I wish i could still get my hands on a few of these, great source of ballbearings.

Thats what copyleft licensing is for and why physical things are increasingly using gpl and other open software licenses.

Thats a good sign actually.

People have been sharing things in storage drives for decades. Fmhy has a list of some big ones, usually for books.

Traditionally i believe these were not advertised and more underground, a way to easily share with friends.

You didn’t really want them easily found and traceable to you though but that is what changed.

Piracy has become so normalised that people take it for granted that there are no legal risks involved. Normalising piracy is the first step for the ideals of software freedom to flourish.

After all what is a digital file if not a bunch of writing that instructs the computer to draw pixels on your screen. You wouldn’t copyright the words to ask a human to make a drawing about a copyrighted something, so why do it for a computer?

Stahp, my games already perform better on linux with wine then they did on windows at this rate…

Actually please keep going !!!

This administrations brand is to sell government work (or non work) for personal favours and there literally accepting “exposure” as payment to signal how normalised they made it.

If you are a big enough name they don’t care how petty the bribe is. As long as it shows the world that they are open for this kind off business.

Every bribe, no matter how small is pure profit if you never owned what you’re selling.

You become god.

(Not oc, this is a known joke)

The power to reply to my own comment.

My experience with some of such papers is that you are supposed to have professional help already that does it for you.

Shows that you need assistance.

I have had some that required a shit ton of paperwork from different sources to be returned within a 30 day window.

Its impossible to pull off, but a social worker who knows these pages makes 1 phone call and now you have 90 days. Makes another phone call if its still not done.

I saw a gif about some cool hyprland dotfiles and i fell in love.

Instructions said it was designed for arch.

There are many more other reasons i stayed. Its great to actually feel in charge of my system.

Debian/ubuntu has its uses in server reliability but its missing snap for daily use.

Fedora is to close to corporate for my personal interest.

Wait till you find out that a decent potion of adhd memes also get cross posted in autism places.

Just general command key for shortcuts?

It is probably my most pressed button because of this, also i changed the keycap to eye of horus.

There is some nuance to what exactly is banned.

I self host a vpn at my home that i use to connect to my home network on the go. This is a super common use-case and also cant be used to circumvent regional blocks.

Work also uses a vpn to securely tunnel company hardware to our servers.

A blanket ban on vpn software and technology would be ridiculously dumb. Almost as bad as blanket ban on encryption.

If they make exceptions and only ban vpn with intention to hide and circumvent the law, then you only need some legal excuse if someone comes asking and its more a morality guideline then a criminal law.

If they blanket ban “vpn technology” i would simply suggest ignoring it. Laws that stupid are too incompetent to take seriously. I recon its completely unenforceable.

Either way you’re unlikely to be investigated unless the government already has a reason to investigate you. In which case you’re probably fucked no matter how secure your internet.

Thats a super weird question but yes there is someone named Ariana i encountered online this year who I would not be surprised to be a Linux user.

Depends what you consider the baseline to call something “coding”

Plenty of kids dabble with Redstone in Minecraft, there is also stuff like this:

It’s neither, there is a better move that ends in winning blacks queen.

Stock fish can’t see it. But it’s all forced moves.

The king can go Ke7 and then hide behind the queen. Queen capture is possible with all forced moves. Checkmate as far as i know, is not.

Me, a Neurodivergent: i don’t need any of this pesky chemical stimulant stuff to get through life.

Also me: Addicted to both caffeine and sugar.

Helps with remembering what you actually did that day because often i get so sidetracked it looks like i did nothing at all.

I have considered this point before and i settled on the perspective that neurodivergence does not replace the concept of a disability.

You can be neurodivergent and still experience a general disability at the same time. But I don’t view the neurodivergence as the reason why there is a disability.

In a similar vein I speculate it might be possible for neurological disabilities that exist but that only affects some neurotypes. Similar to how a disease can adversely affect different sexes. But that would be something future psychology will have to answer, not me.
