Meanwhile in indie land, I just tried to cheat my way through a Chapter 3 minigame in Deltarune, and Toby Fox himself showed up in his dogsona to blow up the game and make me start the minigame over.

This is the extent to which anti-cheat measures should go.

Walking through an open door in a place you’re authorized to access is going to be a hard sell on a B&E conviction, but okay.

TL;DR:

If your job is total bullshit, using a bullshit generator produces functionally identical outcomes.

This is good for Bitcoin.

Huh! I had no idea. Thank you!

Could you elaborate on that? I’m not up to date on FOSS / open source licensing.

Since I’m not in Denmark and I’m big fan of Nordic women beauty type, do you have a link?

We have a meticulously curated list over here at our Pirated Pornography Board.

I’d expect medicine to be highly precisely crafted in labs by highly educated professionals and that it’d be difficult and perhaps dangerous to make and take your own medicine. I could be wrong.

You’re not wrong—all of 4TVC’s work is extremely dangerous. Not as dangerous as you’d think, though. And, compared to living a life crushed by debilitating disease or debt, do those risks outweigh the outcome? Probably not.

As somebody who once worked at an ISP: they absolutely do that, and it isn’t illegal. In fact, ISP’s host many of Ookla’s speedtest servers. The less infrastructure your test needs to go through, the better the results will be—there’s nothing faster than a network that’s communicating with itself.

Meanwhile, I am permanently banned from YouTube for uploading a 45 second clip of an episode of Star Wars Rebels as a private video to share with my kids, after we just (legally) watched it and they thought it was cool.

Such a good system.

I made bootleg tapes for my friends. I remember Little Feat and The Band were pretty popular choices.

I really wish they’d pick a better name. Ableism aside, it’s just a terrible name.

Crime rules.

Sort of correct. Red Star OS has been in wide use for nearly 20 years now, but it is definitely not FOSS like actual Linux distributions.

Kathmandu is where we’re going to, baybeeeeeee!!

That was a very cool read. I’m not particularly technical—I can build a PC and install an OS, and that’s about it—and I understood most of it. I had no idea that cursors were such heavy pieces of crap!

What? Where? I haven’t seen an ad in Firefox since Carter was president.

Oh my God, that’s disgusting! Illegal streaming services online? Where? Where did they post those?

I have fond memories of meth, though.
