best bet for your home theater PC is STILL old computer parts with high capacity storage

style errors are easily forgiven. study a foreign language or a programming language to get some empathy

suspending habeas corpus? he should be in so many heaps of trouble. the guillotine was a nasty, evil piece of work, and anyways

• Remember that one with the dancing penis lmao. That had nothing to do with all the other else

Definitely stop

there was a sub called ‘the donald’, wanna say there was an underscore in there, that started as a joke but was co-opted

that is an extra plus feature i always wanted from a “smart” phone - offline maps. i spent money on some of those apps back when it was kicking off and a very few of them were actually helpful, like showing me actual USGS topo maps.

would not have helped me that much for survival on my Hawaiian big island fuckabout, because even the big island is not big enough to get truly lost. i tried!

eventually I went downhill on the volcano towards the ocean for a day or two until cell reception and called my girlfriend and told her I hit my head pretty hard and she should come get me.

still the maps would have been super interesting. also, Red River Gorge, and all the southwestern N. America desert.

that’s enough for me, except are the other ones not good?

downloading maps for offline – you nuts? how does anyone profit from the clicks?

why is Organic Street Maps better than the other ones, that claim to be Open Street Maps derived?

bandwidth is not disposable ya’ll.

have they resurrected that subreddit from 2016 era, name of which i will not repeat, but it was well fuck. i’m still not going to say it. it’s not an “information hazard”, it’s a garbage sphere that accretes garbage

that’s practically impossible. TOR is alive and well, as if any rando in any country sanctioned by the u.s. cares.

of course they could Great China Firewall the shit out of everything and still fail.

but we’re on the downward spiral, so be gleeful!

Yeah it was almost briefly cool. You could take apart and upgrade your own iPod, build your own enclosure for it

I want more Kung Fury and I want him fighting Rocket X. Hitler III

Sometimes access isn’t so reliable. Maybe you want to disappear into the woods with a few hundred thousand novels.

Yeah tons of weird little private softwares never get updates, but they aren’t making anyone money either

yeah the API shit was part of why i left too but i lose interest too

i forgot to mention logistics. money and nepotism and contracts. fucking brutal family histories in imperialism since , you know

is spez a euphemism?

edit; no i know who he is, he’s the guy who edited comments.

is he like even worse than that

what scares “them” is ideas and knowledge

you fight shadows with light

edit: too much overhead artificial light bouncing off of drywall contradicts my prior opinon

i’ve seen some weird and crazy ultra violent shit on reddit. i don’t want more of it but fuck them and fuck spez.
