I totally agree, but not with its feasibility. Wouldn’t this only be possible in a non-globalized world with far fewer humans where everyone could grow their own food and be self-sufficient within their communities? I’m pretty sure I can’t get my lentils locally. Similar reasoning my other foodstuff; waste is pretty much the standard. Or I’m just making excuses because I’ve grown accustomed to the convenience of getting all my stuff in one place.

I recently went to the store to buy some pastries before closing—you can already know where I’m going with this. The pastry cupboard was empty so I went to check the lady who cleans them out. They were all in three big boxes stacked on top of each other, filled with soon to be thrown pastries. I took two and paid full price, knowing how ridiculous this is in contrast with the rest having been thrown in the trash 10 minutes later. I’d much rather go a day or two without food knowing that nothing gets wasted and no one goes hungry than what shameful consumerist nonsense we have now.

Hope you got some lush greenery near you as well.

I take pictures of insects to deal with this perpetual nonsense. In the forest things make sense again: https://www.smetterling.eu/, enjoy.

you won’t be able to watch videos on Zen if you’re on Windows.

Videos work fine.

Joffrey Barratheon to prison, nice.

The Firefox forks that I use:

• LibreWolf ships with uBlockOrigin by default.
• Zen browser for power users who want lots of out of the box features and customization. An especially excellent browser for users who migrate from Vivaldi. Caveat, as with most feature-rich things, the line between bloat and feature can be a bit blurred.

If anyone could provide an AMD email to ask for a statement concerning this issue, that would be nice.

And soon women will wear those kind of glasses too to scan men for facial recognition and see if they’re flagged for secretly recording, convictions, … A huge discussion starts about privacy and data.

That’s actually a very good point. Glasses such as these could indeed be used preventively as shitty behavior dash cams.

There is generally no such consent required in public in most countries

Not when one is a part of a crowd, but when the focus is directly on someone, consent should be asked.

Even if the LED is visible, is this enough to consider it consensual?

No. That would mean everyone in the world would have to be up-to-date with technological “advances”, and that everyone would have the assertiveness to explicitly deny someone’s attempt at filming / uphold their right to privacy. Not everyone is up-to-date, and definitely not everyone has the assertiveness, nor is there an equal balance of power between two parties. E.g., I know for sure that a lot of elder people walking in the forest would like to speak up to younger obnoxiously loud morons, but they don’t because they know many people are too weak/underdeveloped/self-centered to handle criticism well, and therefore they remain silent out of fear for being physically assaulted.

when the man’s team loses a sports game

I’ve never understood why so many people are so goddamn obsessed with sports teams*. Even highly educated otherwise bright people. I enjoy playing soccer, or many other sports, but I don’t care in the slightest which team wins or loses in these big competitions. Though, as a former LoL player I watched tournaments too and had a preference for underdogs, and competed myself in a CS 1.6 clan, but at the end of the day sportsmanship and witnessing satisfying gameplay is what mattered the most, regardless of which team.

*The folly of pride

The Epstein cage.

Humans grew from fish thousands upon thousands of years ago. Now we can walk and talk, but we remain with the same primeval intelligence which results in stupid games little men play because we still can’t tell right from wrong.

Witty comments like these belong to the few reasons I still log onto the Web from time to time.

I’m against the systemd monopoly; the lack of choice on most major distros while other init systems are perfectly fine for the majority of users; as a consequence against the perhaps unintentional incorrect narrative that systemd is the only reasonable/modern option.

systemd has flaws, but I’m not anti.

Perfect example. This person has systemd so much on the brain I actually tagged them as weirdly against systemd some time ago. lol

“This person plays volleyball, he must hate basketball so much.”

What’s systemd? (I use OpenRC btw.)
