People can’t recur.

You’re not the boss of me!

The only thing slowing down the transition from fossil fuels to renewables is the same impediment it has always been: oil money protecting itself.

I find your water discipline lacking. May Shai Hulud forgive you.

The free part was an oversight they’re been working to remove.

The FCC hasn’t really punished anyone for not having a license other than those that are really bothersome/disruptive or are doing jamming. But like, if there’s civil unrest, the laws probably don’t matter anymore so you can just ignore the law.

Thanks for reminding me of this movie. :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_Up_the_Volume_(film)

Yes, Rafael suffered a 99-1 loss. Guessing he’s the 1, so a total loss.

Who’d have thought WWIV was so prescient as to when it would become re-relevant.

Time to dust off my SysOp skillset lol

Lovely

As another person replied, sounds like the Faro Plague from Horizon Zero Dawn.

That thing which runs Tesla seems like just the megalomaniac that would let that happen. I have a dark future prediction that he’ll repurpose the gigafactories for drone production. Unless something stops him I don’t see a future where one of his businesses isn’t rededicated to war manufacturing in some way.

Also: I felt thick as hell when I connected Faro and Pharoh.

Autonomous warplanes “that fly missions alongside human pilots”.

I’m sure they’ll keep the humams involved. No way they’re trying to build a drone army that won’t question orders.

It’s not hyperbole to say they’re working toward a terrestrial version of Equilibrium. At least, until they can build it in space.

Bless your heart.

They’re trying to burn the library of Alexandria, again.

Just what are you doing, mighty keyboard warrior?

Paul is that you?

There are three flowers in a vase. The third flower is green.

Technically complex wardrobes require careful removal.

Editing to add the 50501 bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/50501movement.bsky.social

50501 was the first time there have been simultaneous protests in every state capital in the US, ever. There were more than 100 people on the capital steps in my backwater state of Missouri.

Could we do better? Hell yes, but to say we’re not doing anything is disingenuous when major media outlets are owned by opponents of the protests and therefore under-reporting, obfuscating, omitting or lying about protests happening.

I’m looking into alternatives. So far Kodi is the front runner for my use. I have not decided on whether to replace roku units with raspberri pi running kodi or try the jailbreaking roku route.
