Analog Modem Enjoyer

I say this out of genuine concern: That is not strong enough resistance. The next step governments will take will use the existence of these concessions as their slippery slope. They will be used as an argument that if it is possible for some projects to implement it, all could and should implement it. Defiant implementations will be held up as examples of loophole exploitation, requiring additional legislation. Any or all of these. I can't believe I lived long enough to see OSs become subject to arbitrary regulation reminiscent of firearms. It's the OS equivalent of California's microstamp laws, which don't even have a functional technical solution. This is unconstitutional. I know it runs afoul of a multitude of amendments, but what about the 2nd amendment? As encryption has been regulated as a munition in the past, can arbitrary restrictions on the use of, say, Tails, constitute infringement? Can we get the count of bill of rights violations up to at least 4?

I'll probably talk about this later but the point of this is being added is to be in control of it rather than having the government come along and force a much worse solution, you can give it fake information

@qwertymodo @JasonPremoMFG @MakeAugusta This is the concise and correct post. Too many people believe power strips are little breaker boxes. They are not.

@JasonPremoMFG @MakeAugusta Most power strips are surge protectors, not circuit breakers. They protect against voltage spikes, not high current draw.

Please do NOT plug space heaters into extension cords! Plug them directly into the wall outlet!!! Extension cords/ Power strips are not able to handle the high current flow that a space heater can put out and can overheat causing a fire. 🔥🔥🔥

@LundukeJournal I saw this coming. I'm still hoping for the unenforceable bit, but I know a government like California would rather use this as a beat-down tool than diligently consider its enforceability. x.com/V22bis/status/…

Moderators of the r/Linux subreddit are now censoring posts which talk about Age Verification. Not only are posts being removed, but I’ve heard from multiple Reddit users who have been banned from r/Linux for expressing opposition to Age Verification.

@V22bis @XLibreDev Which DE are you using with CachyOS?

#GNOME 50 is scheduled for Mar 18, completely removing #X11 support. The once widespread DE is now systemd-only and Wayland-only. If you doubt that "GNOME knows best" and like to stay on X11, we have a section "Desktop Environments" on our "Are We XLibre Yet?" page. #desktop-environments" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/X11Libre/xserv…

@lporiginalg He'll be asking something about a small cylinder in due time.

@alphafox 2400bps. Its relatively simple negotiation is burned into my mind. BBSs were cool.

How fast was your first modem? Mine was a 2400 baud Hayes:

@Skye_Hedgehog @washghost1 I think it's the granola.

@washghost1 What makes a woman a “crunchy girlfriend”

I should probably start doing some of this

@ClownWorld If I were constructing a building I might put a sign up early like this as a troll. A cheap sign though, like the sort Spirit Halloween uses.

@peddaramay52313 @alphafox Nobody was talking to you, dalit. Speak only when spoken to.

@V22bis @alphafox Wtf does that even mean

You think drinking bottled water in India will prevent you from getting stick? Think again:

@peddaramay52313 @alphafox

@V22bis @alphafox You should be a moron who can’t differentiate or don’t bother to differentiate.

@PNWG_NATURE Sick of AI aurora pictures posted by accounts based in "South Asia" and etc.

5,000 followers! Am i getting botted? or are people really that sick of fake/foreign nature account?

@TheARCcentral Counerpoint: Hatches are a player chokepoint and this is inevitable.

And this is why you farm ARC near a hatch

@Mericamemed Classic lazy programming: Do a bunch of stuff and assume it worked.

@US_Monarch @kikisknees Meth. Either currently or prior.

@kikisknees Why the hell does his mouth move like that!?

He does this because no one has yet stood up from their chair, walked over to his seat and beaten him to within an inch of his life for acting this way. They all do. Tolerance is not a virtue.

I cat-sit for a cat that hates me. It's the only cat that's ever hated me. I believe it stems from a misunderstanding. He had been friendly, and I giving him some normal back pets, and he suddenly turned and attacked viciously. My theory is he experienced a spurious back pain and acts like I hurt him on purpose. Since that moment he's permanently angry with me and growls. No injury or back pains on him to avoid, he's a pretty default mid-age orange cat. I bring my kids over to pet him instead while I tend the food and water, and that way he gets some interaction when his owners are away. I leave him alone so as not to stress him. He has softened with me ever so slightly over time. Sometimes a cat jumps to conclusions. I've lived decades around cats that have clearly loved me. Therefore, I'm not an absolute subscriber to the idea that the way an individual cat/animal treats a person is a reflection of the person's inner self. Cats can make mistakes of attribution and you can't talk it out with them. It matters more how the human handles this.

@CatKnowsNth WHAT have you done for that cat to be SO SCARED of you?? Cats don't act like that for no reason.

Just trying to protect all his brothers

@tszzl This prevents your passwords from being stolen through mind-reading, of course.

the knowledge of my computer passwords lives in my fingers rather than my head i can’t remember them unless im actively typing

@KitzyWitzy @anttsinc If you can attend a school function it's because the public is invited.

@V22bis @anttsinc How so? Even if they have security you can still attend school functions.
