Why is that? The planet will be fine without us. It will probably be better off without us.

I should buy another gun.

I don’t keep up with the beliefs of primitive religious cults. I just know she was Shaker by how she dressed. We have Shakers, Mennonites, and Amish in my area. I know which ones I won’t be buying produce from going forward.

I already have. Long before the threat of tariffs. I shop thrift stores, yard sales, and social media markets. I go to electronics recyclers and find perfectly good laptops that just need an OS installed.

I’ve had the same phone since 2017, and the same car for 10+ years, neither of which were new when I got them.

Yeah, that’s a great move. 🙄 Meanwhile, I saw a member of the Shaker community walking into Kroger with full blown measles rash.

That only works until they find a leftist who is armed and fed up with their shit. Then they take the pine box challenge.

What’s a good VPN service? Is Proton still good?

Last I heard, torrents would leak your actual IP. Has that been fixed?

AI has already stolen everyone’s work. The internet is officially a free for all.

Is it wrong to hope it hits the specific city I live in? 😅

Just those crotchety old timers who currently gatekeep the code base.

I borrow them from my library through the Libby and Hoopla apps. If I want to support the author, I’ll buy a copy through some other means. Directly from them, if possible.

We’ve already seen a few crotchety old timers who don’t want to add rust to the Linux kernel.

At some point, a complete rewrite of the kernel in a memory safe language would be prudent. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs will have to go extinct before that can happen.

I’m the last person to ask. Reddit banned my email and devices after I posted that “If you have the opportunity to punch a Nazi, you should ALWAYS punch the Nazi.”

Except that hard wood has long since turned into coal.
