Stink, stank, stunk.

No, wait, that's not me. That's the Grinch.

I use my wife. She's an artist, and has an eye for such things.

Empty words should never be considered as a start.

No policy in the world will stop minors from using the app. I can't tell you how many "I am 18+" dialogues I clicked on when I was younger. You want access restrictions.

Do you want to scan your id every time you open the discord app?

I could do without the leather. But that sounds amazing.

Agreed. With the added bonus that we have too live in the system while we burn it down. I'm not a huge fan of the idea, but then, I'm a maintainer by nature.

I have nifty tech, yes, but I also have vaccination deniers, Nazis, and my fourth "once in a lifetime" economic crises. I'm never going to buy a house. I'm never going to retire. I'll probably never even pay off my student loans.

I personally think that, largely speaking, if imports are cheaper than local production, that’s a good thing!

I'm hardly an economist, right? But I agree with you, broadly speaking. But first covid, and now Trump round two is showing is the weakness of global integration. As long as everything goes smoothly, it's jam for everyone. But let something screw up the logistics, or someone duck up the balance of trade, and everything can go to shit really fast. There are lots of things we can't make here, but we rely on them. That is less than ideal.

I don't know that tariffs are the way to address that issue, or even if it needs to be addressed at all. O do know that the way Trump is doing it is all wrong.

I saw a smart flip phone once. Small smart screen on the outside, small smart screen on the inside, and a keypad that you could use to type with, using the forgotten skill.

I would love one of those.

I'd go with "deshittification," myself. It's not important how or why they are shit, just that they are, and the laws in question prevent us from fixing it.

The airport tried that shit on me today. I was able to make it print me a boarding pass, though.

I'm becoming a luddite in my middle age.

I think that's a feature, not a bug.

I thought the whole point of Linux was that there was one for everyone? A computer itself is an incredible potent tool, but most people just want to use Facebook and YouTube.
