Bitwarden disables some features if you self host, even if you pay the $15/year.

Except for the hard drive, ram, and video card.

We haven’t, really. Our “complete neutrality” is infested with troll farms, where people are employed to make hundreds of accounts to spread propaganda.

I’m thinking the answer is to implement a huge barrier for troll farms, but a small speed bump for real people.

It could be oauth with Steam or your cell provider, where you can make an account if you’ve spent over $250 with them. Actual credit history would work. You can combine these and allow any of them, which might let one person make 3-4 accounts, maybe, but that’s still limited enough to make things difficult for troll farms.

There is an issue where billionaires that want to influence us have absolutely absurd resources, and maybe paying $1000 per account isn’t enough of a barrier for them. But at least it gives us a chance for the bans to stick significantly more than they do now.

It’s just a thing that needs repeated basically constantly for all of us.

People were playing text-based multiplayer, effectively mmos with PvP well before Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web Browser.

http://mud.arctic.org/ this one is still around.

But why? You don’t need telnet to transfer text.

I’ll always be able to play Balatro, Factorio, and he’ll, I’d go to text based MUDs first.

I was hoping the tariffs would be good, but I certainly expected it to be a disaster otherwise.

In retrospect, it was just really bad, and his tariffs were a ham-fisted turd. He saved the demolition of the country for his second term, after he let Stephen Miller run things and got rid of anyone who was telling him no.

It’s fine. He had potential, and he really did move fast and break things to make Tesla what it was. I don’t think EVs would be where they are today without him.

The pedophile thing really was the turning point. It was possible to see before then, but it wasn’t even the event itself that did it. He just changed fast around that time period. Whether his views changed or he just started revealing and acting on them much more is debatable.

Maybe just young, because the coverage up to that point was hard to avoid.

He was probably already racist, but it really does seem like the drugs helped make him a Nazi.

It’s probably a combination of the people feeding him drugs and him drifting towards manipulators instead of people who might tell him no.

It’s always going to sound accurate. That’s what’s it’s built to do. It’s just that often the easiest way to sound accurate is to be accurate, but not always. Shortly after you forget that it’s going to fuck you.

Better not forget.

Like a wireless router?

Can your neighborhood communicate when the Internet goes down like Iran?

Yeah, acknowledging the racial component is fine, but the OP frames it in a much more productive way than @[email protected].

I have personally given the speech about how your white skin won’t save you from the ICE thugs. They’re not checking documentation. There’s no judge. And if they don’t care about proof of citizenship, why do you think they’d give a fuck about the color of your skin? That’s not much of a shield.

But this one is different, and it’s not just race. “Could easily find yourself in” hits the nail on the head. It’s not just that she’s white; it’s that you can tell what she was doing. She was turning around to leave, allowed traffic to go in front of her first, and then allowed the truck to pass before she went, not knowing the unmarked truck was ICE.

She wasn’t on the front line of a protest. She wasn’t living in a barely habitable apartment complex struggling to scrape by. We should, and often do empathize with those people as well, but they’re not as relatable.

Race might be a good chunk of why it’s so easy to empathize, but it’s not the only reason. Renee Good’s crime was turning down the wrong street.

Which treaty is the one he really wants to dissolve? I bet it’s one Russia wants dead.

repeating the same tired, thought-terminating clichés

like “both sides”

The 2020 election.

Sorry, I stopped reading where you “both sides”.

Shouldn’t it be called Microsoft 250? There are 250 working days in a year. As soon as I’m home I’m using Thunderbird or Libreoffice, certainly not the product formerly known as Microsoft Office.
