Why would we want to be ruled by our 51st state?

I kinda always wanted Penny’s computer book from Inspector Gadget.
It’s self-selecting. In order to be here in the first place, you have to give a shit enough to ignore the big corporate social media sites in favor of finding and using this one.
FPV antenna, and it’s not really a VR headset, just a monitor in some goggles that receives the video transmission from the drone. Hobbyists that do racing and aerobatics have setups like this. It’s big and flat because it’s designed to be highly directional to cover the most distance. The video runs over 5.8Ghz, and the control signal over 2.4Ghz.
Edit: found it on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Soaying-Triple-Antenna-5-8GHz-Pagoda/dp/B0CWG8DKJT
when they don’t have some sort of white noise in the bathrooms
Would it help if I sat next to you going “shhhhhhhhhh” as we poop together?
The engineers who work for him know engineering. Elon fancies himself an engineer, but he comes across as someone who knows about as much about aerospace as any kid after a few rounds of Kerbal Space Program. I’ve listened to his technical interviews on the Raptor engine and other stuff, he just spews pseudointellectual boilerplate you can get from any generic sci/space YouTuber.
So, is the Internet caring about copyright now? Decades of Napster, Limewire, BitTorrent, Piratebay, bootleg ebooks, movies, music, etc, but we care now because it’s a big corporation doing it?
Just trying to get it straight.
you would have had to be on the Web very early indeed to remember when it was entirely static
Correct. My first web browser was Mosaic. I was using it on my Dad’s PC in 1994 at 12 years old.
I’m a single dude who sells custom electronics with open source software on them. I sell maybe two PCBs a month. It just about covers my hobby, I’m not even living off of it. I can’t afford commercial licenses. There has to be tiers.
In return, I’ve made every schematic, gerber file, and bill of material to my stuff freely available.
As someone on the spectrum, I’ve been ostracized, humiliated, and dehumanized all my life, yet I did not become a Nazi. It only made me angrier at the people who want to put their boots on your neck.
And when it’s really unusable as a desktop anymore, it can become a headless PiHole server. There’s always a use. Back in 2005 I was using an old Pentium MMX laptop with a broken screen as a Wifi access point/router. I even bought a two-way 2.4Ghz amplifier to hang off the laptop’s PCMCIA wifi card to boost it throughout the apartment.

There’s something eerie and a bit depressing about a social media feed that doesn’t refresh often enough
Society’s modern artificially induced ADHD on display here. Anybody remember when websites were all static and didn’t dynamically change at all?
I thought they’d be selling the oxygen before they get to the sunlight.
Say you walk up to some person giving out free samples of food. As a condition of taking this free sample, you also must take a pamphlet of advertisements from the people who are giving you the free sample. You take your free sample, and then walk away while dropping the pamphlet in the nearest trash can. That’s essentially what ad blocking is. You’re simply preventing certain parts of a web page from being downloaded to your device. That’s why people have issues with the “piracy” label, because nothing is being “stolen”. You’re just refusing to take all of it.
I’m a C/C++ dude but I heard it being called the “Karen compiler”. It doesn’t look that scary based on samples I’ve seen, but there’s way more to it I am assuming.
Generative AI is not going back into the bag. If not OpenAI, then someone else will control it. So we deal with them the next best way, force them to serve us, the people.
Did these motherfuckers never read The Lorax?
I learned how a kernel actually loads a program and switches between them by using timer interrupts and interrupt vectors that point to specific locations in memory to resume execution from. Not specifically Linux related, but I’m trying to learn more computer science, and it just clicked for me two weeks ago. I’ve been programming microcontrollers for ten years, but those are monolithic programs, and while I knew what interrupts were and have used them, I never understood how an OS actually runs multiple things while staying in control. Now I do. About time I understood a core concept of these machines that have been here all 42 years of my life.
It’s one of those “aha!” moments like when I realized classes and structs are just data types like any other in C++ when I was starting off programming and can be used like them. OOP became fun after that.
It kinda does matter if you want updated drivers and packages and stuff. I use Debian because I love its bare bones, generic approach and I’m used to it, but I’d never recommend it for anyone playing the latest games unless they like cruising five years in the past.
