As Doctorow points out, 'Saying security and privacy don't matter because you have nothing to hide is like saying freedom of speech doesn't mater because you have nothing to say.'

It's a very short-sighted view. Those rights will be taken from you if you don't protect them.

Oil has a bad reputation but how lucky we are to have it. How does a civilization on a planet without hydrocarbons make the leap to a technological species?

It's not impossible, but it's got to be a lot harder.

When they do boil off they need to make sure to have a hell of a lot of cocktail sauce and melted butter on hand.

It could simply be that the rise of life is wildly more rare than we think.

I read that stuff a few weeks ago. And the responses and discussion on Kagi's Discord. I'll continue to monitor Kagi's behavior, of course, but for now I prefer Kagi. I get far more relevant results with no advertising noise and as much or as little "AI" assistance as I want.

Google is a cesspool and DDG is simply inferior - worthy, but inferior.

There's a reason Primus' Les Claypool mentions the 7 Layer Burrito in "Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver".

The shit was good.

McDonald's Beef tallow fries. One of the great losses of my early life.

Try Kagi. Paid search engines are the future in order to extract yourself from the enshittification of "free" search engines.

I've played DSP, it's a great game too. I'll probably jump back to that when I burn out on Planet Crafter. The thing I don't like about it and Satisfactory is conveyor belt management. The constant battle to rewire the spaghetti.

Every kernel update (and there are tons) requires me to rebuild my third party modules, but you need to do it in a toolbox and the kernel headers version must match the running kernel version, which is actually more annoying than it sounds.

Boy, I doubt that.

My Windows 11 machine doesn't require any of that.

I've been playing Planet Crafter waaay too much. Check it out if you like Factorio, Satisfactory, etc. It's fun and super addictive. At least to me.

Wait, what? I'm wrapped around my skeleton?

Maybe not, but I'm sure his life was harder.

My wife has really bad knees (she just had her first replacement).

We went to an outdoor concert a couple of years ago and we're walking across muddy, uneven ground and she was cussing and complaining about the pain. Just then some young guy with no legs, walking on his hands, blew past us. She shut up fast.

Point being, someone always has it worse then you do.

Nah, they've been setting the stage for a year that he's being railroaded by "crooked joe". He won't have lost many votes with his convictions. But some...

There are no laws against it, no.

In fact he can be president and in prison at the same time, but he won't get prison time.

A lot of people do think he's on trial simply for paying a prostitute; they don't care. Check out a few MAGA interviews on YouTube.

How very "free market" of him.

One day soon someone will search online for what to do for a cut and some AI will spit out "Blood letting can actually be healthy in many American males, since often they have a overabundance of iron..."

Sabine Hossenfelder has a video on this problem.

My dream died, and now I'm here. Why academia sucks.
