It depends what they’re tweaking and why. For example, a lot of stuff is tweaked to become “Roundup ready,” and facilitating the mass use of glyphosate is dangerous.

You’re right: plastic is just as recyclable now as it was before.

Which is to say, it continues to largely fail to be recyclable.

Yet again, low-density exclusionary zoning causing car-dependency (which is why the “third spaces” you’re talking about have all-but disappeared) is revealed as the root cause of almost every problem we have.

I’ll be honest: I haven’t made it past (or even to the end of) that episode either. I’ve tried a couple of times, but end up stopping after a few minutes just from the sheer cringe.

And I really like the rest of the show, to the point where I don’t want to skip any episodes, but that one I really ought to skip.

Is it “assassination” when he’s a legitimate military target?

Not economic decline; spiraling inequality. Which is even worse, in some important ways.

Could very well be. I’m using OpenWRT and basically did the bare minimum to get it to work.

At least most cars these days no longer inflict burst fire damage when you touch the metal seatbelt buckle, like they used to.

Ah, so that’s where chupacabras come from.

Look up the story of the Citycorp Center in Manhattan; that’s always a fun one.

Time is a cube!

Yeah, it’s only anecdotal but I feel like hobbyists like us, who do slightly unusual things without nefarious intent, who are the ones who get hit with these sorts of issues the most. For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

Check the part about misinformation.

What Linux infrastructure? The wikis and torrent links?

Package database mirrors (i.e. the things you’re downloading from when you install new software).

Unless there’s a miracle, it would be:

4 consumer are relegated to DRM’d-to-Hell-and-back smartphones

And that’s honestly why this story isn’t the good news it appears to be. An entire generation growing up used to (or rather, used by) locked-down devices designed for consumption is a goddamned disaster!

That, and accurate observations that they couldn’t correctly explain. For example, prohibiting eating pork because it’s “unclean,” while having no clue about trichinosis. They don’t know (scientifically) how to mitigate it, so they just tell people it’s a sin.
