Me in 1991, watching Star Trek: The Next Generation:
"Oh boy, I can't wait until the 21st century. Touchscreens EVERYWHERE!!!!"
Me in 2024:
"Oh dear heavens, not another stupid touchscreen!!! AAAAAAAAAH!"

My first thought: that photo looks familiar.
Then I read the caption.
Then I noticed the Oracle building.
Advantages of right to repair. You can take your device apart to check what has been added along the supply chain.
Right to repair is now a security issue.

This is an excellent point,
though I doubt that anyone has ever derived much happiness from suing the Mossad.
What I meant was:
Technically speaking, you can always take apart and inspect a device in your possession. But e.g. sharing information about it publicly might get you sued by the OEM.
This is something that private individuals and companies worry about, but not intelligence agencies.

Serial Ephemera
Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its...serialephemera (Tumblr)

It should come as no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention that I've grown disillusioned with capitalism over the past several years. What's interesting to me though is that any time I express this publicly, there are no shortage of capitalists who falsely assert that I am claiming that communism is the ultimate solution to everything. This is a false dichotomy.
I am not saying I have the answers to the world's problems. I just have eyes to see that the emperor has no clothes.

Hey #Unix folks recommend me your favorite games that can run in the terminal that aren't:
1) the most basic boring arcade stuff like snake or missile command
2) roguelikes/dungeon crawlers (love em but there's no lack of those)
3) chess, backgammon, etc., more meaty board games sure but there's already a million easy to find ways to play chess in a terminal
edit: 4) IF, I know where to find plenty of that, forgot this one
This is for my machine with no gui so when I say terminal I mean terminal not just like "text based and looks like it'd be in a terminal maybe".

are you certain? It could last I checked!
[PRINT_MODE:TEXT] in data/init/init.txt
@via unreachable I didn't have an init folder under data. I added it and got the following when I launched it, I got the following error:
Display not found and PRINT_MODE not set to TEXT, aborting.
@me it looks like Debian moved stuff around; try editing /usr/share/games/dwarf-fortress/gamedata/data/init/init.txt
Change [PRINT_MODE:2D] to [PRINT_MODE:TEXT], and you should get curses output.

"Oh. You need revenue? You'll get revenue."
I say that, as I pull out a singular quarter coin out of my back pocket, and load it into a device, similar to a handgun in its shape. I aim the device in the general direction of their ship and shoot. The coin, almost instantly being accelerated to near-light speeds, pierces their ship and severely damages their oxygen systems, one of the engines and the fuel tank, leaving them effectively stranded in space on a ship that will lose its air soon. Hey, at least they got their revenue, am i right?
