Amazes me the number of people who cry foul when something like this occurs. “Waaa censorship! This is evil! The internet is collapsing! Omg!” 1. Archive.org probably has just disallowed access. Not outright purged. 2. Shit drops off the in

This is why anything remotely “smart” that I own and use can be self managed. Relying on the “cloud” and longevity of companies is asking for years. I hate that crap.

You know why? Because of fearmongering, redtape, and utter bullshit detractors every step of the way. Nuclear power could be cheap and pervasive and safe and clean. But noooooo. We have had decades of bullshit from people who barely got t

The amount of seemingly pro-religious chatter in here is really surprising to me. I grew up in essentially a cultish variation of southern Baptist and have extensive experience with other denominations of “Christianity” and there is no way
