  • I once installed HP shitbox printer drivers from the command line in 30 seconds, and the shitbox printer just...worked.

    My heart soared higher than the eagle. I touched the face of the one true FOSS God, and felt that thing when astronauts have epiphanies about the Earth. 10/10, would recommend.

  • Done even need that.

    I went to a rural school and every week on Tuesdays we took 10 minute shifts to go rinse our mouths with a fluoride mouth wash. 1 gallon jug with a pump and Dixie cups. Lasted most of a school year.

  • This isn't a conspiracy. This is a well known and widely touted political agenda. They have white papers on this. They give speeches about this. There's entire conferences about this, and not like PAC conferences, I mean like Network State conferences where the founder of Etherium has shifted from Seasteading 10 years ago to now wanting on land autonomous nations.

  • Not surprised at all.

  • Who wants to out down some money in when countries just stop following the Geneva Convention because it's "a regulatory burden"? Price is Right rules closest without going over.

  • Too many birds!

  • If this was a CAPCHA, I would love it.

  • The correct terminology is Internally Displaced Persons, or IDPs.

    And the US had around 2.5 million IDPs over all of 2023 as the result of natural disasters. IDPs are difficult to track as well, as it's hard to tell of someone settles somewhere new of they would still go back somewhere else or not.

  • The problem is that is much worse than bullshit, it's a death sentence.

  • Not fully, but in practice to benefit from no trade barriers. And it'll be done by 2040.

    I think what we'll get is no more singular head of state because the Unitary Executive model is a flawed premise that highlights the fragility of having only one person as the chief executive. It's a poison pill. Suggesting it is to suggest inevitable death of the Republic.

    What we'll end up with our scaled up Switzerland. An Executive Council of 5/7/9 regionally elected members, with a rotation of who is the ceremonial head of state for functions. I like 7, with more of the East Coast and Midwest consolidated.

    But whew...the constitution will need a major overhaul for that to work.

  • It's actually very interesting you brought this up:

    The Koch bro plan was what precipitated Red Stating. It's always been iffy at best because despite their dismantling efforts, they still want to try and do most of their plan legally and through "the system" so it can't seem like it can be easily undone. But the goal is to repeal the 20th century and social gains like civil rights, abortion rights, etc. But here the long term goal is to fully go back in time to 1892 to cosplay robber barons.

    The tech brologarchy version is entirely different in its final goal and process, but the interim goal of ending the Republic and repealing the 20th centrury is shared. The difference is that they want to be left alone and have islands of state-level power that they would and can project in a totally re-made world. Despite their hate of "tribalism" they want non-geographic nationality based on...well, tribaliam. All facilitated by AI and blockchain, called decentralized autonomous organizations. They want techno feudalism where they expect everyone to work at an unreasonable, manic level because that's what they do.

    In both cases, they truly, honestly believe they're fighting for the side of "good" by wanting people buying from the Praxis or Kochistan company store, working everyone to death to make them as "benevolent" god-men kings more powerful.

  • An app where all you end up recording is "Bro! Bro! Bro! Broseeeeph! Let's gooooooo, Bro!"

  • Vibecoding games about cats in HTML. All retro style, easy to play type stuff.

    Up to 5 so far.

  • Not even. Him and Elon biffed every other form of autocratic guidance that laid out steps to take.

    Cutis Yarvin is furious at how incompetent Musk and Torange have been. By 100 days in they should have been drowning journalists in foam. They haven't even hit 50% of Project 2025 progress.

    Rank amateur bitches. Can't even do authoritarianism well.

  • Elon will count that as $3.8 billon that DOGE saved.

  • This was originally marketed in 2006 as MMS, "Miracle Mineral Supplement." An insane guy named Jim Humble experimented on people in Cameroon and Uganda with this, claiming it cured literally every disease. HIV/AIDS, malaria, dengue, cancer, meningitis, you name it.

    At some point around 2016 even Humble admitted it doesn't do anything. If you've ever maintained a swimming pool you know that you add acid to the water with chlorine to activate it. It's exactly the same thing in a glass.

    While it's obviously harmful in high concentrations, ultimately, if you drink water with it, it dilutes to the point of being no more harmful than tap water from a large city. Not ideal for gut health long term, but honestly less terrible than eating breakfast cereal every day.

  • Well, to be fair it's also proof that people do not value privacy, and that the means by which actual privacy can be obtained are few and narrow.

    It also really drives home the fact that our systems of IDs, licensure, taxes, property purchase, etc. are designed for an analog 20th century world. We need new systems based on modern technology, bit not in a way that simply contracts out to the very companies that put us here.

  • I've done OSINT research and that alone converted me into a privacy advocate. Seeing how Alphabet, Meta, and MS have allowed creep to get training data... Whew. It's breathtaking and complicated beyond the ability to explain in 114 characters.

    Y'all, we are cooked. Currently. Present tense. If you aren't freaked out already, you're missing about 85% of reality.

  • He only knows what the last convincing person said to him -- IF -- IF he's had a sliver of doubt about Putin's loyalty to HIM. Putin's lack of giving T a ceasefire that T needs to appear to accomplish something does that.

    What's funny is T is literally the last person in the country to get to this realization. But hey, maybe he got there, right?
