making sure to escalate things that will affect tens of millions of people because you don’t want to end up in court – and I don’t say this lightly – is straight-up evil.

Very true.

What is with this end-times porn?

I really wish people who believe in such nonsense would be shunned by society at large. These people are divorced from rationality, reality, and reason.

To be honest, most of the internet is dead anyway.

The good stuff is here in the Fediverse and there are a few havens out there where people can come together.

I can’t touch sugar alcohols.

If I even look at them, I’ll spend the next week on the toilet.

I have to avoid a lot of the low fat/low carb foods because they use this. Also almost anything sweetened with monkfruit has this in it.

As a descendant of Powhatan, I feel like I should call and report every white person I come across.

It’s my understanding that X.org has some fundamental security issues that can’t be fixed. Is that correct?

The major hurdle to that here are Republicans and their corporate masters.

I love giving old hardware a new life.

Once I’ve finished tinkering, and if it’s fully functional, I give them to poor families who can’t afford to buy a laptop for their kids.

Sadly, there are a lot of those here in Appalachia.

We former military have ways of dealing with enemies of the state.

I’ll make Debian servers out of recycle your old intel Macs for you! Just pay to ship them to me. 🥰

No, I didn’t.

I use an anonymous YT client, and wasn’t aware it did that.

I want an eye replacement with a few extra opsins options, and some EM sense like what birds have

That’s possible, but our brains haven’t evolved to interpret anything outside of the visible spectrum.

Hypothetically, we could guide human evolution by introducing such tech into newborn babies for several generations.

If the aluminum is old, it formas a patina of aluminum hydroxide/aluminum hydride/aluminium oxide that stabilizes it somewhat.

People often don’t know - because water autoionizes, it is both an acid and a base. This is why so many things can readily dissolve in it.

I miss glass bottles of coke.

They’re still available, but mainstream supermarkets don’t tend to carry them as much.

I wonder if this is related to GNU Taler?

My brain sees theme and wallpaper interchangeably. Sorry, fixed it.
