Trump took a LOT of money in gifts from China while in office so I would guess they like him
Edit to add source. There are lots more articles, this is far from the only one

Mumble does that one thing just fine, but it doesn't do all the things discord does.
And it's not just the fact that discord does all those things that's made it so dominant; it's the fact that it does all those things in one place.
Even just the core features of voice chat, text chat, and the ability to set up a new server where you have extensive moderation control in one click -- it's what people wanted.
They don't need a handful of different programs to glue together a shittier experience, they need a FOSS discord/slack.
??? I hope you don't actually think this
There's no reason to require everyone on earth to prioritize a better computer interfacing environment over their free time.
My time is worth way more to me than video game voice chat -- but it's not either/or. Thanks to other developers, I can have both.
I'm not opposed to the idea but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing you can just try one time. Isn't there some kind of preparation phase to be able to handle ..."stuff"?
I used to take my kids out to McDonald's for a quick bite - it was easy, food-allergy safe, and cheap -- but now it's the same price as the local burger place so fuck mcd
Money is the only thing he cares about. Keep the fines going up. We can call it the Trumping Point: the amount of money required to make a billionaire understand consequences. Then future fines to other billionaires can just start there.
For real though, imagine the orange apoplexy if he lost all his wealth.
Clinton is the same person as Obama who is the same person as Biden so Biden is basically on there.
I'm not sure if there is a "good time" to buy - not as a blanket timeframe for all things. If you want to save money, use camel camel camel and patience.
However - it all depends on how much you're talking about trying to save, how substantial that amount is to you, and how much your time is worth - because if you make $20/hour and you spend 16 hours in order to save $5, that's not a great investment.
Black Friday is almost always a scam. Maybe once upon a time it wasn't, but, capitalists gotta capitalize.
Maybe for you rich people who can afford $10 for a 256gb ssd.
Kidding aside, I've been collecting digital music literally since Napster, and a lot of it is mp3 because storage was a commodity for a long time - getting flacs meant I had better quality of less music.
Now that things are changing, when I want to listen to something old, and I notice it's a lie quality mp3, I had over to see my cousin Roman. (Was that dude Russian? Does that euphemism work? How about My Friend Vlad or something. Russian torrent sites. I'm talking about Russian torrent sites.)
Will things fail to function if they can't make their $HOME/.dumbfiles?
Literally Edward Snowden mentioning it is the first time I heard of it, and after that, it was in the news a few times when big leaks happened, and the people who used Proton Mail never seemed to be the ones who got caught. That's the only I've ever heard them being "advertised" - and that's a pretty fucking good ad campaign: be one that people can rely on when their lives are at stake.
Chicagoan here, chiming in: I saw this guy like 4 times on my way to work this morning.
