Get black market explosives so I can blow up my brains and don't risk becoming a zombie.

Developing it would be way above my skills but I've been fantasising about it for a long time. https://lemmy.world/comment/14344097

"Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true. Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil. Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet. All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world. So there was only one thing that I could do, Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long"

Personally, I'm worried and empathetic towards the good people affected in USA. Leaning back and enjoying the show when republican voters get their faces eaten by leopards. Not too worried about how it will affect us economically as it just is another maelstrom of international turbulence going on. Everything is quite unstable and unpredictable right now so it's just another chaotic parameter. Unfortunately the sum of it all is paving the road for fascism to rise here as well when people feel unsafe and want order and vote for the ones with the loudest and easiest solutions to everything that is complex and scary. I think my social circles are pretty much the same, give or take some details.

They didn't come as cash registers out of the box.

It's okay to say that you don't know. I don't and I want to know. No need for arrogance.

From the pictures it looks like they are sitting on top a spring loaded manual cash box with a key. If the cash boxes are electronic and the C64s are interfacing them somehow, I'm more impressed that they are still working with all that mechanical action in a particle dense environment. If the software is loaded from disk or tape drive, yeah I'm pretty impressed by them working too. Maybe the C64s are dust proofed in some clever way or they have a routine to open them up for cleaning? And if the cash boxes and the breadboxes are connected, I want to know more about it. Finally, are there more modifications than this? I see there are stickers on some buttons. Any additional hardware attached? Or is it actually and literally an out of the box C64 sitting on top a manual cash box running some custom software in BASIC?

Edit: words be hard

Modified how?

Dangerous line of question as it is easy for sociopathic fucks to twist and manipulate it all around into justification.

Spend time with my dog. Call mum daily. Party with friends, all on me.

Create chaos. Bankrupt the country. Buy everything for pennies. See Russia.

Because stock traders have no interest in any company or any product. They are all about staying one step ahead of the next trader. As opposed to investors that also have no interest in any company or any product. They are all about the next quarterly report.

This economic system is bullshit.

Basically, yeah. Bind the "local" path on boot and then have systemd triggers for when USB mounts and unmounts to swap them automatically.

(Personally I wouldn't do it like this though because it will become trouble with any open files or shell or whatever in a path that is replaced by a different mount.)

The easy solution would be to have a third common mount point for the two that is switched if the external drive is connected or not.

You have a point.

Would you mind elaborating?

Edit; I got curious and checked out some post history. It's a tankie. No need to bother then. It will just be arrogance and smug insults and world history that strangely nobody except other tankies find truthful.

If China becomes democratic it is no longer China anywhere as we know it. The agenda is still, AFAIK, that the totalitarian regime is necessary for another undisclosed amount of time with the end goal to transition into full communism.

The problem is of course that the party elite quite enjoy this position they are in and are in no hurry for any societal transitions in any direction whatsoever.

So, in my mind, your question is at best some imaginary world building for a fictional scenario that has no connection with reality.

Yeah, all right you convinced me. Look how the political engagement of other people was not enough against the masses that fell for coordinated misinformation. Surely it would make no difference if more people were to be active in politics or society or environmentalism or activism or information or anything else. All we can do is to wait for another somebody else go vigalante so we can enjoy some brief parasocial justice boner circlejerk. Everybody that suggests otherwise ruins our cynical doomer misanthropic apathy wankfest. Shame on them. Boo. Downvotes. Everything is hopeless forever.

So be the change then.
