  • Mission failed: Just seeing his face makes me want to strap C4 around my chest and walk into the RNC.

  • As an administration, it's a joke. As an exercise in evil, it's right on track.

  • I do like the idea of a P2P system. I used to be on ZeroNet but there were just too few people and too little content to stick with it. I hope something like this takes off.

  • It is in mint condition and that upsets me even more.

    You'd prefer it was... soiled?

  • So AI is just three Netflix executives in a trench coat?

  • Can't wait til we see the Enterprise's main view screen full of flying toasters.

  • The Undiscovered what??!? Oh, there's a final "ry". The Undiscovered Country.

  • A sort of 2D holoprogram where everyone's an NPC. Ask Quark for the "Retro Package".

  • Just wave your arms and shout. They're more afraid of you than you are of them!

  • Interesting read, thanks.

  • And TIL of the Beachy Amish, who absolutely do not go around on horsedrawn surfboards with Annette Funicello.

  • Basically, yes. EEE is a strategy developed by a dominant company whose revenue stream came from paid proprietary software and services but which embraced open standards with the goal of vanquishing the threat to their business model posed by that openness and maintaining/recovering their proprietary domination.

    Does ActivityPub being open and used by many different projects & organizations pose a threat to Piefed's business model? Is Piefed a powerful company that built that power on a proprietary model and seeks to preserve that power by embracing, extending, and extinguishing ActivityPub? With the goal of maintaining/recovering proprietary domination?

    No. So it ain't EEE.

  • 中西 圭三 - WomanNakanishi Keizō - Woman(Japanese; my Japanese only good enough to catch a few snippets)One I came to love because the guy in the room next to me when I lived in Japan kept playing it over and over until I did.

    Время и Стекло - ТролльVremya i Steklo - Troll(Russian)The Ukrainian crunk equivalent of "No Scrubs"? (IIRC read an article explaining how the song is about terrible men hitting on her)https://youtu.be/q--5Ht49vNY

    Anders Nelsson - 鬼新娘Anders Nelsson - Ghost Bride Song(Cantonese)From the soundtrack of 殭屍先生 (Mr Vampire, 1985), Hong Kong horror-comedy about the hopping dead.https://youtu.be/q9DHRNREzlk

    Tabou Combo - Konpa Mania(Haitian Creole & English; I only know a few words in Creole)A konpa track I think sampled by Wyclef Jean. https://youtu.be/McUmXoB_9yw

  • TIL that Egyptian Islamic Jihad (who assassinated Sadat) merged with Al Qaeda in June 2001. And that Ayman al Zawahiri, one of the main orchestrators of 9/11 and bin Laden's #2, come to Al Qaeda from Egyptian Islamic Jihad.

  • An obedient drone serving the monarchy? Cry me a river!
