“Goodbye Horses” intensifies

Southern Hemisphere. It’s late spring there.

Vulture or Type-10 for me. Especially at T-10 with moar spoiler.

Get the permit for Shinrarta Dezhra and go to Jameson Memorial. Every ship, weapon, and module all in one convenient location.

Same. Almost every autist I know who has any interest in politics is very strongly leftist. It’s the sense of justice and disdain for obvious bullshit, I suspect. At least it is for me.

I’ve been saying that about Twitter and Reddit from the beginning. Both have been platforms responsible for significant progressive organization. The Arab Spring would likely not have happened without Twitter. Conservatives know they cannot compete in the “marketplace of ideas”, so their only means to compete is to silence the competition by dismantling the platforms progressives use to organize and communicate their ideas.

I earnestly believed that quicksand was going to be a far more prevalent danger in my life than it has.

Can hear this image.

Work! Glory to your houuuuuuse!

I know. The keyboard I have on Android lacks a backslash. I did just find it on the Samsung keyboard, though, so

C:\DOOM\DOOM.EXE

C:\DOOM\DOOM.EXE Edit: Fixed wrong slashes because crappy Android keyboard was missing it. Swapped keyboard.

Your comment misses the very important point that nobody who experienced this issue had the clairvoyance to screenshot their cleared profile on Day A to prove that their comments were restored on Day B, C, or D. You’re expecting someone to have explicitly predicted that exact circumstance and deliberately documented it before it ever happened to them. That’s like complaining to your neighbor they they can’t prove the scratch wasn’t already in their car door after they watch you hit it with your own.

Among others, yes. Don’t forget Ruzzia.

Are you saying this is 1) your preferred outcome, or 2) a dire prediction based on the current fascist trajectory of many nations?

Awesome, thanks for that! So it does something akin to a doubled d in English.

So how does one pronounce the double t “tt”?

I used Linux Mint for several years on a dual-boot laptop. I rarely found myself booting Windows. While there was a learning curve, Mint was fairly accessible out of the box and was generally a delight to use. Until it wasn’t. At some point, the drivers for my video card updated, and just flat broke everything. And I can’t really use a computer on which I can’t see the desktop. I waited. And waited. A fix for the driver may have eventually come, but after awhile, booting into Windows just became my default, until eventually I just wiped the Linux partition to recover the storage space.

It was fun while it lasted, and I may choose one day to give it another go for the fourth time. This wasn’t the first time I’ve had something like this happen. First time was with Fedora, and the second was Ubuntu. Each time, I had the same “it worked until it didn’t” experience, and each time it stopped working was usually some kind of broken driver making my hardware incompatible.

Blazing Saddles.

Here’s my example: I subscribed to Paramount Plus explicitly for Star Trek content. The week I subscribed, they pulled all of the non-Abrams films. So I got to watching other stuff. Eventually, they brought all of the films back. Cool, right?

So I finally get around to Prodigy, a show made for Paramount Plus. Two episodes in, and it vanishes. No announcements or warnings that that show was just going to disappear. It’s gone. Because “it wasn’t popular enough”. A show that only existed on that one platform was pulled off of that platform with absolutely no other legal way to view it. Content that I specifically signed up for that platform to see, and now I can’t… legally. Yo ho, yo ho, me hardies.
