So Minnesota and dozens of US cities are implementing UBI, but you are only allowed to spend it on certain things.
Why can't people just wake the fuck up and realize that this is all part of the plan? They are purposefully inflating the money supply, and decreasing the purchasing power of the US dollar (and other fiat currencies) to the point that people are demanding this, but the catch is that it will be tied to a digital wallet. In this case, special debit cards.
@xianc78 I'd take XMPP over anything any day. After that IRCv3 when it becomes generally available.
@beardalaxy Reminds me of that cheat code in Star Wars: Rogue Squadron that changed the V-Wing into a limo.
@beardalaxy Just thinking about it, it might be used as a way to mask limitations of lighting engines. Without it, some light sources will end up looking like flat textures or solid colors.
@beardalaxy @histoire You kind of get the same effect if you squint your eyes, which you would naturally be doing if you are starring at a bright light.
Introducing the AppleWideWeb!
Most of you may already know that #HyperCard was a big influence on Tim Berners-Lee when he created the WWW. We are told that HyperCard missed its chance since it wasn't networked. Without support for connecting up a global network of HyperCard Stacks, it had no chance against the WWW.
Well that was then and this is now. In 2024 we DO have a global AppleTalk network to publish HyperCard Stacks on - #GlobalTalk! The dream is finally a reality!
A VM vending machine at #SCaLE21x! You put in a dollar, select your distro, and it creates a VM you can ssh into.
Edit: @dualdflipflop was behind this. Give him a follow.
