Their proof doesn’t prove anything if they control the hardware and software scanning your biometrics.

There are some people who do that. Just driving on the steel rims of their cars. But they usually take it a step further, driving on roads that are also made of steel.

Probably order a Digikey catalog. Do they still make printed catalogs? No idea. Then I’d download as many Kicad libraries as I could find.

I’d scrape, as best I can, the online stores of anywhere I’d expect to need to buy from. Hopefully they’ll set up phone lines to order through.

I’d download as many Steam games as I could fit, starting with the smallest. I have a bunch that I got from sales for like a dollar, and haven’t played yet. I’d probably try to organize LAN parties for Factorio, Total Warhammer, Phasmophobia, and 7 Days to Die. I’d get a crack for Steam, to let me play all my games offline. I know it has an offline mode, but sometimes it doesn’t work, and asks you to sign in, so I’d have the crack ready in case offline mode stopped working.

I’d download full disc sets of Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Fedora (which I’ve never run, but maybe I’d try). The full sets, the ones with every single package, so I could install any package I wanted without Internet access.

I’d find a local Linux users group, so I could bring my questions there instead of web searching. And help others with their questions when they can’t web search either.

I’d find books and videos to watch, by going to torrent sites and sorting by seeders.

I dunno, but it’s not like this.

I’ve tried supporting multiple news sites, but it’s always something. Like the site just crashing before I can get to pay, or an endless captcha, or my credit card being rejected as sussy, but the credit card company claims they haven’t declined anything. I’ve tried multiple credit cards, multiple computers, Firefox and Chromium, always the same.

The Onion is the closest thing to news I successfully paid for.

In 1991, lithium-ion batteries cost around $9,200 per kilowatt-hour — 33 years later, they cost just $78.

Where can I get lithium-ion batteries for $78 per kilowatt-hour?

This affects SD cards, which are extremely common and supported by open source operating systems. This affects Compact Flash cards, which use the same protocol as PATA hard drives, just a different connector.

Counterpoint: The Crosscode soundtrack.

Forest level: accordion, guitar, only a bit of flute, no violin.

Forest level 2: accordion, choir, and xylophone.

Forest level 3: steel drums, guitar, some other kind of guitar.

Ice level: flutes, bass guitar.

Ice dungeon: french horn, synthy violin.

Lava level: (none)

Desert level: Exactly what OP said.

Desert town: Totally different from what OP said.

Beach level: guitar, flute, piano, very little steel drums, no ukulele.

There are things I miss from Windows 95, 98, NT, and XP. There’s nothing I miss from Windows 7, 10, or 11. Everything I cared about had been deleted by the time of Windows 7.

Flash had a ton of vulnerabilities. It felt like one zero-day RCE per year.

Flash never had a good FOSS implementation until years after Flash Player was discontinued.

I was very happy about the death of Flash Player, but neutral on the death of the Flash format.

The focus of the operation in Nabi Chit was recovering the remains of an Israeli military airman who went missing in Lebanon 40 years ago.

The focus of the operation was to do some killing, and they don’t care who.

In an ideal world, the free market would punish AI investors for being so foolish. In reality, they’ll probably get a bailout when the bubble pops.

Unless you count everything Google as malware, in that case yes

Yes, but more urgently, Facebook.

If Motorola is willing to have a non-shitty operating system, why can’t they just put a non-shitty operating system on at the factory? All the stock Android OS I’ve seen lately, including Motorola’s, are crappy, have privacy settings disabled, and in many cases are full of unremovable malware.

this also references you know who

No, I don’t know who. Is it Donald Trump? Vladimir Putin? Benjamin Netanyahu? Could be any of them.

I agree with this. Ads contaminate your mind, so make sure to use ad blockers. But also help your friends set up ad blockers, because if their minds are contaminated, it will spread to you.

It is. But it’s not enforced. Employees in the US are afraid to ask their employers for anything because they can get fired for no reason.

Why don’t we have schematics and source code for the voting machines?

Are any of those apps FOSS?

I’m glad to see Visa suffer, but I’m pretty concerned that Wero requires a proprietary phone app. There is no way to shop using Wero without this proprietary software.
