Yeah. I’m actually kind of upset that I have to type ‘noai’. That should be the standard.

That’s why city voters, especially homeowners, have to go to council meetings and speak up. Call for a public vote on it.

Just remember your opsec. If/when (assume when) someone shoots the molotov bot down, make sure it doesn’t have a serial number that can be tied to you, or any data connection in its logs that connects to you. Don’t use your phone or any device you can’t immediately destroy (i.e. do not be tracked by the MAC either) to connect to it.

My suggestion, buy a cheap laptop from a pawnshop/cash converters type place, connect to the drone only from a Starbucks or McD’s. When you make the drop, either plunge the drone down into the fire, or get it to a safe location away from you that you’ll be able to get to without being tracked. Dismantle the laptop as much as possible, ditch all radios into public trash cans (preferably within an hour of normal pickup).

It’s not a gotcha. It’s a decent cash flow to the city if he wants to se the real estate - and that’s before they tax him, and sue him again if he evades,

Well, it should be that the City Council refuses the permits, and if Musk does it anyway, the City either bulldozes the building, or sues him until the building is removed. So either the building comes down or the municipality makes a pile of cash off the bastard.

I hope that the people of Memphis can force the city council to refuse any extensions to the permit. We need to make sure that their actions are made public, and hopefully, people can break the companies.

I feel like our current political climate might make this an interesting exercise on a regular basis. If we could use a botnet on Google Maps with spoofed GPS data, could we, say, direct a bunch of traffic away from a place where certain government agencies are acting?

I mean, I use SeaMonkey still, and that’s the direct descendant of Netscape Communicator. So at least some of us are close.

They don’t want you exploring anymore. Exploration would take you away from their profitable walled garden.

Rorschach was an ass. He was basically a monster. That refusal to remain silent in the face of overwhelming horror makes him a hero.

Ozymandias should have been brought to justice for the murders he committed. He should have been publicly broken, the people he killed or caused to be killed tied to his actions, and his horrible scheme made public to everyone on Earth.

The only hero is Rorschach. He’s still a horrible human being.

Seriously. It’s genuinely making me worry about the few past interactions I had with him as the guy who created Jill of the Jungle and ZZT. Like, what might have happened if me or any of the other kids at the computer show were alone with him? What might he have done when no one was watching?

Holy shit. I honestly can’t believe people are willing to actually openly support that shit.

As others have said, Hacker News.

I mean, people who don’t want their questions or answers included in an LLM won’t use SO. When people want to ask a question and not be shut down or berated, they’ll probably end up on HN.

I’m still looking forward to a new browser engine, separate from Chrome and Gecko. The politics can be debated later, but we need something to break the Google stranglehold. Let’s just be real about this, KHTML, Dillo, Links, and Goanna aren’t doing it. Opera & Vivaldi aren’t going to resurrect Presto.

So what then, other than Ladybird?

Well, I guess I’d have to use a fork of… oh, wait a second, I’ve already been alternating between Pale Moon, SeaMonkey, LibreWolf, and Firefox along with Tor and Links.

I just would be using less of Firefox and more of LibreWolf. And when Ladybird is ready, I’ll use that and dillo.

I almost hope so. But with the speed of M.2 and other formats, I wonder how much is going to end up being swap space use.

Fortran, all day every day. Because every byte of the 1969 code is there for a reason.

I just use old JPEGs. Not JPEG2000, not PNG, not WebP, not JPEG XL.
