They worked well, do you know how much oil we got, and how many defense contracts where signed? What did you think they where taking your money for? Social programs? That would be communism! 🙃

Ate shit on an ebike a lil under 30.

The Charlie's horse the night after was fucking BRUTAL!

Wear a helmet lol.

They still exist and they're just as unheard of as the unsung heroes who brought us the digital revolution of the 20th century.

Alan Turing, Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, Gary Kildall, the list goes on. At least Torvalds and Stallman got some recognition for what they did within their respective communities, even if the latter is a bit of a creep.

All of those people where far more important to computing, and far less famous. Just like how no one really thinks about the developers holding up the open source projects which function as the bedrock of our modern society. They're more interested in company heads than actual technologists, or more accurate, that's what the people in power are more interested in.

Actual engineers tend to have pesky things like morals and ethics.

Yeah one of these things is something that can happen to a genuinely good parent due to complete happenstance, literally anyone at all given enough situational stress and dumb luck. The other are people who actively murdered their children, and where unable to stop themselves until it was too late.

If you don't see the difference, and you're that much of a tool you think every hammer is a nail, then maybe you need to find another line of work.

Never been to an SBS conference, but if you want to embarrass yourself there too, by all means, go the fuck ahead.

What in your brain makes you think they're saying that? Demanding more from Democratic leadership isn't the same thing as saying you're going to vote for trump, or not vote at all.

Will I vote for Kamala? Sure its better than Trump, and even a little better than Biden. She's still a fucking cop who supports genocide though. Low fucking bar, and we absolutely have every right to removed, moan, and complain about it.

Stop making excuses for establishment neoliberalism

You say that like most of these people are any more neglectful than you or I. Bad shit happens to good people for no good reason. Take the stress of existence, add in a change of plans during a daily event where you'd normally run on autopilot, and your fucking kid is dead. If it never happened to you that's because you wheren't life's unlucky few who died, or got someone killed for a very human mistake.

There isn't always a solution. You can't fix every bad situation. Sometimes you have to sit there and just eat the fact that the world is garbage and there is literally, positively, absolutely nothing you, or anyone else can ever do that will fix it.

You're a fucking dofus if you think any of these parents, outside of a few cherry-picked instances, are going to make the same mistake twice. But you don't, because if you did you'd simply suggest having their remaining children removed from their home.

You're advocating for this because the cave-person part of your brain told you "bad person get punish", and instead of quelling it like a civilized individual, you thought "hey that's the part of our brains that should make careful decisions about a complete strangers entire future." Fuckin' gratz.

Do you actually think prison time would be a worse punishment, or larger reminder than your kid dying?

The defendant was an immense man, well over 300 pounds, but in the gravity of his sorrow and shame he seemed larger still. He hunched forward in the sturdy wooden armchair that barely contained him, sobbing softly into tissue after tissue, a leg bouncing nervously under the table. In the first pew of spectators sat his wife, looking stricken, absently twisting her wedding band. The room was a sepulcher. Witnesses spoke softly of events so painful that many lost their composure. When a hospital emergency room nurse described how the defendant had behaved after the police first brought him in, she wept. He was virtually catatonic, she remembered, his eyes shut tight, rocking back and forth, locked away in some unfathomable private torment. He would not speak at all for the longest time, not until the nurse sank down beside him and held his hand. It was only then that the patient began to open up, and what he said was that he didn’t want any sedation, that he didn’t deserve a respite from pain, that he wanted to feel it all, and then to die.

Fatal Distraction: Forgetting a Child in the Backseat of a Car Is a Horrifying Mistake. Is It a Crime?

If you're running a multimillion dollar drug operation and you're too incompetent to set up, or too cheap to pay someone to do in your place what most home-labbers could with a couple hundred bucks of hardware, then you're going to get caught and you probably deserve it.

Realistically xmpp over i2p or tor on a disposable live-booting OS would be the best answer. Shit even a one-time-use pay-as-you-go gas station burner woulda been better in most cases. Failing that, you should at least plant yourself in a corrupt enough country and just pay off the local law-enforcement.

If you can't do opsec and own your own comms, then why the fuck would you break international law like that?

They said trap which is a catch-all slur for gender non-conforming amab people.

Nothing like eating it fresh out the foreskin the way you eat a gogurt.

Yeah the word trap can go the fuck back to the 2010s where it belongs.

Yes and no, if you have large-scale projects that require a ton of people, donations can be necessary.

Just because you take donations doesn't mean you have a profit motive.

Just use graphene and matrix, fucking dipshits.

Not sure what sort of content this person made, but if I found out one of the trans creators I pay attention to was faking it I'd be kinda pissed.

Then again most of the trans content creators I pay attention to are either talking about trans specific issues, or shit like franlab where the content is very focused on the hobby and not the person.

Completely unrelated, but have any of you thought of taking up target shooting, or even flying FPV as hobbies? I think those would be fun hobbies. Like I said, completely unrelated.

Install this on top of a docker VM running in proxmox to get the real experience.

Id probably be angrier if this was some company making econoboxes, but if enshitification wants to target the cars of the rich, fuckin' go for it.

Easy and cheap access to anonymous, private, libre, and freedom-respecting computing is the inaliable human right of all hackers and future hackers.

I shouldn't even need an email to sign up, why do you think I'm here?
