I still do all this shit. I'll never switch to those DRM infested subscription services bullshit

“Get down and shut up. Turn off the lights! We never should have started shit with our warship, I knew that was taking it too far! Now he’s here, crushing beer cans on his head and calling himself ‘loco.’

more credulous and gullible

lmao of course there is, it's called /r/StarCitizen

Though admittedly /r/ChatGPT is indeed up there

the whole thing seem completely unserious

Because the whole thing is incredibly overrated.

I don't care that much tbh because while the "gaming community" is indeed dogshit (personally I've stopped playing any sort of public multiplayer game since voice audio became the norm anyway), we also seem to be in a golden age of independent awesome video games, including specifically ones with dialogue and story. And the small sub-community of players of those are usually much saner and welcoming.

It's a bad autotranslate of "suspendez", which literally indeed could be translated as "hang"; but in the context of the tweet means "suspend" - as in, remove from police service.

You see the same thing with kids and realizing that meat is pieces from the cadavers of sentient beings. Example here (and the parenting subs on :reddit-logo: are full of similar examples, including various psychos suggesting the parents lie to the kid about it).

I realized that every counterargument is just obvious bullshit and it’s an extremely simple black-and-white issue

:this:

The issue isn't complicated; it's crystal clear, morally speaking. Even the fucking carnists know it, too - directly or subconsciously. That's why they're so pissed off by vegans themselves, they know they're in the wrong and they don't want to be reminded of it.

some fun comments

Those were not fun comments :kombucha-disgust:

Cows are good people

Yes they are. People living in modern societies that eat their corpses - or that of any animal - are creepy weirdos. Stands for drinking their fucking milk, too - that milk is for baby cows.

Sysadmin shit, to host independent communities and servers. Not cloud BS, hosting on dedicated servers instead - from at least slightly more censorship-resistant hosts - or even home servers (greater legal risk), and load-balancing properly. High level (as in: removed from the math, not "advanced" - just get a handle on what's secure) encryption stuff, to implement secure communication that does not rely on an easy common target (custom apps potentially, including mobile apps for the zoomers - even if they're mostly just a chat frondend to GPG; I recommend user-enabled NFC key sharing if you go this route - tap a few buttons, put your smartphone against a comrade's phone, boom, trusted key exchange - do not trust smartphones for anything too critical though, and the same applies to windows computers or linux ones without proper full-disk encryption). Webshit stuff, to publish content and try and inform people (though mind you on that one wordpress would almost universally do the job). Cybersecurity stuff, finally, for data extraction and hacktivism and the like - auditing code (or fuzztesting proprietary binaries) for flaws; not publishing them straight out and exploiting them to disrupt shit or at the very least diffuse a message.

The article suggests "otherwise-disused vintage aircraft engines and propellers", so it might simply have been cheaper / easier to find a use for those.
