Remember, you aren't allowed on the decentralized social media network built to avoid censorship, if you don't have the right opinions.

I've noticed that the people who are the most sensitive to the most minor violations of social norms are also autistic themselves.

Since when is developing encrypted chat, email, and web hosting a crime?

The #Trump administration is criminalizing a collective like the Italian #AutisticiInventati *collective* (is it actually a *collective*?) , whose tech tools can be used by anyone

What good has 'the public having a say' done? We've had roughly 100 years of 'public education' in more or less its modern form, and what do we have to show for it? 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level. And its not getting better; the graduating class of 2025 had only 35% of students capable of meeting the baseline reading level of "proficient" according to NEAP. Math proficiency rates were even lower. What good even is a school that gives illiterate, innumerate kids diplomas?

But at least a rich guy didn't actuality teach kids math and reading so he could assign them Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard, right?

And how do you think markets even work? Do rich people tell you what flavor jam you eat on your toast, or what kind of shoes you have to wear? The market is how we get consumer choices, government solutions are the one-size-fits-all ones.

Public education is socialist provision of education services, literally the government owning and operating the means of education production. And the results are exactly what would be expected: skyrocketing costs, bureaucratic organizational disfunction, and completely defective output.

Power is back on in my area, but Internet is still down (and we are subscribed to two ISPs).

Good advice...
excerpt from Miles Mathis

Contrary to what you have been told, it is individuals
who are all important, not groups or organizations. All great change comes from individuals and
percolates up from there. Was Jesus an institution or an individual? And even now, 2000 years later,
Jesus is more important than all the churches and Christian institutions put together, including the
Vatican. Jesus had no money and no publisher and only a handful of friends, while the Vatican has
trillions of dollars, but the levels of influence aren't even close. They don't want you to remember that,
which is why I am reminding you. That doesn't mean you should be a Protestant rather than a Catholic,
or that you should choose a sackcloth denomination. It just means you should never underestimate
your ability to do good or solve problems. There is no demand from God that today be just like
yesterday; in fact the demand from God is that today should be better than yesterday. Clean up
yourself and your surroundings and get on with it

I love how Reddit is universally hated more than ever, yet nobody wants to bring back forums.

"Yeah, I'm going to continue to attack the one laptop manufacturer that makes laptops that will last you more than one year." (Don't quote me on that, I haven't tried one myself.)

@mischievoustomato the problem is those get cucked by laws where you're at, the issue is also that nobody against this takes it seriously or ends up getting cucked every day like the 3d printing guys have been once the techno libertarian dream meets Everytown for Gun Safety, and unlike the FPC and Gun Owners of America, it turns out you need to sue people to get shit done instead of uploading a video whining DAD IT'S OVER BRO

Anyone else notice the last name of the CEO of the company of the Flock surveillance system is Langley?

And it turns out that my mini PC's internal storage got corrupted during the storm and I need to wait a few more days/weeks to recover it (when the power in my area comes back on) :bunhdknife:

At least I was able to sleep without waking up in a pool of sweat, ever since I left home.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, each Shine Sprite can be collected twice because the icon of it appearing is not merely visual, but literally another Shine Sprite. This provides a cautionary tale to developers about never implementing a visual effect as the object itself.

I really want to rant about the place I'm staying for the time being, but I don't want to dox my location.
