A step in the right direction. Operating a car should be as strictly regulated as operating any similar piece of heavy machinery (with the proviso, of course, that society should be organised to not require driving a car to fully participate in). Though it’s cheaper to let people who wouldn’t be given a forklift certificate in a million years drive a Land Rover to the shops if they prefer and accept a level of road deaths as the inevitable price of progress, so that’s what we’re stuck with.

That’s probably the only way her major label would release it. The majors hate CDs as you can rip them and listen to a perfect digital copy as much as you like without generating a cent of streaming revenue (not to mention pirate them), so have been doing away with them, much in the way that Netflix won’t sell you an offline copy of your favourite show. (Vinyl is OK: it’s a premium-priced collectible, recordings of it sound like garbage, and while the buyer may give their vinyl record a ceremonial spin on special occasions, they’ll mostly stream it on Spotify or Youtube, generating revenue, as that’s more convenient.) A transparent novelty CD that only kinda works as a digital audio carrier but makes a collectible conversation piece fits the bill nicely.

Most normal lemming pick-up line

IIRC, Spotify watches the system volume and doesn’t pay for streams playing when it’s muted. Physically unplugging your speakers should work, though.

Sometimes discretion is the greater part of valour.

If you’re going to name a cat that, adopt two and name the other Weed or something.

Not having zero, they couldn’t have computers and thus social media, so they had to improvise

He gave his name to the sin of swaggarcy, of diverting church funds to pay for sex.

Isn’t Spain’s left-wing government on the ropes with a corruption scandal, and likely to be replaced by a hard-right government soon?

By then Gen X will have replaced them, and going on about reminiscing about how mix CDs burned from MP3s downloaded from AOL sounded better than the vinyl and TikToks the kids are listening to will be the “we drank from the hose was our curfew” of the time

If cats were allistic, they’d be dogs

Maybe he can set his best engineers on building one

Bet it’s the Moonies. They’re cashed up and all over right-wing politics across the world.

I’m hoping that whatever it is, it’s not a lazy cash-in. The world doesn’t need any more ARM-based Linux novelty gadgets in replica cases running emulators more or less well enough.

Something building on Jeri Ellsworth’s FPGA-based emulation platform (commercialised in the C64 DTV joystick console) would be cool; perhaps a Commodore-branded turnkey MiSTer box with pre-licensed Commodore/Amiga ROMs and titles. That and/or developing platforms into modern equivalents (imagine a new Amiga running on ARM, with new versions of AmigaOS that have IPv6 and Unicode and all the technologies we take for granted today).

Not enough people. You still see people talking about it, citing their Hogwarts houses, playing the games, squeeing about news of the TV show snd so on as if nothing was amiss, and dismissing any concerns about the profits going to persecute trans people as some kind of weird Peta-tier puritanism. It’s still considered acceptable in the mainstream to be into HP and be accepted as a good person.

That’s just life, friend.

This is an accurate description of Scientology doctrines.
