There are shirts that say "Rewrite the rules," so it's pretty clear that they know this isn't allowed and are trying to start early and normalize tearing up the Constitution.

Also:

Republican senators on Capitol Hill later downplayed Trump's comments, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, of South Dakota, telling reporters that Trump couldn't seek a third term "without a change in the Constitution."

Thune also said Trump is "probably messing" with reporters who ask about the possibility of a Trump 2028 campaign.

So they're going with the tried-and-true "it's just a joke, bro" defense, until of course it isn't.

Asked to comment, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt referred NBC News to the Trump Organization “since it’s their website,” adding, “but it’s a cool hat and I suspect it will be highly popular!”

New tagline just dropped! "Dictatorship: It's A Cool Hat and I Suspect It Will Be Highly Popular"

"I came in to negotiate peace between the armed home invader and the homeowner. Yes, the home invader killed a few members of the family, but when I pointed a second gun at the homeowner and demanded the homeowner give up their living room permanently to the invader, and also give me the bathroom, the homeowner wouldn't even compromise. At this point, I don't know what more I can do."

OpenAI recently updated ChatGPT to be able to reproduce images in a specific style, and a lot of people posted Ghibli-style versions of things. So all of a sudden, it's a big deal.

They're still a corporate entity, and they still want access to markets to make money.

I'm in the US, where's my $10,000?

To Trump, not having every person's attention only focused on him at all times is a national emergency.

The great taste of Ovaltine, of course!

"Free TV" means "TV paid for with your time and attention."

Know what else pays you for your time and attention? Your job. We can quibble about how hard work it is to watch ads, but that is what's happening: you're just working, bartering and using up irreplaceable portions of your life with inevitable unavoidable ads, when you use these free TV services.

Yep. "My draconian DRM loosened the straight jacket a little."

Yayyy.

Thanks, I didn't see this, there was a different embedded FAQ that didn't have the specific Q & A below.

But, if anything, it seems to confirm the ad itself is just legitimately clicked from the user's IP address and hidden from the user, and that there is code execution protection, but not that there is any privacy protection? It's still very ambiguous.

How does AdNauseam "click Ads"?

AdNauseam 'clicks' Ads by issuing an HTTP request to the URL to which they lead. In current versions the is done via an XMLHttpRequest (or AJAX request) issued in a background process. This lightweight request signals a 'click' on the server responsible for the Ad, but does so without opening any additional windows or pages on your computer. Further it allows AdNauseam to safely receive and discard the resulting response data, rather than executing it in the browser, thus preventing a range of potential security problems (ransomware, rogue Javascript or Flash code, XSS-attacks, etc.) caused by malfunctioning or malicious Ads. Although it is completely safe, AdNauseam's clicking behaviour can be de-activated in the settings panel.
