see c/UGEM for UnderGroundElectronicMusic. :) (I was going to set up something like that when saw someone else had already requested to make it. Good stuff. Populate it.)

  • Do you still use compact discs?

  • Red Dwarf may be prophetic, and all the old formats will come back. Old formats, as in older than CD/DVD.

    And the floppies may even get big, really big, for the really important stuff, to help make sure we don't lose it.

  • Them being armed will make it a lot more thrilling when you persist in asking them under what conditions are you lawfully obligated to comply.

  • That’s the old blurb, they changed it a little while ago.

    How little a while ago?

    looking at it from here.

  • Time for another crackdown

  • Reminds of The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)'s, Article 4, basically undermining all 30 (even number 30 itself) of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), allowing states to "derogate" any of the articles of human rights for an emergency. [1]

    ... Like they never encountered the thought (... or... it was their intent...) that if you tell governments they're allowed more power over people and free to commit what would otherwise be crimes, for an emergency, then they will create emergencies to access those powers and to relinquish their duty to uphold human rights and their duty of care.

    [1][Did have to search for that... thought it was one of the UDHR articles themselves that had that derogation bit.]

  • Yep.

    Plenty bad reasons though.

    Mostly around abuse of the vulnerable, data-mining, advertising/marketing/psyops/publicrelations, pedophilia, pedovoria, disempowerment, indoctrination, dumbing-down, wealth extraction maximisation, profiling, voter suppression, gerrymandering, insurance scams, etc.

    Still struggling to conceive of even a single good reason...

    ... So it helps us detect the crooked politicians who would vote for such a thing?

  • Ahhh. Neo-liberal.

    Gotta love that Orwellian marketing.

    Neo-liberal. Neither new (neo), nor liberal.

    Basically, same old fascist.

    Jump

  • Yup.

    Welcome to newspeak, USA-flavor.

    Still drinking hair of the dog to nurse the McCarthyian redscare hangover.

    Layers deep into the newspeak. Liberal, conservative, democrat... all these terms already many contortions and inversions distanced from original meaning. Soon, even "him", "he" and "himself" too. Then even "is" and "not", and then the CIA's work will be done.

  • Armed thugs of the state break into every home, and install their bigbrotherware operating system, and kill anyone who flinches like they might be committing any acts of dissidence. There we go. Everybody happy. And of course, you wont own the software. You'll be renting it. Like everything else. Own nothing, be happy. Maybe they care. :/

  • I wonder if that "this distro is not allowed in California" approach is even compatible with the various free software licenses.

  • No addresses or entities tied to the distro respins I've made.

    That was not a requirement in the software license.

  • Or they made a law to attempt to ban operating systems with free software licenses.

  • No biggie. I got ready for this in minutes after hearing about it.

     
        
#!/usr/bin/env fish
read -P "Are you old enough?  (yes/no)  " input
if test "$input" = "yes" -o "$input" = "Yes"
echo "Proceeding..."
else
echo "You are not old enough.  Exiting." 
exit 1
end

    ... What? ... Why are you all looking at me like that?

  • Speaking of leopards, I got banned from leopardsatemyface, for not conforming to their very very narrow dogma on one topic. Seems like they're already well "established".

    Who are "turbolibs" and why are they trying to keep them happy? ???

    Bizarre how they keep falling for betrayal.

    Yeah. Mind-blowing.
