**FOX News Special Report: Alderaan Destroyed—Emperor Trump Responds to Rebel Threat ** In a decisive move aimed at quelling a growing rebellion, the Empire today confirmed the destruction of the planet Alderaan, a Core World long suspected of harboring anti-government extremists. The response, authorized under the leadership of Emperor Donald J. Trump, marks what Imperial officials are calling a “necessary and proportionate show of strength” in the face of escalating terrorist threats.
White House equivalent officials aboard the Galactic Capitol Starcruiser said Alderaan’s destruction via the Empire’s new defensive installation—the Death Star—was “not taken lightly.” Grand Moff Tarkin, speaking on behalf of Emperor Trump, called Alderaan “a hub of insurgent activity, fake news proliferation, and anti-Imperial propaganda.”
“Alderaan was warned. The Rebels were warned. And yet, they chose to test us,” Tarkin stated. “Thanks to Emperor Trump’s bold leadership, peace and order are being restored to the galaxy.”
**Conservative Reaction Praises Trump’s Resolve ** Imperial Senate Republicans, though now largely ceremonial under Trump’s streamlined executive rule, praised the move. “This shows the galaxy that lawlessness will not stand,” said former Senator Gorran Vale (R-Corellia). “Under Emperor Trump, we are no longer appeasing anarchists. We are protecting hard-working star citizens.”
FOX News political analyst Kayla Deen noted, “For years, Alderaan’s elites flaunted their liberal values, resisted Imperial policies, and even funded Rebel operations. Emperor Trump promised to bring law and order back to the galaxy, and today, he delivered.”
Democrats and Alien-Sympathizers Decry Action
Predictably, fringe left-wing groups and alien rights activists across the Outer Rim immediately condemned the action. The Rebellion, officially labeled a terrorist organization by the Empire, issued an unverified statement claiming Alderaan was a peaceful planet with no weapons. Experts at the Trump Imperial Policy Institute dismissed the claims as “Rebel disinformation.”
Former Senator Mon Mothma, now in hiding, accused the Empire of “committing genocide.” In response, White House Comms Officer Jerrek Dalton told FOX News, “She’s been on the wrong side of history for years. This is about security, not politics.”
**A Stronger, Safer Galaxy ** Imperial markets responded positively to the display of power, with starship stocks rising 4.3% in late Coruscant trading. Citizens across the Mid Rim reportedly welcomed the message of order. One citizen on Naboo, speaking anonymously, said, “It’s about time someone stood up to these entitled planets that think they’re above the law.”
While critics continue to push back, Emperor Trump remains unfazed. In a brief holonet transmission, he declared, “We are making the Empire great again. One rebel world at a time.”
Stay tuned to FOX Galactic News for continuing fair and balanced coverage of the Rebellion, Imperial security, and Emperor Trump’s efforts to restore greatness to the galaxy

Because that’s the normal way in which humans communicate.
But for Google more specifically, that sort of keyword prompts is how you searched stuff in the '00s… Nowadays the search prompt actually understands natural language, and even has features like “people also ask” that are related to this.
All in all, do whatever works for you, it’s just that asking questions isn’t bad.

You’re utterly delusional. If this system has done anything is to stiffle small, independent producers and consolidate power in megacorporations.
This is the kind of crap you’re defending: patents.justia.com/patent/12268585
This is a random, recent patent from P&G. Read that bullshit, and then tell if if what they’re describing isn’t the most generic design for a diaper or sanitary napkin ever?
“One permeable layer facing the wearer, then a semipermeable layer that tries to only allow liquid to move away from the wearer, then an absorbing layer, then an outer impermeable layer”
Oh boy, if it wasn’t for that patent, I’d be pumping 500 million dollars into building a factory so I can flood the market with my cheap fake products! - said nobody when they read that.
It’s hilarious how far removed from reality your ideal of patents is…
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
it costs millions of dollars to get a manufacturing process up and running and in a good enough state to where it can actually work out financially. Without patents, your competitor can just take all of that work and investment and just copy it with the benefit of doing it right the first time, so they’re able to undercut you on cost.
This argument makes no sense. Manufacturing lines are built all that time for unpatented products, plus a competitor can’t just “take all of that work and investment”, they will need to put in money to create their own product, even if it’s a copy they still need to make it work, as well as build their own production capacity.
They’ll be second to market, and presumably need to undercut price to get market share… This is a very risky endeavour, unless the profit margins are huge, and in which case, good thing that there’s no patents…
If the research is so costly and complex (pharmaceutical, aeronautical,…), then it should be at least partly funded by the government, through partnerships between universities and companies.
Patents are not a solution.

- Comment on Open letter: ~100 EU companies urge EU lawmakers to take “radical action” to shrink the reliance on foreign infrastructure by fostering a so-called “Euro stack”. 1 month ago:
As a software house, running our own infrastructure would be a nightmare in so many ways… Just thinking of all the hardware that needs to be deployed, and how many sites worldwide we’d need just to provide the same level of service we have now, and then being able to scale up massively during peak time but have all that capacity go to waste during low season, then dedicated teams on all sites to handle emergencies 24/7, the massive loses of revenue anytime the services are down…
“Just in-house it” is definitely not the answer, there’s a reason AWS makes so much money.

This is surprisingly myopic from someone who supposedly works in the field.
Where do your full stack applications run, my friend?
Because unless you’re in China or Russia, the answer is either AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Nobody is looking to reinvent the wheel. The call is for the EU to invest heavily in infrastructure, like building its own chips, creating its own data centres, and yes, developing its software industry to provide alternatives to all the proprietary/closed stuff.

That’s not what this is, and even then, that competition wasn’t even good. You had two countries hoarding technological advancements for themselves, with everything having to be discovered twice.
This is a worldwide collaboration, where each assists the others, and it’s a much better way of making progress. See ITER.
