I’m surprised I can’t find any actual abacus input devices. Like, shouldn’t there be an abacus with usb that sends bytecode

Braziiiiiiiiil

If you’re in the US, you could point to the news. Even garden variety libs should be a little nervous about the increasing police state

Please don’t be silly. If you’re in the US, you should absolutely never be “interrogated” by police. Get a lawyer. Always. No matter how innocent and clever you are. You should be terrified of the police, not plagiarism machines.

Also unsurprising that the stochastic parrot simulation is fucking up its mission of being a propaganda machine

Sometimes you need to enable something in the bios (virtualization? i forget what it’s called)

IDK if you can have a live windows usb, but virtualbox is great for that sort of thing.

Krita is nice. IDK how it compares to commercial products, but ctrl-c + ctrl-v works like you’d expect it to

With ring cameras, it’s every municipality

to search man pages was a gamechanger

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is not in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Is that with flatpak?

I just make little videos for myself a couple times a year. So I’m far from a pro. But holy shit kdenlive and blender are powerful programs (blender moreso, but kden is still pretty cool)

Ah, cool. That sounds useful for like if you’re recording at a protest/action

Wow, too bad they didn’t at least open-source it. Take it off the app stores and disconnect the cloud service, but at least let others develop it

The same company (Xiaomi) that makes the car Ford’s CEO drives

Hexbear is also “trans focused”

Are you saying the US-Afghan war could’ve been successful? Or do you think it was successful, and somehow a result of working with ideological differences?

But the Rubicon was crossed so… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
