way. That's because the original case was heard by a three-judge district court. Federal law specifies that appeals of such cases go right to SCOTUS.

especially if the rumor that Netflix would get Warner Bros. (the studio) and Comcast would get HBO Max is true. All consolidation is bad, but a right-wing Trump-loving techbro dynasty owning and destroying two of the five remaining major studios is beyond bad.

is it subjective to call him a traitor if he keeps doing treasonous shit
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."
