Never in recorded history have authoritarians ceded power without violence. Ever.
The older politicians bring history, decorum and ceremony to the Congress.

I’m not a fan of term limits because they would allow megacorporations to buy influence too easily (with free retries every X years).

Establishment has flaws for sure, but de-stabilization is not one of them.

Steady state can only be achieved with balance.

Do content creators have a lot of say over what advertising gets spliced in to their creation?
This is exactly why I built username.md We cryptographically prove identity and authorization grants.

Granted, it wouldn’t have helped in OP’s situation because the agent was the user by proxy.

I mention it toward your latter exemption.

There are many Ai precedents that have not been set. I believe this is one of them.
Freescout is open source and all its plugins is how we solved customer support at https://username.md

The problem isn’t the proofs, it’s proper attribution.

Pride always comes before the fall.

Some think Musk bought Twitter/X because of the bots, not in spite of them.

Given recent events and social media manipulation that occurred right before the last US election and the character that has since been revealed, it doesn’t surprise me.

Ha! I was very similar. Now I have a few accomplishments under my belt, I can appreciate craftsmanship and art for the sake of art.
It was a side hustle, but a layoff has made it my new job:

Launched and happy to answer any questions.

This is actually pretty interesting. I run a yml based factbook of company variables and this will slot right in.

Have you thought about integrating with Wazuh or similar?

The point of school is to expose you briefly to many things in hopes that one catches your fancy.

Drafts.app is hideous but it has great routing capability and a dictation feature. I use it to capture what my thoughts and route based on content. I have a button that routes to an internal voice agent named KiKo. Ideas get routed to Things or todoist. Issues get routed to github, etc. It’s one universal surface for note capture.

But man is it ugly.

Is there an entity that can validate they are not SOC2 compliant outside of their claim?

Most people don’t accidentally close the tab so methinks that your experience falls within standard error.

Thank you for the archive link.

F 15 Strike Eagle, Infiltrator and 688 Attack Sub were some of my first games.

And then came Leisure Suit Larry and the tweenage years.

I asked OP if he could integrate this with something like wazuh for governance. That would be a useful combination.
Have you considered bolting this frontend on something like Wazuh for fleet governance?
