Where have you been able to accomplish this? Any groups we can hook up with that are getting the job done? Or places online or in-person that interested and worried Americans can join the cause? Because I’m seeing a lot of theorieticals from you but nothing more. It feels more like you’re telling everyone else to do it. Maybe you’re not in the US, which would be confusing because you keep saying “we.”

What tips, in your experience, can you give everyone in achieving those relentless weekday protests you’ve been doing? Any mutual aid orgs you can point people to in order to pay bills and take care of children and not lose their job and health insurance? Or for the seniors that need safe transportation? We’re all ears. Seems like mass weekend protests should be pretty doable for most folks unless you’ve got some other trick we can all use.

My humility knows no bounds.

He’s doing an excellent job of derailing the rework of the Columbia River agreement the PNW has been working on too. Goddamnit.

Howard the Duck.

Hillary would be more fun. Or Bernie.

I saw IDE cables referred to as PATA cables in a YouTube video earlier today. “Huh, I don’t remember calling them that.” Luckily right after that they clarified that’s a more recent name for them. Still felt old.

Temporary monopolies are the governments reward to encourage new works of art and inventions. The trade off is that it’s temporary. By extending copyrights indefinitely it actually discourages new works to be created because they’re competing with more creations than ever, and nothing can be built as a derivative work. Trademarks, which Disney still owns, are protected basically indefinitely.

Also using Sync. The thing is, I’m sick and tired of being told how I should need to interact with something. This isn’t an argument against FOSS at all btw. I also pay a non-FOSS one-man-shop for my RSS reader.

My main thing is I want to bend the web to my preferences instead of the other way around. If devs like this are going out of their way to do that I’m going to make it worth their while.

Shit, I even pay the guy who keeps the Chumby servers alive. Just so I can have a flash-baswd Star Trek themed clock face active on my nightstand.

Your comment implied that folks need to pay $100 to use the app. Only $20 lets a user disable ads and any tracking associated. Otherwise if someone wants to try it or just doesn’t feel like paying they can use it for free with the potential to get a Google ad in their scroll.

Yeah, but it’s a really weird libertarian thing where everybody feels like they’re an expert in their field and also everyone else’s. It’s a lot more fun to have in my RSS feeds since I realized that.

And he knows it too.
