Maybe we could get some open-source routers and kernel patches going to implement this instead: https://bill.herrin.us/network/ipxl.html

It’s what should’ve been done instead of IPv6 – well, maybe it’s a bit of a non-sequitur for the current problem, but it would create a different internet that maybe could be routed around the age-verified one if that comes to pass.

I posted an idea over here about a week ago, I think it might actually meet the legal requirements without any OS changes for Linux/BSD/POSIX UNIX type OSes.

I’m going to start looking into Meshtastic and Reticulum … they look pretty cool.

…because it’s not him doing it. He’s mainly a figurehead, a useful idiot. It’s the smart fascists around him and behind him. Peter Thiel, Roger Stone, Russ Vought, Stephen Miller, Mitch McConnell, etc. etc. and basically all the Christian Nationalists and White Supremacists who’ve been working for over 30-40 years to chip away at and infiltrate every US institution. It took a long time, but they worked patiently to reach the point where this was possible.

Wow, that is depressing.

I know, that’s not right. Just feels a bit hopeless sometimes knowing the big corps still churn out bad stuff while we are told to be so eco-conscious…

Now I’m grumpy since I haven’t had my morning coffee yet, but …

At this point in my life, I feel approximately zero guilt for my consumption in day-to-day life. The fact that plastic recycling has turned out to be ‘guilt-washing’ intentionally marketed as effective when it is not, and that the fossil fuel industry is in fact planning to RAMP UP plastic production (to compensate for future lowered fossil fuel for vehicles), and the fact that most pollution (like 70%) is done by industry, not individuals…

Force the externalities back onto the CORPORATIONS. Make them pay for the lifecycle of their products, instead of telling us that we somehow are the problem. Make them pay for clear-cutting by making it so expensive that it’s not viable compared to responsible managed forestry, with proper diverse tree-planting instead of monocultures. Fine them into oblivion if they clear an entire hillside, causing erosion and flooding.

Now I’m still going to recycle my plastic like a chump, because I’d feel bad if I didn’t, but it won’t make a difference. Nor will stopping use of wood pellets, since the vast majority of the damage is done by irresponsible logging by big corporations and our governments who won’t lift a finger to stop them.

Good. This shows plainly how LLMs don’t think, don’t truly understand anything, and have no critical ability to do introspection or fact-checking. It seems the only way to teach the world of these things is to make it impossible to ignore via absurd demonstrations like this. If the “AI” well must be poisoned in order to wake people up, I’m all for it.

LeMarchand dice?

He could’ve just peed into a jug instead, and then turned that into wine, right? I mean, it’s mostly water.

Jem’Hadar bees, wonderful /s

This here. The dirty not-at-all-a-secret is that NONE of it is profitable. It is all a money-burning, water-wasting, RAM-market-sucking black hole.

There is no road to profitability unless they somehow convince everyone to pay multiple thousands of dollars per year for subscriptions. At least that’s what I keep hearing; evidence otherwise with real references, I’m open to consider.

Devuan can work, I have it on my Dell laptop with dual intel/nvidia gpu. Steam w/proton works.

Apologies, you’re absolutely right. I forgot to factor in the original annexation!

Like how the US protected Ukraine when it gave up its nukes, trusting that the West and NATO would protect them if Russia decided to invade?

I know, that invasion began between Orange Man’s two terms, but still. The US in general needs to STFU about how it supposedly protects the world, they dropped the ball bigtime there.

TheSpiffingBrit would’ve figured out a way to do it without console commands though, I bet :)

The oligarchs will bulldoze and crush the infrastructure, rather than let the people grow food with it. Come on, where’s the profit in that? Not /s. They seriously think this way. We’d have to take the equipment by force in order do to this.

Why not both? Sheesh.

Sounds intriguing, but paywalled.
