It doesn’t actually make you right-wing, I’m just kidding around - as someone who has broken more than my fair share of ethically sourced bamboo shoe spoons, now replaced with a metal one, I am fully taking the piss. But, it’s more that I c

I’ve heard it around in various forms, but this is my version. Thanks.

I don’t really understand what you’re saying, could you expand on it? MWVCE is a private event, the organizers can set the policy at the door - are you saying that folks were not willing to comply with the policies? What triggered the comp

There is a fine line, I agree - but I prefer to ask for forgiveness than permission when taking photo’s in public. A society which censors the public sphere, endangers the public. It’s a double-edged sword, and photography - like many techn

Yes but why flag it?

CCC is a private event and does not fall within the purview of the right to public photography. Anyway, I don’t go to CCC to take pictures of people - although this is an unfortunate policy because it means that the culture of CCC is not re

Yes indeed, there is an undercurrent of this culture still lurking in the shadows. I think it’s a consequence of the architecture, personally. Germans aren’t actually used to having a lot of privacy - I often cringe when I hear my neighbor

I’ve been a hacker since the Cap’n Crunch days, I’ve been involved with many hackerspaces around the world, used to sit at the pay phones in Union Station waiting for distant calls, some forgotten first Friday of the month .. and all I can

Don’t use political violence, intimidation, and domestic terror. Use your democracy while you still can.

Indeed, it may be too late for you to do anything effective about it. What the war criminals that have run your country for decades have done to other nations, they are now going to do to yours. Protest, inform yourself, demand that your pe

Then do something about it - inform yourself about the other days. The USA has been dropping bombs on innocent people on average for the past 25 years every 15 minutes . The only force capable of reining in the US’ out of control military

I’ve seen a not insignificant number of German hackers move to the US to build startups though, just sayin’. Also, Austrians. Come to think of it, I should find out their kettles IP addresses…

by MomsAVoxell 12d ago
Yeah, that is the sad state of things, if you think about it. Even your kettle wants to enforce digital tyranny on you. That is a very dire kind of utopia. I mean, who else likes the idea of warming up the kettle at the appropriate point i

I wanna do all of the above, to the extent that a few sessions a week can be had, and yeah, my existing multi-monitor rig allows for a degree of MFD integration, with lots of controls (faderfoxes repurposed for it) alongside an admittedly k

Yes, I would probably try to do some kind of "point webcam at HOTAS" hack to try to obviate this hassle, at least until I get the muscle memory really nailed.

I want this for one reason and one reason only: DCS. Anyone know how well it works/doesn't work yet? I've waited for years to get a VR heads for DCS (its a flight simulator folks) .. and now, maybe, this is it.

1) Its no myth, but you can definitely foot-bullet into doing it wrong, and 2) it's a far better path to take than in-app telemetry.

At some point I wonder where and when AI will just be taken as a means of exfiltration of knowledge from the traditional cathedrals/bazaars/silos - I mean, obviously, the more that knowledge is shared the more valuable it becomes

That is indeed a tantalizing eventuality which we may one day discover .. imagine the things they could do if they start teaching future generations of octopus how to deal with things! Another of my favorite octopus facts, is the existence

Its one thing to not trust ones government. Its another to do something truly effective about it. Alas, the American people seem to be utterly paralyzed. Catatonic, even. When all it really needs is civic responsibility and an understand
