Such a shortsighted view. How do you expect us to get out much-needed class of Trillionaire God-Rulers if you make life so difficult for those hardworking Billionaires?

You can see what they're smoking?

Why do you need to bring politics into it?

I won't bother. Sounds like hurd work.

To add to this: you can install an open-source app called Shelter which will let you quickly set up a Work Profile for apps you want to keep isolated.

Man, wait until these people hear about the filesystem and kernel.

Did you know there is an industry-standard mounting system for strap-on dildos? Just saying.

We actually do have a time machine, but only one. Jay, if you're reading this, it's my turn to use it last week.

I like my months fancy.

Heartbreaking stuff.

Oh, hello, my new favourite least-favourite word.

Without wishing to give too much away, I know a group of people who work at a public transport agency in the UK. They recently had a meeting with Google about "opening up our data" which amounted to Google wanting the agency to sign a contract that would give Google exclusive rights to realtime and scheduling data in perpetuity, then Google would decide if/when/how it would be made public. The agency didn't say "fuck off", but something to that effect.

Now, instead, they're working with a group of students to create a public API with a permissable licence and a framework for other agencies to do the same.

So... maybe do hold your breath? Transit is one of those areas that attracts nerds and nerds love open source.

Bring your cars inside.

There's a story or comic I read recently about a man who realises he is a Boltzmann Brain and had dreamt up the world around him to stave off madness.

The German Duck People made a video about it:

I worked in schools until last year, so this doesn't surprise me. A huge number of schools and hospitals were built in the 1960s and 70s during the baby boom, but the were built on the cheap with an expected lifetime of about thirty years. Most of those schools are still standing. There was a program of rebuilding from 2000 to 2012 but it got cancelled. Why spend £10m on a new school building, when you can spend £2m/year patching up the old one?

Well, now is your chance.

Go hunt. Kill skuls.

Daddy Putin taught him well.

If you can find it, take a look at "Oh Dearism Part II" by Adam Curtis.

Both a definition and an example. Well done.

Get ye flask.
