There’s also that things have shrunk enough and that takes more precision and specialized tools to repair. And there’s also that some people, myself included, have absolutely no business messing around with capacitors and the like. It is just not everyone’s skillset, and that’s okay, we live with other people who cover what our personal skills don’t, and it comes with very lethal consequences if messed up. Which is also another reason that companies don’t like people tinkering with the insides of things; electricity does not care who you are and if not respected it can and will kill you, start a fire, etc. It’s one of the reasons companies don’t like people messing with the insides of electronics; bad PR and lawsuits if someone gets hurt.

I keep thinking that subscribing to communities in mastodon would ideally have the top level posts “reposted” by the community account and the comments on the posts in the replies to the posts. Does it work that way now or no?

I feel like an additional major danger here is putting them in conditions where disease can spread rapidly, then pointing to them being hurt by an outbreak and using the very situation they put them in as evidence that “immigrants are diseased” or the like, to fuel further persecution of immigrants both inside and out of the camp.

Making internal lists and data and eliminating public facing data aren’t incompatible. In fact, they’re horrifyingly compatible.

I mean, it didn’t. They aren’t the ones suffering, their son is. They got off scot free.

I don’t get why they don’t just have like, install cards with cheaper but slower storage on them for smaller game devs or extra large games that require installation to the system first before it can run. Seems like the in-between of key cards and full speed game cards which still might be faster than downloads and also helps game preservation by having the game actually on the card. Kind of like CD ROM or floppy disc games on PC.

As someone disabled, I have a bad feeling about how they’ll decide which groups of people get the placebo vaccine…

Elite Dangerous, Rimworld

Why didn’t he use the tow truck?

Just because something is out of my control doesn’t mean I’m not responsible for or guilty of it, though.

A shame; the way they make their open worlds with lots of little things to collect and do are oddly pleasant to play for that. Definitely something only I really enjoy, I realize, of course.

Friend is now playing Skyrim. *few minutes pass* Friend is now playing Skyrim. *few seconds pass* Friend is now playing Skyrim. *two seconds pass* Friend is now playing Skyrim. *30 minutes later* “Oh looks like they finally got it work-” Friend is now playing Skyrim.

Yeah, the whole no public charges thing I think all countries have will lead to a lot of people with disabilities dying when Medicaid is cut off, if not a repeat of Aktion T4 in the USA. I don’t see a good future for anyone disabled in the USA. The situation is grim, at best.
