  • A pardon for a price? How Donald Trump has reimagined presidential clemency

    Jump

  • Lol right? Everywhere we look, there's volumes of "rules and norms" that would see us insta-fired and jailed if violated. Plenty of actions we could take would put us at the mercy of countless authorities and perhaps rightly ruin our lives.

    But gee if you go high enough, the consequences are apparently just:

    "Egad! Oh dear, how uncouth! Somebody should do something! Sir! We unfortunately feel forced to inform you that we find this behavior most distasteful! Excuse me sir are you listening? We disapprove, I say! We wag our fingers, sir!"

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

    Jump

  • "Oh look, someone is coming to help!"

  • The US government will not stop sharing Nazi propaganda

    Jump

  • worked to simultaneously make fascism cool

    Y'know I cringe so hard now at that whole humorous "Muricah" stereotype. You know, gun-nut, God and Country, Reagan was so great, filthy commies blah blah blah. Always with a wry chuckle....it used to be a funny ironic schtick...Colbert parodied it really well.

    ...Except it's hitting hard and fast that it wasn't a schtick and no small percentage of people adopted it in all seriousness.

    (Like how many people didn't understand the Space Marine fascism in 40k was supposed to be over the top parody.)

  • "Oh, you mean ¿death panels‽ Where a bunch of faceless, soulless bureaucrats decide whether you're worth saving or not? You know, completely unlike the wonders of profiteer healthcare!"

  • The US government will not stop sharing Nazi propaganda

    Jump

  • That's so freaking terrifying to think about.

    But we're seeing it here too: People seeing their neighbors dragged away, and they will do any mental gymnastics necessary to separate themselves from the victims instead of defending or even standing with them.

  • Tesla owner blocked the Toronto Streetcar

    Jump

  • And risk damaging the streetcar?

    I imagine if a kampfwagen gets bumped by just about anything, the biggest hazard would be random stainless steel and plastic litter all over the street.

    There's also a non-zero chance it will just go critical and set itself ablaze. XD

  • What would you want done with your remains upon death?

    Jump

  • LMAO I used to joke about the same thing, but the cannon was pointed upwards at a random trajectory instead. For the luls. 😂

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

    Jump

  • Check your local library to see if they have access to the Kanopy streaming service. It's a bit of everything, but lots of top-notch documentaries on there!

  • Lol! Source is like the second to last paragraph of "Prologue."

    A ton of Linux usage involves the direct or indirect management and commanding of daemons, too. <_<

    I think we cracked it: Linux is free and open sourcery. XD

    Lol I'm really curious about the etymology behind all these computing terms now!

    I wouldn't be surprised to find out something like "kernels and shells" was a historically common analogy though.

    Jump

  • That IS a fun fact. Super cool!

    Hah, reading the introduction to this book out of curiosity...

    ...And he through the council of a certain angel whose name was Hocroel, did write seven volumes of art magic, giving to us the kernel, and to others the shells.

  • Oh we've got bots for every vice and deadly sin now, taking after their creators.

    Kinda neat that for now, we've found a way to Dr. Strange mirror-dimension them for the time being. I hope those techniques proliferate quickly.

    I don't care what the "commercial net" does at this point. I just want the indie web to survive.

  • "You're absolutely right! First, make sure the glue is all natural. You can also enjoy some very small rocks as well, to supplement essential minerals! Yum!"

    Lol

    Always fun when crafting time can be snacking time. XD

  • I dare say it, too. I really liked that era. Win7 was cool, the gaming division's aesthetic and marketing were cool. Original X-Box? Man that was a JAM.

    I mean, part of it was just being young and naive too I guess, because I have plenty of memes from the '95 era about how evil Gates was/is. (Internet Explorer was a hot button topic back then!)

    But also I think the landscape was competing for favor of the users (however underhandedly as usual) rather than how the landscape is now: Where end users are more of an afterthought and now it's all just about farming users while billionaires pass money back and forth.

    EDIT: I was already maining Linux by then, but Microsoft definitely hit my shitlist when they decided to just paperweight WMR devices entirely. Screw them.

  • There is a reason no one installs Windows patches on day 1.

    I love how they earned this reputation, so rather than repair that reputation, the next move was to force update their users whether they like it or not.

    I remember working in environments where management had decreed that we would not install updates ever. . .

    That's...definitely a decision that puts a lot of trust in Microsoft's security. Lol

    Windows Update: Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

  • Father faces no charges for fatally shooting daughter after fight about Donald Trump

    Jump

  • I am baffled at how this doesn't constitute premeditated murder. They had some argument and then guy's like "know what? I know what I'm gonna do." And did it. What freaking horror.

  • Father faces no charges for fatally shooting daughter after fight about Donald Trump

    Jump

  • Then he ought to be put down, for his daughter's honor.

    We've officially reached a place where cyberspace is beginning to look like communing with the arcane. Lol
