I was listening to NPR the other day and they had a piece about how the individual can do their part reducing carbon emissions by not eating so much meat. The interviewee went into the amount of resources that go into supporting a diet with

Have you driven around town at noon? That’s when kids were getting out of school pre-pandemic. I just read this morning Kansas is so desperate for substitute teachers that they’ll take on teenagers without a single college credit. The publi

It’s ironic that a lot of their approval process amounts to filling out paperwork without any verification or testing on their part. Source: I know people.

Moxie Marlinspike had a good take on this, specifically about NFTs being a blockchain with a web link to the “asset”. Whoever controls the server (or DNS) controls the “asset”. If I was to seriously entertain the notion of NFTs I’d at least

A lot of the criticisms I’m seeing here are how you approach your todo list. If you look at it as a script for your whole life of course it’s going to fail, you’ll spend more time setting it up and consulting it than doing anything with it,

Same. I don’t even use syntax highlighting anymore. It changes how you focus. Not sure how people put up with all that powerline stuff either, or multi-line PS1s that have shit on either side. Reminds me of geocities.

+1 for Room with a View. Actually all of EM Forster is great.

I really wish someone like System76 would take this concept farther, like a HappyHacking style keyboard layout, no fan, no trackpad (clit mouse OK), and a focus on durability and repairability. IP67/68 would be cool. Sell the low specs

I didn’t understand what ‘classic’ meant until I read Jane Austen, her stuff still feels fresh today. If you haven’t read Pride and Prejudice, I highly recommend it - there’s a lot of perspective to be gained about people there that’s relev

Entertainment industry legal shit is beyond stupid. I’ve heard of one person’s pirated music and movie collection that exceeded the GDP of most first world countries, going by the numbers the industry gets awarded in civil suits. They liter

Imagine China going internet-nuclear and releasing the browsing history of most Americans for the last N years as a giant torrent or searchable webpage, tied to names, accounts, spouses and addresses.

Too lazy to internet search, can you apply a restraining order to an organization?

It’s simple, get rid of qualified immunity. Set reasonable standards and hold them personably and financially responsible when they deviate. And while I’m on my internet soapbox, civil asset forfeiture laws gotta go too. That shit is plain

What’s the story, some pot grower in the early 2000’s with two plants was busted with $10m+ of street value product? After they weighed the plants, soil, roots and container of course. Minimum life sentence too, probably.

Same with port knocking. It has a practical purpose, but idiots will have it lull them into a false sense of security.

SSH should be a part of any high school (and middle school) CS class. For a young teen, it was perfect for learning the basics of general security practices and provided a pretty quick and fun way to do neat things with computers from a dis

The Blackwing 602’s are pricey but I like them. Good lead, doesn’t squeak or smudge, really. Not too hard but not too soft.

I gotta say the situation in politics in the US is so rancorous that no person with two brain cells to rub together would go into it unless they’re a pig that likes to wrestle in shit; who wants to go into that mess? Even Bernie gave into t

Yeah right after all their bullshit perf metric shenanigans there’s no way I’m going to believe it on face value. How much longer have they been doing this than Crapple, and they think this is something to brag about? It’s 2004 all over aga

I’m late to the party here, but I’ve been thinking about gas cans lately and they almost universally have poor design. The safety cans have caused me more spills than any other because they have so many moving parts and leaky seals to match

I gave up interest in playing Morrowind ages ago but I still follow this project just because they continue to impress. With this as a foundation, we’re looking at a feature complete FOSS Skyrim engine in under a decade, maybe.

Well they did start development in the 60’s, it wasn’t all pot and acid back then. Oddly relevant to social media nowadays though.

I’d like a smaller version of this put into a wristwatch with a radioisotope power supply, an ISO-8601 date/time readout, and a built in calculator for measuring time dilation effects with my spouse. A laser pointer would be cool too.

Let’s see the source! Tarn teases it, but this game has a dedicated community already built in that could do wonders. A crowd fund to buy him out and FOSSify the code might work. Weird fact: DF doesn’t have version control, except for ‘mkdi
