It really hurts to see what a dumpster fire the internet of today is compared to the 90s or even the Web 2.0 days. There are some things we have now like Anna's Archive that are gems, and I'm sure a number of other hidden gems out

"I am not decreeing anything," he said, as he attempts to argue me into the grave concerning the definition of the words "crime" and "law." As if the tyrant's definition should be the only definition and G

I think it's incredible to see the potential that is still locked up in old hardware. For example the 8088 MPH demo. Amazing what he was able to do with an 8088 and CGA. All this time the hardware had that potential, but it took decade

You don't get to decree whatever it is that you like and then call it "law". If a "law" is un-Constitutional, as most US "laws" are--or in violation of the highest laws of the Universe (the Laws of Nature)

1) Gabe's a front man. He doesn't run Valve. 2) New Zealand is a favorite place for Western apparatchiks to build their bunkers. They don't move there out of a love for Kiwi culture and desire to integrate with the locals. Mu

I make it a point to keep a healthy distance between myself and Imperial Officials. During any unavoidable interaction with Imperial Officials, I always pretend subservience and submission. I am aware that many others do also. The result is

They assume everything is illegal and self police because that's what the tyrant programmed them to do. Same effect in HN comments also. Many people hold back from expressing their real views here because they are afraid to run afoul o

On the other side of the coin, they also punish people who have slow connections. The acceptable speed for downloading from github on my connection is 90k/sec. No more, no less. Something prevents the rate from being higher (probably G

In a "existential war" type situation, people who don't wave the flag and shout the slogans of their "home" country and have known sympathies for other places (any at all) will automatically be suspect, and their na

Murder some foreigner at the behest of your empire and they'll call you a hero and pin shiny medals to your chest. Kill the guy who ordered you to murder the foreigner and they'll call you a murderer and feel self-righteous when t

At least 80-90% of US laws are in fact un-Constitutional. Furthermore, any secular law that is in conflict with the laws of God (laws of Nature) is immoral, and therefore null and void. So the War on Drugs for example and all of the "l

So your conclusion is that very wealthy individuals do not own and control Vanguard--they have nothing to do with it at all--that it's collectively owned by the rabble--and all is well as we little people have everything in control via

If for example Russia and China together controlled a certain resource, then from the standpoint of the USA, Russia/China have a monopoly on that resource. Doesn't matter if Russia and China are in theory two different countries.

The cloud always seemed foolish to me. A company's computers and the data they contain are one of its most critical resources. For an IT company it's everything. To put that anywhere other than one's own secured datacenter is

So if I invest my meager peasant earnings in Vanguard funds, my holdings are considered equally as important as the Rockefellers? And it was the solving of this alignment problem that attracted all the Rockefellers, Whitneys, Vanderbilts, e

Probably from all the consolidation. In the USA there used to be hundreds of companies supplying various industries. Now there's generally 2-5, and they all have the same shareholders. BlackRock Vanguard State Street Northern Trust etc

Which imperial power do you suppose it was who quietly took over ThePirateBay and major trackers and now uses them for that exact purpose, as one of their many tools to create botnets that are then used to attack Western sites, helping to d

The people pulling the strings behind all this do indeed have a clear understanding or ability to clearly think through the implementation and consequences of said implementation. They know exactly what they're doing and why.

Lots of teenagers were using it back then judging by the old themes, 95% of which suck. As an adult I made a simple, attractive theme, enabled only the most basic and useful eye candy, and just use it. None of the other alternatives interes

To put a finer point on it: running bleeding edge does not just now have implications of a greater attack surface, it always has had such implications. It's just that a tiny fragment of people are suddenly becoming aware of this fa

But it is light weight. Fabulously so. The "bling" just comes from the ability to write theme files to customize the appearance of window decorations and menus. IIRC it was a fork of fvwm from way back in the day, and similarities
