@beardalaxy @lanodan I don't drink. I've only been to a bar once with my dad (who doesn't drink either). He says that the food is the best part. I couldn't stomach it though.
Despite being an adult, I tend to avoid adults-only places.
@beardalaxy @lanodan I never been to one with a digital only menu. I can only assume that people started doing this because of COVID (or at least used it as an excuse). Either way, I think it's better to go to the restaurants website and check their menu ahead of time before going.
@stephen I was literally thinking of the same idea but with pirate boxes.
Concept: A bunch of packet radio nodes that sync messages with each other. So you can write a message on one node and it (eventually) gets put on all of them - kind of like a packet BBS except over a much larger range, and distributed
@ryo Literally the last thing I did before graduating was going to library and taking a bunch of hardware books (they were giving old books for free). I got a bunch of books on microprocessors. I just need time to sit down and read them.
@ryo We can't rely on old hardware forever. Hardware eventually deteriorates, including well-built hardware. Eventually, we have to rely on hardware manufacturers like System76, Purism, and Think Penguin.
My biggest fear is that governments might pass laws like the US Infrastructure Bill (which gives the government full remote control of future cars) but for computers, so if that happens, then we have to rely on black market hardware manufacturers.
