I know it hasn’t stopped this administration yet, but he doesn’t have that authority:

50 U.S. Code § 1702 (b) The authority granted to the President by this section does not include the authority to regulate or prohibit, directly or indirectly— (3) the importation from any country, or the exportation to any country, whether commercial or otherwise, regardless of format or medium of transmission, of any information or informational materials, including but not limited to, publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, microfilms, microfiche, tapes, compact disks, CD ROMs, artworks, and news wire feeds.

Isn’t the balkanization of the US explicitly part of Russia’s goal, and establishment of city-states (or CityCorps) the explicit goal of the dark enlightenment types that Peter Thiel is backing?

And honestly, my understanding is that the multiplayer games aren’t very social: they’re almost always using ranked but otherwise random matchmaker settings that mean instead of socializing and getting to know people, you meet your single serving friends and then barely ever see them again.

It’s called a skeuomorph, and many times the camera symbol is one too, as most modern cameras don’t look like that.

Well have fun, maybe you’ll see me some other year.

Well that’s cool. If you pop by in 2-3 weeks (we go the last two weeks, once with kids and one without) and see a guy with a beard in old skiing goggle sunglasses and pseudo-Viking regalia feel free to say hi and I’ll know I met a fellow weird nerd from Lemmy lol.

Maryland Renfest? We go there in a couple weeks, it’s always a good time. Love to see everyone’s fun costumes and drink mead.

Nah, you can enroll your own keys and set it up so you can be reasonably certain that your boot image hasn’t been altered, validating its integrity against the potential threat of bootkits. I do this with my Gentoo install.

I’ve always wanted to try both of those.

Yep, I drink mead, i.e. honey wine. It’s really good, doesn’t give me as much of a headache as beer these days. Sometimes it’s too sweet, I haven’t found a good dry one around here though.

I played around with Gentoo a few years ago, got it working but then got annoyed with some binaries taking too long. Wanted to build a machine I couldn’t hack though, and now there’s a repo with precompiled bins if you ask portage nicely, so I figured I’d give it a shot again. Maybe it was the mead but I forgot to do that for gcc though. oops

What a coincidence, I’m drinking mead and installing Gentoo. Currently compiling gcc, always takes forever, maybe I should’ve gone with the recompiled binary for that one lol.

No ragrets.

37 is my favorite, because 3x7x37=777 (three sevens), and I think that’s neat.

Reminds me of a tweet I saw once:

Unlike you jaded pessimists I still have the ability to feel optimistic about something even after a lifetime of disappointment. And you know why? Because I’m stupid.

Or if we’re talking Witcher 3, Hearts of Stone or Blood and Wine. Both of those had an amazing amount of content, well worth it.

Most of the time I don’t even write, I type or use swipe-to-text.

I believe it’s 32 bytes, but it depends on the AP, some use a null terminator as the final byte.

Wouldn’t algae be the most efficient at oxygen production? You’d still need about 1000L of water for the algae (assuming a 1L:1g ratio for the algae to thrive), the light source would hopefully be solar or else you’re using a lot of energy (good luck bunker people), and you’d have to have some method of feeding and filtering it (maybe its output can be something else’s input and vice versa?), but it’s a little more doable than 8-12 oaks.

Big Beautiful Cock

You can waste my time by posting here, I’ve seen many of your contributions and I greatly appreciate your efforts. I don’t usually say anything though. That other guy can fuck off.

They never get the faces right.
