?? that looks like it’s misinterpreting two word fragments across the two adjacent pages. There’s a page line right down the center of that screenshot.
“…to his great astonishment, he positively observed…” “…and tradesmen who purchase our poison…”
Didn’t the Klingons kill their gods due to them being too annoying? Seems like a good decision.
Maybe we could get some open-source routers and kernel patches going to implement this instead: https://bill.herrin.us/network/ipxl.html
It’s what should’ve been done instead of IPv6 – well, maybe it’s a bit of a non-sequitur for the current problem, but it would create a different internet that maybe could be routed around the age-verified one if that comes to pass.
I posted an idea over here about a week ago, I think it might actually meet the legal requirements without any OS changes for Linux/BSD/POSIX UNIX type OSes.
I’m going to start looking into Meshtastic and Reticulum … they look pretty cool.
…because it’s not him doing it. He’s mainly a figurehead, a useful idiot. It’s the smart fascists around him and behind him. Peter Thiel, Roger Stone, Russ Vought, Stephen Miller, Mitch McConnell, etc. etc. and basically all the Christian Nationalists and White Supremacists who’ve been working for over 30-40 years to chip away at and infiltrate every US institution. It took a long time, but they worked patiently to reach the point where this was possible.
I have not tried any of the others, but I expect the enshittification / monetization trend would be the same, yeah. :(
Welcome to everyone’s world who has a Google Home device… yanked functionality, stupider responses than when it first shipped. Sigh.
Just as offensive, since he is not one. What an ass. (Edit – and BS, he knew damn well what it looked like.)
I know, that’s not right. Just feels a bit hopeless sometimes knowing the big corps still churn out bad stuff while we are told to be so eco-conscious…
Now I’m grumpy since I haven’t had my morning coffee yet, but …
At this point in my life, I feel approximately zero guilt for my consumption in day-to-day life. The fact that plastic recycling has turned out to be ‘guilt-washing’ intentionally marketed as effective when it is not, and that the fossil fuel industry is in fact planning to RAMP UP plastic production (to compensate for future lowered fossil fuel for vehicles), and the fact that most pollution (like 70%) is done by industry, not individuals…
Force the externalities back onto the CORPORATIONS. Make them pay for the lifecycle of their products, instead of telling us that we somehow are the problem. Make them pay for clear-cutting by making it so expensive that it’s not viable compared to responsible managed forestry, with proper diverse tree-planting instead of monocultures. Fine them into oblivion if they clear an entire hillside, causing erosion and flooding.
Now I’m still going to recycle my plastic like a chump, because I’d feel bad if I didn’t, but it won’t make a difference. Nor will stopping use of wood pellets, since the vast majority of the damage is done by irresponsible logging by big corporations and our governments who won’t lift a finger to stop them.
Neat, thanks. I have thought someone must have invented something like this; I might try them.
That makes total sense! Duh. Had not considered that.
I agree. We’ve had sheets that supposedly fit a queen size, but are infuriatingly “just shy” of fitting without bending up the freaking corners of the mattress and forcing them over – only for another corner to pop off. I recently threw a set in the trash out of rage… maybe they shrunk slightly in washing, I dunno but there should be some extra size to compensate for this. I don’t need to bounce a damn coin off of my bed.
Good. This shows plainly how LLMs don’t think, don’t truly understand anything, and have no critical ability to do introspection or fact-checking. It seems the only way to teach the world of these things is to make it impossible to ignore via absurd demonstrations like this. If the “AI” well must be poisoned in order to wake people up, I’m all for it.
Yes, of course they do matter. But the point is, Drumpf does think of them as nothing more than a useful distraction. He doesn’t care.
Wonder if the frogs are finally noticing how hot that water’s getting.
This time, I’m not so inclined to be sympathetic to anyone considering entering Canada to dodge the draft. Americans need to face their oppressors, or the whole world keeps suffering.
LeMarchand dice?
Oh god I’m old
