Either way, assuming I can find a large stick or rock, I’d have enough patience to do a manual physical uninstall and get back to my solitude. So I think I’d be pretty ambivalent.
I guess smashing the shit out of windows would be slightly more satisfying - but that’s not really the main reason I’m alone in the woods.
And yes - before you ask the obvious follow-up - I have smashed the shit out of a thinkpad in the past, they’re not as tough as people say they are; it’s mostly false bravado. Don’t be afraid to stand up to the bully (ymmv).

goruanga!
I think your argument works if someone is stealing the beef.
If they are buying it then that is directly funding that “90%”.
As i understand it it (somewhere between barely and not at all) the idea is not that It’s “expanding” in the sense of a balloon inflating into the space around it.
Its more stretching internally.
So the distance (or time it would take at constant speed) between any 2 points is geting bigger.
You could maybe also say it’d take more energy to move between the points in a set time.
There’s probably nothing outside, but the distances inside get longer.
It’s probably something to go with gravity, momentum and entropy. The actual concept of “distance” between things might not be what we think.
But all these theories give rise to the concet of large amounts ob unobserved ‘dark’ mattter and evergy, so the actual basis of currently observable fact (i.e. energy / mass) is a small fraction of what is needed for these theories to work.
edit - deleting my comment
, i didnt notice which forum.
actual answer is: showerthoughts or something?
oh i was just making a stupid joke about 2KB.
I didn’t realise there was an actual other y2k problem.
How did they get to a 32 bit problem within only 2038 years?
Oh is it like 32 bit counter of seconds or some dumb shit like that.
Stupid shortcut data structures.
That said I’d better check the RTC module in my arduino alarm clock.
It’s a clock module though so i assume it was designed by someone who gives time enough respect to store the data properly.
Year 2030 will not start before year 2029 has ended.
I think it’s not til year 2048 that we get the actual Y2K bug at which point I’m a bit less sure.
freetube?
they need to give you a 2fa device.
If they get punitive damages it might be a lot more than that.
Lawyer might do it for 0 upront and % of settlement if they think there’s a decent prospect of that.
Yes, I can live without youtube I survived the 1980s and 1990s - I’m not saying my life is or was “meaningful” though - that’ll be discernable if the maggots enjoy their dinner whenever the time comes.
I also think there were at least a few generations of humans before that, some of whom may think they led at least slightly meaningful lives.
I don’t think youtube makes anyone’s life more or less “meaningful”, it’s just a way to pass the time - but that’s just my opinion on carbon-shuffling in general. If you accept peoples own objectives instead of mine, then youtube might help them learn stuff - but even then I’d look to measure the content of their consequent actions, much more than learning in abstract. They’ve still got to put their new knowledge together with skills , practice and the real world circumstances to before anyting “meaningful” happens - and that’s due as much to their hard work as much as to their teacher.
But I do prefer to watch a few people’s videos on there as entertainment, only a few of them post on that p2p thing “lbry” or whatever so i dont use that. I will continue to watch youtube videos given the choice, and not having somethign better to do, until those people move their videos to somewhere else.
I’ve recently been finding out that freetube client removes much of the front end unpleasantness.
I’d pick any random manatee over a human.
Why? Manatees seem nicer than humans, as far as I can tell.
I don’t know that much about manatees though, given a sniff of power maybe they’d turn into arseholes too; but I think I’d rather someone else had a turn than yet more humans.
I read that with an extra “i”
In which case, yes if they can then sell you the drugs you’d need for the rest of your life.
It’s like coca-cola + insulin, from a financial perspective , complementary investments.
Control and/or ownership of the means of production should be more distributed among or more accountable to the people who use those means.
Normally I like to treat questions like telephone calls; ignore them for as long as you can and hope they go away.
I guess that is basically defensive but maybe “passive defensive”.
It’s what I do to viruses too.
Yep to all these other people.
They nose.
shareware - I mean they probably didn’t make much money.
But apogee, epic, id all came fom releasing shareware initially.
but also nethack and all that stuff.
I can’t really remeber how it worked, but i think you got these bundles of paper stapled pamphlets for free with hundreds of shareware packages listed with a few lines of text describing each one.
If you didn’t have BBS, you sent a real mail back to a distributor and they send you disks in the post ffor a fairly small charge.
Some shareware was so good the magazines had to cover it (for example, doom)
Also i think there just werent as many big budget titles back then (on PC),
Consoles probably had most of the money.
elite 2 was massive, but still only 1 bloke i think.
Samuel L Jackson was actually played by Alec Guinness in blackface(+CGI).
And as for Carl Fisher . . .
