3 days agoI had a three year bender with OpenBSD back in 2001-2003 or so. I even started building my own kernels and doing a tiny bit of hacking on the code. There’s all kinds of interesting tools and systems out there if you start exploring.

223·6 days ago… For now. It won’t be long, though. I have friends who will have their marriages annulled by these fascists all too soon.Derp. The firehouse of shit coming down my US feed got me not catching this one is in India.
I’d just read a prior one about cases moving the US to strike our marriage equality rulings. That’ll be coming by for us very soon.
9·8 days agoMake sure the tugging device is called a group leader for the cars acting as “pods”.
But given how cars steer, we’ll need some kind of automatic guidance system to keep them in line. Maybe with AI?
The hierarchy concept is exactly the framework the conservative mindset is based upon. The original idea was for it to be about fighting (war, duels, etc), but as civilization progressed they had to settle for money as a scoreboard.
There’s a great video series on this from Innuendo Studios: https://youtu.be/agzNANfNlTs
This is great work by the city leadership. It’s taken decades to get this system in place and the city sorely needs it.
Congestion charges work. It’s not a new thing nor an untried approach to mitigating extreme congestion from unfettered use of the city streets.
The weird part about all of this, to me anyway, is that tools and congestion charges are very much an economic and Libertarian style solution, but strangely conservatives often fight them tooth and nail. Isn’t their whole schtick that the market driven solutions are best? The city owns the streets. The use of the streets are in high demand. So, the city puts a price on a resource. That’s just econ basics.
It’s so they can look cool and make it harder to tell when right wingers actually execute terroristic efforts. It’s a way to muddy the waters and reduce the impact of the term in the future.
Cars are dangerous in general. They’re explosive, fires, impacts, poisoning, dementia-causing, environmentally disastrous, and the #3 reason US adults die (direct causes, with many other indirect contributions to other categories). But Tesla has done a pretty good job of mediocre build quality across the board so extending that experience to their batteries isn’t unreasonable.
Given time they’ll either disabuse us all of the impression or not.
It sounds like you want to bring Sorcerer Linux back.
The packages were kept in the Grimore and you cast spells to build, install, etc.

It was a very early source-based distro.
The US has fucked up Central America for a century now. They know what it means to let us do what we like to enrich our corporations at their expense.
Canada and Europe are still in denial at just how evil the US can be when we’re led by a corporate stooge and populist “fuck the world” attitudes.
The rest of the world might need to bring the US to heel. We’re exporting hate and racism as a means to build fascist states around the world. Our rich are so rich and protected by the US military that they are becoming untethered from all remaining constraints about law and sovereignty for other countries.
Here be dragons.
The NYPD spent 10’s of millions chasing turn style jumpers on the NY Metro in one year. They recovered around $100k in citations doing it. It’s not about financial sense when it comes to oppressing the poor.
Now, when the USPS can’t “turn a profit” we’ll have to immediately destroy it, of course! That also helps bring equity to our society so it needs to go.
Nothing for the conservative is about helping. It’s all about preserving the hierarchy and hurting people who aren’t rich to begin with.
It’s all about the insider trading for the big bucks.
So after years of “cartels this and cartels that. Immigrants are bringing the drugs!” It once again turns out to be corporations killing us for a profit.
Surprise! It’s unbridled capitalism that’s destroying your life. (Well, not really a surprise at this point unless you’re a complete idiot.)
So… our children could be in school and ICE officers push through the door to their classroom, snag a classmate, and haul them out in handcuffs?
Yup, we’re headed to quite the terrorist government approach to a republic.
Hey look! Let’s just raise a huge middle finger to what’s left of our ecosystems.
How did it go? Yes, humanity was destroyed, but for one moment we maximized profits!
Dictators love elections as long as they decide who votes and who counts the votes.
They’re hoping the humanizing also protects their CEO, who is a different variation of corrupt and harmful to society.
We had a similar issue back in 2004 or so. Downloading a browser (Mozilla) was a bout 40MB. Normally it took about 30 seconds to pull it down on our University Internet. Then one day we were setting up systems and every time we clicked the download button nothing seemed to happen.
Further inspection showed that it had many successful download in under 1 second each. Our IT network team got us linked up to Internet2. It was able to download so fast that the bottleneck was the IDE bus of about 40MB/s. The file was coming from Intel over I2 so we couldn’t even see it download before it was done.
