Eh, I'm getting a bit too close to 1000 points for comfort. I hear you implode or something.

This is just absurd on its face. This kind of simplisticism is toxic af.

I would rather hear the opinion of any ignorant plebe. You'd be far more likely to hear something true.

The playground was the most glaring example that I can recall without going back. Children go into playgrounds and stay there for a period of time. Parents go there and stay to watch there children. It is a space in which people stay and do

Writer gives the right definition of liminal, and then says a bunch of extremely non-liminal spaces are liminal. There is a similar problem with the internet's obsession with the term - only the term. The internet at large also does no

Both are actually in play, but the nature of the hubris is that he thinks he can bullshit endlessly and not run out of rope at some point.

My genes are mostly Scottish, but my adoptive (ie. my real) dad is Ukrainian; make no mistake as to my sympathies in the conflict. But the problem in this particular instance is not Elon. The problem is that everyone is going along with the

This is spin. He had never enabled the internet where they asked him to; he declined to do so, which is a subtle difference, but a difference nonetheless. If you don't like a single billionaire being able to materially affect the outco

No supervillain starts as a hero. They start as a fake and are revealed.

I see the inevitable debasement of Open Source continues apace.

Seems like they keep dancing up to this in democratic countries and then back off. Presumably there is someone who understands the universe somewhere along the way who gives them a compelling warning.

Came to say this, thank you. There has been determined and successful effort to scuttle every public health initiative that was taken, so the lack of evidence proceeds from the lack of a test.

People could auto-trust those who have been trusted by those they trust; this could have a user setting deciding how many degrees of separation they are willing to trust. Everybody's public key (ie. the ability to read their signed pos

I advocate for the abolishment of capitalism, which happens every time someone sits on their ass and collects dividends. I'm willing to explore the way we would do that on a practical level, but bottom line for me, if someone is sittin

I got my first return-to-tech job by getting a CCNA and an lpic (Linux) cert. It is an excellent way to demonstrate basic competence in a way that only costs you time and the cost of the exam.

Damedable thing about it is that there's always humans around so it's actually very much the same.

I've never had an experience as smooth and easy as usenet on Free Agent as the gui client. Everything else, forums, socials, etc, contain a subset of the features in that setup.

There was a time when "Groups" was section of google search and they indexed the whole thing.

I haven't looked in a long time, but the last time I did look, there were any number of places you could connect to gratis, but which do not carry binaries groups. A non-binary usenet server is lightweight enough to run on the 80s Inte

I think you're coating your memory with a thick blanket of woke. I was also around in its heyday and the trolls were in full effect, and had already learned how to make women's lives hell. There's a newsgroup still extant whi

The spam is the biggest issue. We never solved it there, and it's only being controlled on usenet's imitators through tight control, which is not a feature of usenet. One setup I could see working is a pubkey setup where anyone wh
