Everyone hates her for very good reasons.

There is a reason California didn't vote for her.

At that level, Kamala is hated by her home state as well.

You weren't paying attention. Many states banned anyone else from the ballot, even though there wasn't cause for that by the rules.

There were no debates (Something that would have given Democratic party members time to decide if they thought Biden was electable.)

Some states were told their delegates wouldn't count.

There was no fair Democratic Party primary. If you think there was you were either not paying attention, or you didn't want a fair primary in the first place.

This problem is a problem of the Democratic Part{EDIT}y's own making.

This is a comment from someone who has no idea what DKIM is.

Those emails were cryptographically proven to be sent from that email server.

Saying anything else proves you are ignorant of the technology and trying to provide cover for emails that were proven to come from the DNC servers at a mathematical level.

It's amazing how many of those started with Lennart, too.

I've been self-hosting a bunch of stuff for over a decade now, and have not had that issue.

Except for a matrix server with open registration for a community that others not in the community started to use.

That is what the data Sim is for that I mentioned above.

I'm super happy with jmp.chat

I was hesitant to try it, but once I ported my number over, it's the best service I've ever used.

It's $5/month, and your phone calls and texts are forwarded to an XMPP account. Voice mails are transcibed and sent as a text, with the included audiofile. It works over the internet, so you can have multiple phones with the number, and you can use your computer for the service as well.

For data, I use jmp.chats data only esim. It's $7/year + $5/gig but the data never expires.

LOL.

Yeah, that's why the north is evacuated and Hezbollah is striking the north of Israel with impunity. How's that Iron Dome working in the North?

Secondly, Hezbollah is probably, pound for pound, the most competent military force in the region right now. You want to discount that to feel safe, well, that's part of the fuck around and find out. Thirdly, Iran will have this as an Casus Belli to enter the conflict, and the PMU's in Iraq have already stated they will invade in the event of an invasion of Lebanon.

The only powers in the region that are threat to them are Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

This is what makes it clear that you are not a serious person in the area. Saudi Arabia couldn't beat the poorest nation in the world with American planes, Columbian mercenaries, American refueling, and American intelligence all while starving the nation in an attempted genocide.

Saudia Arabia as a regional military power? That's a bad joke. I can't believe you wrote that with a straight face. They were literally beat by teenagers in flip flops.

Having an opinion on privacy is having an opinion on a political topic, and yet you cross posted this to the privacy ... Sub-lemmy?

This will be a hyperbolic statement, but it is true, none the less.

Creating technology without consideration for how it is used inevitably helps bad people do horrible things. The person who devised the gas chambers for the Nazis should have considered it's politics. Warner Von Braun cared about rocketry over anything else, to the point that he didn't consider the politics and was happy to use slave labor to help him get to space.

The scenario I described is World War 3.

That what Bibi, and Biden with his unwavering support, are playing with.

then you’re sorely mistaken about how truly insane US defense spending is.

NevermindNoMind already made this point to you but it bears repeating, Money spent doesn't translate into combat effectiveness. In fact, it tends to actually go against it. EDIT: Or, more specifically, money spent on individual weapon systems. The best weapon is the cheap one that can be mass produced, even if there are better weapon systems.

Ansarallah has been clear that part of their missile strategy is to eat into our budgets. They've been winning by that strategy. The total cost of their drones/missiles used against the US was in the several hundred thousand range, and the estimate for the missile defense ammo the US has used is around a billion dollars, and that was several months ago. Even the US can't compete with that cost disparity.

Secondly, it doesn't matter how many ships you have if you can't resupply them with ammo. America outsourced its production capabilities. It didn't outsource its weapon production facilities, but we can't convert the facilities we don't have any more to support increased ammo production, and we don't have enough weapons factories to supply the requisite ammo for continued operations in a modern war.

Third, your usage of "just planes and helicopters" is stupid beyond description. I am not willing to agree with you that the US will have air superiority in all theaters, which sadly is what its military doctrine both requires and assumes. (Which, by the by, is why the NATO trained Ukrainians did so poorly with their spring offensive. It's not their fault they couldn't use tactics that assume air superiority that they didn't have, but jesus the NATO people switched to racism right quick to explain the failure.) However, other countries doctrine assumes that air superiority won't be theirs.

Iran, for example, assumes they won't have air superiority from the start and so they spent most of their engineering time on missile technology. The Russians have tried to compete with their aircraft, but focused mainly on their G2A anti-air defenses. Now, even with Syria and Ukraine, there still isn't a lot of info on the effectiveness of the S400 in against the American Airforce.

It also doesn't account for the huge disparity in drone deployment capability which is frankly the future of the next war. And the US fails at this completely. The two main US drones cost 30 and 40 million a piece when the name of the game here is CHEAP. Frankly, Iran and now Russia beat our pants off on this topic. Even Hezbollah and Ansarallah have confirmed US drone kills. This is the scariest part. Culturally in the American military right now, being involved with drones was not seen as a career advancer, and definitely not something you'd want to put money into serious research.

This is more than I meant to write in response to a comment that basically amounts to a middle-schooler pounding their chest while screaming "My daddy can beat up your daddy" so I'm going to end it here.

If you think money translates to military readiness and sound doctrine, then you're not thinking about this very hard at all.

If they do, that will very likely pull in Iran, Russia, and now with the recent agreement, possibly North Korea.

The US is not as big as they were in the late nineties and early aughts.
