It doesn't really make sense. Different memory models mean that you'd have to be running two separate OSes, not some kind of unified OS. At most they could try to cooperate over some shared channel to transfer resources back and f

Or we can take the author at his word and understand that he is part of the problem. He's still in favor of CoCs after all this, and the only example we have of a CoC he isn't in favor of is one which got applied to him... in the

The Biden campaign explicitly did not dispute that the emails are real when asked (only that the meeting mentioned in the emails took place, which is... an odd distinction). Twitter does not claim that the emails aren't real. In short,
