So we’re back to the 80s. Now, can the US market pick itself back up?

That’s how social media works, yes. Network effect is real.

Not enough masks for 2022, but you’ve captured my experience under the lockdowns.

I mean, he was imprisoned for genetic experimentation on babies without informing the parents or basically anyone else. So… I don’t think he means that in a specific way. He wants to do whatever he feels like without oversight.

If a person’s criticism is of “ethics” in general, that individual should not be allowed in a position of authority or trust. If you have a specific constraint for which you can make a case that it goes too far and hinders responsible science and growth (and would have repeatable, reliable results), then state the specific point clearly and the arguments in your favor.

I so strongly prefer the mechanical keyboard and trackball to the built-in gear that if I’m doing any serious typing, a keyboard and mouse are always attached.

Why? Unless you’re avid about the Track point, you’re going to have a USB mechanical attached.

Okay, and? It’s a proprietary browser for a company sponsoring paid search using a Russian engine. I’m quite happy to avoid.

Specifically unchecked authority. Executive orders are just as bad as legislation from the bench, or judgement by legislation. Whenever one branch of government overreaches into another’s territory, there should be hell to pay. But our system was established with the idea that the three branches would be fundamentally adversarial. The moment there’s any hint of cronyism, we’re screwed. Washington warned us against parties, others warned against the two-party system. Eisenhower warned us that the MIC would control both parties. Goldwater warned us that the MIC & the cult religions would take over.

We failed to heed the warnings. Here we stand.

If we got rid of the unconstitutional “executive order” system, this couldn’t happen.

Literally advice from Gary.

The dyslexia tango!

If it gets as difficult as it used to be on Debian and Ubuntu, I’m running back to Windows.

Let it Be? No, no. Let it Haiku.

Never heard of that tool. Thank you for sharing it!

Hi, posting from Mbin. I have Lemmy & Mastodon.

Tsuro is a very quick, Zen game. It’s tile placement and stone movement.

Obviously if you don’t like S.H., you probably won’t like The Resistance or Avalon. But from the same publisher, there’s Coup (a game of creative lying), and Grifters (an engine-builder made up of resource collection with a crime theme). I like them both and they’re very quick.

I don’t think Fluxx could lead to long term frustration, because it’s just so wild.

Catan is a classic and it’s never caused tempers in my group.

Great drawing of the xeno scum.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
