I know that was part of my point. Thing was mostly finalized by my birth year lmao.

Also, little off-topic but, as important as it is to computing culture, some of the gatekeepy shit put in there aged like milk. But I kind of expect that from nerd culture, especially 20th century nerd culture.

Fpv has a very storied history, yet we don't see these bombings in peacetime. Like fucking ever. Even in the U.S.

Its almost like pre-made drones are locked down and tracked, and homemade fpv quads take like 20 hours of sim time just to keep in the air.

That's before we discuss the fact that the munitions Ukraine straps to them are unobtanium for normal people.

This is really cheap if you're a military with a bunch of people, training facilities, and explosives, but still a big pain in the ass for anyone else. I guess if you have a really angry hobbiest with hundreds of man hours of flight time, and explosives knowledge you're in danger.

The only RC hobbiest that pissed off I know lives in New Zealand.

Bit of an unhinged and unreasonable nerd rant but here it goes:

The second dot com boom in the 2010s ruined us. Like holy shit. As someone younger looking down the line, living in tech bro culture, but exposed to the likes of the jargon file, y combinator and their venture capitalists literally ruined hacker culture.

We used to have a thriving culture that cherished freedom, real freedom, not freedom for the rich. What happened to the culture that spawned Windows buyback day? What of the dream that networked freedom would one day break the chains of economic heirarchy?

Like holy fucking shit. If you're not here for the love of the machine stop touching a compiler or better yet go loose your fucking hands.

The only solace is that the fuckers who are feeding us to the machine are the ones who are going to get minced first.

Spineless fucks.

The average person just needs to fall under a certain level of comfortability for all hell to break loose.

Unlike Hitler, this guy cant 'fix' the economy by going to war because any war big enough to bolster our already over bloated military budget would immediately end in MAD.

This isn't a reason to act like its all gonna be okay, but I'd like to think we have a better shot than 1930's Germany...

• sftp for quick shit like config files off a random server because its easy and is on by default with sshd in most distros
• rsync for big one-time moves
• smb for client-facing network shares
• NFS for SAN usage (mostly storage for virtual machines)

Publishers and companies will always want DRM

Developers should refuse to write malware.

I hate to say this but fucking good. Throwing random people in Gitmo wasn't enough to piss the people off to do anything, because the only thing that would be enough is when they fuck with everyone's money.

I hate the "fuck you I got mine" attitude so fucking much.

Steam does most of the fucking around for you these days.

How often do cis people with an M on their birth certificate get perscriptions to estrogen?

As someone on the other side, I hope you guys start allowing asylum seekers, especially those of us who are endangered by this administration.

I'd like to get out before I end up on a federal list for taking estrogen...

Are they not both VoIP/Im clients?

Or is it only a viable alternative if they recreate the UI because god forbid it look different?
