  • I have some insight for the average joe.

    When you buy an American made product its a sham 99% of the time.

    I used to run an injection molding machine for a job. And made parts for a well known brand.

    The parts where made from LG plastics from china, on a Japanese injection molding machine ran by me. That got paid $16.40 an hour, with no benefits.

    The parts said “made in America” on the mold.

    Utter sham, im all for american jobs. But its bullshit to say its made in america. When all the parts that make it are not American.

    There should be some legal president that if it says “made in america” it must be 98% american resources.

    Not some dog eggs, of well i bought some plastic from china and the machine from japan. And had the american press the button to make the part. Therefore its an american made product.

    Now im not saying all company’s are like that but majority of them are.









  • Some real talk.

    Can we just include the 4 most popular text editors on basic systems??

    Like i wanna scream when there isnt my text editor installed on a lightweight distro.

    Vi Emacs Micro Nano

    For context,

    Debian ships with nano and vi Openwrt only ships with nano

    Like cant we just include small editors. In a perfect world i would want neovim installed. But i understand its larger and has alot more dependency’s.

    So having VI isnt as good but im willing to be reasonable.

    JUST INCLUDE VI

    the reason i learned vim is because VI is installed by default on almost every distro.

    Im tempted to try emacs tho






  • Sargent McArthur eat your heart out.

    For context he wanted to send 10 nukes to make a line between Taiwan and china

    AI is too nuke happy.

    Also gotta add the infamous Computer Fraud and Abuse act 1986 was made because of the film war games.

    A high ranking offical watched war games then asked the Secretary of defense could that happen?

    And the official replied yes technically.

    Enter the most vague ordinance!

    Do you use adblock?

    CFABA violated

    The shit is so vague.

    I highly recommend the phreaking episode of darknet diary’s.


  • Its the fact of unrevokable ownership.

    I can buy and mp3 off amazon. But if amazon decides to take down the artist i spent money and lost acess to what i bought.

    If i buy the CD, i rip it and put it on my navidrome server. I own it forever, if the server explodes or somebody claims i dont own the music, i go to my storage room and pull out my BIG ASS container of CDs.

    I OWN A PERSONAL LICENSE TO MY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR MUSIC ON PHYSICAL MEDIA THAT CANNOT BE PURPOSELY OR INNCIDENTALLY REMOTELY DELETED. NOBODY CAN STOP ME FROM LISTENING TO MY MUSIC COLLECTION, NOT SOME CORPRATE FUCK RAISING A SUPSCRIPTION PRICE.

    I started a year ago collecting physical media, and i can genuinely say owning it makes it sound and look better.

    I seldom have any subscriptions, and the one thing that hurts is when i play the mental game of “ok so i could pay for it still which would cost a decent amount of money” or i could not.

    “Does this service provide me enough value for the economic loss of my personal funds?”

    But not having to “bend over” because spotify is doing evil shit and i dont want to support.

    Funny thing is i recently read about the AI bullshit and shit there doing with Spotify. Told my friends and they didnt want to leave spotify because of there playlists.

    Theres a service that takes playlists and converts them amoung services for $2.

    Both friends have been enjoying the shit about tidal! And gladly cancled there Spotify
