Unironically “we may be poor and homeless, but we have FREEDOM (also we’re a police state)”

Small fluffy mammals of any kind are always fun. Pangolins or Armadillos though would be fun.

River dolphins survive in freshwater happily, your dream is achievable.

Obviously worms in general are needed, but any big group of mainly parasitic ones I could happily delete without a second thought. Ideally let’s also destroy any records of their existence.

Wasps are crucial pollinators, and predators for millions of other poisonous, venomous, deadly bug and animals (including other wasps). Ecosystem surviving the sudden loss of all wasps is questionable.

uBlock on firefox here, no User Agent spoofing, videos load in ~1-2 seconds as normal still. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s used in nicher circumstances though.

Yes, pursuing infinite, endless bloody war is a sound strategy. Compared to say, finding a reasonable compromise that ensures everyone’s security?

Frets on Fire! It was the cool open-source equivalent to Guitar Hero. And you know what - it was pretty hecka cool to wield your keyboard like a guitar.

In my anxious moods, I do sort of prepare myself. I try to think of every possible eventuality, every possible accusation or thought someone may have, every thing I might forget or fumble, and try to imagine what I might do to counteract or resolve it. It’s still often a meaningless task because there are practically infinite possibilities, but in theory there’s a logic and a benefit to it…

That is a cool way to think about it though. I might put more meta-thought into it for the future.

Clearly this works for other people, and that is cool! Not for me though :(

My brain: “If it works out” then I won’t have to worry about it, but while there’s a chance it doesn’t I still need to prepare myself for the worst scenario.

As a fellow UK-er, the only real criticism I’ve heard about automatics is that it can be difficult to pull off quickly from a standstill - Have you found that at all?

Any sources to back up that a vague amount of infrared of the eye region is so meaningfully essential to face recognition systems? My sunglasses reflect most visible light, and they reflect some infrared light, and they cost $5. Even granting that very shaky claim, infrared blocking materials aren’t that expensive, this seems like a gimmick to make up for big prices.

A mask and any sunglasses or hat will prevent facial recognition 1000x better I suspect.

Absolutely this is why. And owning stuff isn’t a job - only workers contribute to society.

Unfortunately, having bourgeoisie rulers and landlords is the central underpinning to capitalism.

I don’t think 100 million will buy you a hill of beans in US politics. And I don’t think they’ll betray their class interests for any amount of money - what’s the point in taking a $100m bribe if it means there’s fair taxation and more equitable living that prevents them being top dog with that money?

Whyfore the hate for .rpms? I’ve never had an issue on Fedora in a decade.

This must be some new use of the word ‘privacy’ I wasn’t previously aware of.

Firefox for Android previously only supported a limited number of select extensions. They’re finally opening it up so you can use any extension.

Honestly, you want a simple, widely accepted, heavily west-biased source? Literally just read the wikipedia article.

“[CBS and WP journalists] could not find enough evidence to suggest that a massacre took place on the square”

“cables from the United States embassy in Beijing agreed there was no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square”

Nobody here is denying there were protests, or that a limited number people died in clashes with police across the country. But literally no reputed source, western lib or otherwise, claims that the government was out in Tianenmen killing civilians in major numbers.
