Idk if this is TV tho. I think consildiation did a lot of this work. Like radio shows are too regionally huge now. Imagine you had a radio station that both played decent music and it was based in your specific neighborhood/town. It kept you up to date on cool stuff going on there. That would actually be useful to tune in to from time to time. But now its just “that city within 50 miles of me”. Small town radio died.

I prefer it personally. I’m not a fan of games where combat is decided by reaction times and is high energy. I prefer to use proper preparation and strategy to win fights. And turn based is best for that. I’m also not a fan of “dice roll” style game mechanics for the same reason. Like Fallout New Vegas’s speech system > Fallout 3’s speech system. Because its based on a set skillcheck instead of a dice roll adjusted by your skill.

I’m partial to Quod Libet myself.

One of my favorite passtimes is going on a chatbot and asking it really out of left field questions. “Last night while I was sleeping I was woken up to my neighbor making fried eggs in my kitchen. The eggs were pretty good, but I’m concerned how he got inside. Do you know what seasonings he might have used on the egg? It was green.”

Democratic Candidate: I am Adolf Hitler.

Democratic Voters: I can’t believe you won’t vote for them! Lesser of two evils guys cmon! It’s common sense.

“Stop lovingly handcrafting all of our code and use ai more”

For a company that is supposed to be all about security/privacy basically saying “Stop worrying so much about the quality of our code” is something else.

Yeah to put that in perspective I just checked and spot-dl an extremely well known and popular spotify downloader utility that is many years old has 26k. Thousands of stars is hard to get. it’s github not facebook.

Yeah it gets odder the more you look at it. It’s a very new repo and apparently got 4k stars. And a few days ago it had half that. It also has 400+ forks for some reason. Then you’ve got like really detailed proposals being put into issues by accounts like this: https://github.com/shadikiwan which have literally no activity after 2024 until now.

This is what was posted by that account: https://github.com/interplains/Zero-Breach-Toolkit/issues/23

It’s formatted cleanly, almost as if an AI made it.

3 contributors to the project but basically everything is the one main account. https://github.com/interplains which has not done anything on github this year until a few days ago when this whole thing started to be put out there.

This is really new, and has a weird pace of development that makes me suspect it is vibe coded. I also doubt its code has actually been audited despite being open source. So while an interesting project I would not run this on your devices atleast as of yet.

I actually didn’t know that that’s interesting. Definitely something I’d mention to your daughter when you guys chat. Also, if he’s comfortable with it, I’d reccomend arranging an in person meeting with her and Kevin. It could help her to actually look into the eyes of the person whose life you’re going to save. Even if they’ve met plenty of times before. Just all 3 of you sit down and chat. Not about the surgery but just in general.

I think you need to realize her concerns are entirely valid. Everything could go great and you could both have 1 working kidney then live long lives after. You could die on the table. You could give him your kidney and then 10 years from now your remaining one has an issue and then your on dialysis. etc. Your daughter is not wrong to be scared/concerned. You are not wrong to want to help your friend. Both of you have valid feelings about this. You just need to talk about them. In person preferably. Not over an email. Explain to her why doing this is so important to you. Make plans for what happens if the worst outcome happens. You need to seriously ask yourself: “Will my family be okay if I die on the table?” before you go do it. Because if the answer is no and you haven’t considered that yet it’s something you need to think about.

I hope everything goes well and you help your friend and both of you are fine. But I also hope you go into this understanding your daughters concerns, and being fully aware of all the risks.

acid free archival paper. archival ink. Even non archival books can last quite awhile I personally own a book that is over 120 years old. Don’t sleep on books.

Well I didn’t do it because I thought it would be a popular decision. So I’m not surprised you and many others don’t like that I did. Gosh, maybe if I’d voted for Kid Killer Kamala instead she’d have won and we’d have a girl boss president right now! Too bad I’m never gonna do that. You just need to realize that I do not have the same goals as you. Maybe theres some minor overlap on social issues, but those are hardly the thing I care about most.

but this garbage that they violently cut loose is insane.

I’m starting to think you non-americans are just unaware of what America is like. Nothing I said is abnormal for an American. Going Skeetshooting, going to the range, etc are all normal activities that millions of Americans do regularly. If you own a gun and don’t practice with it then that’s just irresponsible. Not a single thing I said is illegal to do, or violent. That is just your own fantasy. And the idea that your going to do a “national peaceful shutdown” and that’s not going to be met with mass violence, at which point you will need the people who weren’t so naive to come protect you, is hilarious btw.

I’m butthurt? You seem a lot more upset about this than I am. I literally told you to do whatever you want, but you can’t handle the fact I’m not gonna vote for your democrats lol. I wish I was a foreign asset. Then I wouldn’t have to live in this shit hole of a country. But yes, everyone who disagrees with you is a bot. Good job. You figured it out. Bee-boop. Em-Dash. etc.

So basically you can’t handle the idea that there are people who don’t think voting is going to make a difference? Even when i say to do it if you want to? I’m not telling people not to vote. I’m just saying my opinion on it. And then on the guns thing you say basically exactly what I said verbatim but then act like your version is the more reasonable and mine is somehow “violent” in a way yours isn’t. Like what do you think “protecting yourself” in a worst case scenario would look like? It would look like a civil war. Do you have some fantasy that you’d somehow just be going it alone like rambo and wouldn’t need to pick a side? What exactly do you take issue with in regards to guns that I was saying?

And I don’t really see your let’s all hold hands and sing kumbayah until everything is fixed schtick as all that lovely either. The idea that we’re just going to have the entire working class united against capitalists is an ahistorical fantasy. There will be brownshirts, and whites, and counter revolutionaries.

So… it depends. If it’s a normal laptop I’m not SUPER interested in it but don’t hate it. I do use the track pad a lot so if that was messing up I could use the touch screen. But normally I won’t use it in laptop mode. The depends is a 2 in 1. If I can flip it over and use it as a tablet I will do that. How nice it is depends on software tho in that case. A nice gesture based experience like Gnome would be great. But I doubt I’d enjoy doing that on windows. I haven’t used windows in years but I imagine a touchscreen on it would be not very intuitive.

So the Framework Pro 13 annoys me since it can’t flip all the way around. I actually am considering making a cyberdeck with an existing framework 13 mainboard I have and a framework pro screen and making it into a tablet form factor but nice and thick with plenty of ports and maybe a CD player. I’d love something like that.

I wouldn’t categorize neo nazis as regular people personally, but to each their own. My point though was that if the state’s monopoly on violence ever truly falters then the racist down the street who has an AR can suddenly go fufill has fantasies. And the only thing that would stop him/her (probably him) is a Black Panther like organization that is also armed.

I voted for PSL. I don’t vote for democrats tho.
