My logic is I like the idea of an evolutionary approach. They are given a computer it has no OS on it. They are given a book on how to install an OS. Broken up into chucks first they get to a CLI based OS then GUI then the internet. Then after that a PDA then a Smart phone. Mastering one moves them to the next one.

YouTube to them is just another steaming service they watch with the family on the TV.

Social media is not banned but there is a test on why its bad and how it destroys people and warps reality. Anything Meta or Twitter is already blocked on the network anyway for everyone in the household for tracking purposes.

You make this world not worth saving.

Any 3 letter common file extension should be banned

Serious question I have always wondered how do flat earther’s explain the iron core of the earth. How think do they think the flat earth is?

Stich in time and end of the series showed that not to be true. They were on their way to rebuilding much like the Japanese did after ww2

Works great I write and read bluray discs all the time. I ripped my collection to my nas with no issues. Just have to get the keys setup.

The problem with that is AI is not AI at all. Its a text prediction and generation based on probabilities. That’s all it does it doesn’t think at all. AI is a marketing term to sucker investors. AI will happen but not with the current paradigm. Just throwing a bigger dataset just makes the illusion more convincing. Like parrot with a bigger vocabulary.

Eh I just use alt + character code to grab any symbol I want.

Its more they are about to deploy a bunch of AI written code and they don’t want anyone to know.

I mean they have to follow Ubuntu so not surprised you have Linux mint Debian Edition

Bloodline Distro I love that I’m going to start using that from now on for Debian.

That’s why face to face organizing is critical. Small groups distributed with common goal. None of that let’s change our profile pictures bullshit. Building real connections, is key. Internet activism is a lie. It is doing nothing but it makes you fill like you did something and social media companies use that to control the masses into apathy.

I’m not saying communication is not important but it will be on private point to point communication with in your local network. Also using stuff like Meshtactic or ham radios are great for emergency response. Be it natural disasters or human caused crises.

The sad thing is they don’t even have the common decency to go bust and fail. They learned from 2008 they can just have the Government/tax payer subsidize their losses. While they keep their profits.

Its what happens when you have a good demo but can’t make good on the promises you made in that demo and have no viable monetization plan.

Correct it is just surviving but its also organizing around those projects to create a community that protects the community. In turn that creates a resistance to the oppression.

This is going to sound counter Intuitive to the Emotional need for revolution. But the best way to fight back is community networks and finding what is needed by marginalized groups and create programs that help those groups and organize around that action. Also making those networks distributed so it makes it harder for Authoritarians to squash but you can still navigate between the networks to get the resources you need.

A good example of this was the breakfast programs the black panthers started. If you read how the government tried to dismantle those programs and failed. You will see how effective they can be.

That is wrong Bruce Perens was the one working at Pixar not Ian

Voodoo 3 3000 was the best GPU to this day

The old time knife gets you every time.

I miss SPARC
