Depends on my goals, but effectively I could (if I understand correctly): I would almost only ever go in 0-time mode, and use it to rest, learn, or gain OP skills. Unless trying to escape someone.

I would use limited run media for super-fast travel.

The risk is real, but it depends. If it goes pubic it’s all over. If it stays private or worker-owned it stands a chance.

That’s fair. Only "free as in beer "

I’m going to stop using good free software because I read a blog post by a sketchy guy saying the guys that wrote the software are sketchy. 🙄

No material harm is described in the post. This is a drama blog.

I trust Immich and the AGPL more than this blogger.

In the last thread he posted in they’re already talking about the author/article in the OP.

Internet drama truly is a flat circle.

Same? Like does no one remember being 12, or did they just block it out?

I ain’t got no empires, jack.

But your criteria for a state being a “good” one is that it has resisted a bad one. I’m sure anyone with two brain cells to rub together can understand how that doesn’t follow. As for why some folks might not like it, I could just vaguely gesture at all the western media that repression of speach and thought there and ask if there’s anything reliable that can gainsay the claims. Haven’t seen it.

The above meme references a resolution that forbids NK citizens from working outside the country to send remittances back, as a part of a sanctions regime against the country for nuclear proliferation. It doesn’t forbid travel. So, you’re the liar in this case. Idk why, scarcely care.

Okay cool. So I’m sure there’s good evidence somewhere that that NK isn’t a cult of personality built around eternal president Kim Il Sung and the Kim family.

I’m here for it. Lay it on me.

Yeah that’s cool. Which is part of why I don’t get why North Korea gets any fucking love. I mean, times are hard for everyone I’m sure but aesthetics aside they don’t seem any more “socialist” than the “national” socialists. Even in all the dubious circumstances where a communist country had a presidential effectively served for the length of his natural life, aside from a brief interlude by Raul Castro none that I can recall have shown dynastic tendencies.

I’m willing to accept that there’s been some exaggerations made about how bad the DPRK is.

That doesn’t mean I think it’s good.

And obviously false memes like the OP don’t convince me that there is any sincerity in its defenders.

Some folks think you just gotta love every country that calls itself communist, or voices opposition to the US, like a fun house mirror version of conservative nativism.

Crazy how it makes sense when you read it.

It’s better because it’s life. Life is the medium of all value, everything else is physics.

And I don’t think prisons should be abusive torture chambers either. Revenge is poison. Prison should exist to separate the dangerous and harmful people from society, and to reform them as able.

Against, regardless of crime. Regardless of the system used to kill. Regardless of the system used to convict or identify the criminal. Even if they are unrepentant and said they’d do it again. Even under a perfect justice system.

Now life in prison, sure.

$2m bond for memeing too hard? Gtfo, I hope FIRE metaphorically beats all those yokels from cop to prosecutor to judge. No less than three public officials with not possibly more than 2 brain cells between them.

I like Aegis.

There are so many 2D barcode formats.

Congratulations, you’re not an asshole. 🙃

Also apparently it’s already been forked 🎉

That AI use stunts mental capacity and learning. That handing kids iPads doesn’t make them good at computers. Other stuff too probably, but I’ll wait for more studies to come out. Your question is basically “Which of your hot takes do you think will be vindicated in the next decade?”
