The city of London, the Vatican and the Freemasons made Trump do this performative legal challenge so that this thing that was already happening would keep happening!
no, i think he has a point.
there are organization like the the institute for justice, GOA, etc who's whole job is to just take cases pro bono with the intent to bring them to higher appeals courts and strike down laws they dont like.
they only take cases they think they will win not because they simply want to win, but because losing the case would be pretty devastating because it would mean the law has now been affirmed by an even higher court.
for the trump admin to take a case they KNOW they would lose all the way to the supreme court and then lose (as everyone expected) they have caused birthright citizenship to be affirmed by the highest court. for this to be struck down in the future by a court, it would require convincing the same supreme court to admit that their previous affirmation was incorrect, which wont happen.

i bought watchdogs because it was on sale on steam for like 2 bucks and when installing it i saw that it wanted to install vmprotect DRM
so i look up vmprotect to see if just how malicious it is and straight up TAs will use it to obfuscate malware
like, its not just a rat that publishers use to spy on you like most other DRM services, is not even vulnerable to malware to be used to live off the land.
it is literally a tool actively used by malware devs to hide their malware and make it hard to reverse engineer.

this is the guy who maintains the premier windows activation script for when MS wont accept your license key despite you actually paying for windows.

i had installed xanasoft's major privacy tool a while back so i used it to dig into the activities of software on my computer and it was in some ways worse than i thought and in other ways not as bad
1. a lot of applications will query the user home folders. most of them only query default folders. a few will also query everything that isnt a dotfile or hidden. they only query the top level of dirs and not any files or subdirs in the home folder. i dont know why
2. everything lives in appdata and only touches its own appdata folders.
3. the only significant spying was with MS defender's spynet sending off information about binaries executed and IRIS being actual malware (it got firewalled after that)

update on this:
windows wanted to reboot to install 25h2. this is always spotty because i have full disk encryption via veracrypt and sometimes windows updates can break booting because microsoft sucks.
after firewalling everything the computer rebooted that night to update and now its irrecoverable
i ended up installing bazzite linux. ive been testing my games and all of them work somewhere between "fine" and "just as good as native windows"
so i guess im not using windows anymore. what a blessing

at first i thought this article was about banning tvs from routing through consumer vpn services, somehow.
nope, its turns out that FOURTY TWO PERCENT of all apps that LG serves from its own app store are malicious and give unknown access to both your local network and egress to the internet.
this would be a truly unbelievable stat if not for the fact that earlier this week LG got blasted for silently auto installing malware when you plug one of their monitors into a windows computer.
