Narrow, old, and irrational!

This is how you treat wanna be despots and dictators. Remove them from power, put them on trial then throw them in jail for their crimes.

Well, a piece of shit can become liquid shit, and liquid shit can become aerosolized. So, yes it’s possible for someone to be shittier than a piece of shit.

The right to repair. It’s going to require the ability to make changes to the software on the vehicle. At a minimum the ability to replace the public encryption keys used to communicate with the servers. The bootloader and software is probably locked behind signing keys; so you need to be able to disable or add your own keys. I doubt anyone has access to the full protocols used to communicate with the servers. So, the full technical standard need to be released (which is never going to happen) or reversed engineered through unencrypted traffic analysis and reverse engineering the software.

A good right to repair law could require some of that be releasable while the company is still active or all if the company goes belly up. IIRC there was a smaller EV company that went bankrupt and there was a concern that once the servers were shutdown the vehicles would be bricked. Not sure what happened in the end. In any case, cars as IOT is the stupidest idea ever created.

Neat buuUUUuuut.

Does Revolt have federation?

As of right now, Revolt does not feature any federation and it is not in our feature roadmap.

[…]

What can I do with Revolt and how do I self-host?

[…]

You can self-host Revolt by:

• Using Docker Compose and our recommended guide.
• Building individual components yourself from the source code.

It’s basically a bunch of islands.

New D&D meme just dropped: Okay, boomer wizard.

I only got one thing to say to those judges cancelling their retirements and it’s thank you for your continued service.

But they could be shitting right next to you! Menacingly!

What is up with this article? The author didn’t provide the film’s plot until the last paragraph.

The film “The Atheist” is directed by Mohamed Gamal El Adl and produced by Ahmed El Sobky. It deals with issues of religious extremism and atheism and attempts to present a special view that atheism sometimes results from overthinking religious issues, and on the other hand, religious extremism leads to excommunicating society. It took about 3 years to produce the film and obtain a screening permit, according to the director’s statements.

Sounds like a shit-show to me.

Oh. My. Gawd. All it needs is some pickle juice and Sriracha sauce.

I’ve never made one with Sunny D, but a screwdriver is pretty tasty.

It’s common for blogs and some news outlets to include an image with each article. It may or may not be relevant.

I had searched for a couple of the roasters and they either de-listed the products or pulled the page from their website.

Anyway the FDA recall talks about canning low acid foods, and how the manufacturer hadn’t filed the proper paperwork on their process.

True, but you’re not going to pop the top on one of those then start sipping.

Maybe in the sense that Coke and Pepsi are the same product. From reading their website it looks like they partner with different roasters to make canned cold brew.

It’s coffee that’s been brewed then canned in a soda can. Your whole bean and pre-ground coffee that comes in a bag is fine.

They did encourage people to burn pride flags. Just sayin’ it is a “pride” flag.

That depends. Are you looking at preserving the music without loss of information? Then you need to use a lossless format like flac. Formats like aac, mp3, opus can throw away information you’re less likely to hear to achieve better compression ratios. Flac can’t, so it needs more storage space to preserve the exact waveform.

You can use a lossy format if you want. On most consumer level equipment, you probably won’t notice a difference. However, if you start to notice artifacting in songs, you’ll need to go back to the originals to re-rip and encode.

OMG, it’s an actual Jesus themed spirit board. 🤣 The instructions are just divine:

How to use the Holy Spirit Board

The Holy Spirit Board is the only board that you and your friends can use to communicate directly with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ either in a group or by yourself!

1. Place the game board on a table or other sturdy, flat surface.

2. Place the Magic Cross on the board.

3. Have everyone lay thine hands upon the Magic Cross, and say the following prayer:

“Oh Magical Jesus, please guide our hands to answer our questions, Amen!”

4. Next, ask Jesus a question. It can be any question you want! Jesus knows everything!

5. Let the Holy Spirit guide your hands to move the Magic Cross around the board. You can ask a “yes or no” question, or, let the Magic Cross spell out your answer one letter at a time!

When Jesus has answered all your questions, don’t forget to say goodbye!

And remember: anyone who says the Holy Spirit Board doesn’t work is both a liar and a sinner in the eyes of our Lord. Amen.

Edit: there’s even a website with a video promoting it:
