Love this idea! I’ve come around to the idea of releasing some of my physical copies into the wild so they can find new readers and this sorta fills the gap of still wanting them around. A 3D version of this had occurred to me as particularly impactful. A big virtual library of every book I’ve ever read and 3D scanned trinkets/memories I let go of rather than hoard. My own virtual “rich man’s study.”

You can buy a Pixel 7a which has two and a half years of software support remaining on Ebay for under $200.

We voted for independent redistricting in Utah a while back. They turned our progressive stronghold into the center of a pinwheel, but recently a judge ruled against that map. Utah is probably gonna be 3rd after Texas and Cali in a lot of these headlines soon, even though we only have one seat in dispute and the most cut and dry redistricting situation.

But is it bidirectional? I hate when I pick up an adapter only to find it doesn’t support chicken soup to HDMI. Like my PC has chicken soup out, not HDMI, that’s why I need an adapter FFS.

Me disassembling and reassembling a pen during a big meeting. It’s either that or I click it the entire time, your choice.

Holding your own certs and constantly reviewing your and your users threat models. Cloudflare’s excessive control comes from them being a proxy.

Naturally, yes.

Just did it for a tractor. Was not fun.

Can you FUCKING IMAGINE? Can you FUCKING IMAGINE, MOTHERFUCKER?

I zoomed in on the pfp cause I wasn’t certain lol.

A notable exception to equal opportunity law in the US us that you are allowed to discriminate against an individual on the basis of their age, as long as it’s not old age.

Every copy of Marling’s books I’ve bought includes a shout out to slrpnk.net in the ‘What is Solarpunk?’ section at the beginning. So let’s call it reciprocal. I haven’t read my copy of Neon Riders yet but I absolutely recommend Murder in the Tool Library and The Missing Mermaid.

Denver had Feline Leukemia and was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma. We had to put him down earlier today. He was a very sweet and screamy buddy.

I don’t mean to get off topic but effective synopsis of media is a massive value add. Making ideas cross platform AND cross media types is helpful, not detrimental. Advertisements are your enemy, not viewers.

Noem’s face crawling across the floor was horrifyingly fantastic. And the dogs…

Gaming on Linux is flourishing. Achievable migration for most games. Biggest niche asterisk from my perspective is VR. Already a technical pain in the ass to get working reliably/efficiently on Windows. Throw Linux into the mix and expect to have a hell of a time configuring and troubleshooting.

I’m not super informed on these systems, but looks like evaporative cooling does account for a lot of water consumption. Probably also explains why freshwater is used (to avoid mineral and other deposits.)

That’s exactly why I hopped back on windows for my desktop. I’ve put off fixing it for longer than I should.

Fuck no. Folding a flag like this before burning is how you respectfully retire it. Piss on it, ball it up, throw it in the fire, then piss on it while it burns. Sing union dixie or some shit while it burns for added effect.
