Laws that aren’t intended to be actually enforced, but serve as cover for a search or whatever other cop activity. Seat belt, drug, and helmet laws for example. I don’t think it’s even about tickets it’s just reason to pull you over and brow beat you for a while.

You’re telling me the state that doesn’t give a fuck if I die from gesticulates generally around suddenly cares whether I make a personal decision about my own safety?

This is coming from someone who wears his seat belt 100% of the time and gets car sick if I don’t, who has been ticketed for not wearing one even though I was.

And if there’s some issue of people making modifications to that code that should reasonably be illegal, that part could be made read-only. I can’t off the top of my head imagine what people would want to modify but shouldn’t but if it became a problem it would be easy to fix.

The problem with the computer parts is that they’re closed sourced and tivo-ized. Computers could be as flexible and tractable as mechanical parts.

If we’re talking about the 80s one I couldn’t disagree more. It has little to do with the book but as its own thing it’s perfect.

I’ve been on sway since 2019 and I’ve had fewer issues than I did on i3. The performance was an immediate improvement. Feels silky smooth like x never did. Stable as a rock.

Why don’t you just install it alongside X?

Audacious has a winamp mode and supports winamp skins.

If Democrats actually wanted to win every election from now until forever, this would do it for them. Imagine worrying how you’re going to feed your kids and then the mail arrives “BTW you’ve qualified for food stamps for the last 18 months, here they are” instant loyal voter.

But they won’t

If you like your feudal lord, you can keep them!

Likewise, the IRS already knows everything about me. If I qualify for, say, food stamps, just have the IRS send me the food stamps. Don’t make me jump through hoops when I’m already destitute, come on.

This would make tens of thousands of jobs redundant and make many social programs much more efficient.

Buy 8 tb hard drives and fill them up. It’s cheaper than streaming even if you managed to fill one every year.

It’s fucked that they have to stand up and announce “yes I vouch that the Asian community is offended by this word”. It’s like having to ask a child to put their clothes in the hamper every single day after they get home from school. Can’t you just grow up and do it without having to be asked?

I’m white, and it’s a slur. I want it gone too. Can we just quietly put our slurs away without being asked already?

Go tell the mods I Ad Homed you. I will cherish that ban.

I’m linking this thread next time someone tells me vegans are insufferable.

Find a hobby that isn’t reactionary.

Thanks for the dozen replies. I never expressed any intention to engage with you about veganism only to point out the reactionary tendencies you’re displaying.

Yes I’m ad homing you right now. That’s the purpose of my interaction and you’re actually the one derailing, from my perspective.

“Are you afraid of my debate prowess?”
You don’t get to act so smug and assured when you’re going to bat for the dominant ideology.

No, you’re a reactionary because vegans are right and you’re starting right off with the slimy “debate” techniques. It’s very clear to me that your only goal is to “look right” in front of everyone, rather than actually engage.

A reactionary hobby.

There’s no good, non reactionary reason to be seeking out arguments with vegans.

Do any of these have:

• As nice a keyboard, that I don’t have to worry about spilling a cup of coffee on.
• Track point or similar.
• Ability to survive a fall down a flight of stairs.
• 4:3 or 16:10 aspect ratio.
• Ports.
  While being built with repairability in mind?

I day dream about stuffing the guts of a modern laptop inside with a USB hub and an enormous battery, but that’s a huge undertaking.

Zabadoh is talking about drugs I’m pretty sure
