A firearm is very much a tool in some non-combat applications. Ranching, for instance.

lol nice, another fellow user of the term “meatspace”. I find the term quite self explanatory, but I often have to explain it to people when I allow it into my vernacular.

They are still bleeding edge. Samsung is making really impressive strides, but TSMC is simultaneously not resting on their laurels.

Their security guarantees involve “we will melt our chip foundries to slag if the PRC invades”. That’s not a joke. That’s an official element of their strategic defense policy. They are pointedly tying the bleeding edge of semiconductor manufacturing - which corresponds to a very fucking big chunk of the global economy - to their sovereignty and territorial integrity. And it’s frankly an extremely shrewd policy.

It dildoes

He’s actually on the very short list of “republicans I actually kinda respect somewhat” - Adam kinzinger and Liz Cheney too, largely because they very clearly do not like fascists, even if I strongly disagree with a TON of their politics.

I stopped supporting the ACLU when they wrote an op-ed supporting Citizens United.

They have their heads firmly up their asses on a handful of fairly crucial issues.

Did that comp package actually get passed by the board? If so: Lmao jesus christ every single one of those fuckers deserves to be absolutely fleeced

Codeberg is great too

Ah whoops, you’re right

While annoying, that’s absolutely less of a showstopper than discovering a lithography issue like big blue (that’s IBM) Intel has discovered (and who knows exactly how long ago they knew about the oxidization issues)

On your next OS reinstall, perhaps consider using an atomic distro. They’re WAY harder to break in this fashion - primarily because you can just roll them back to the previous known-good state.

Edit: genuinely curious what the downvotes are for - I thought atomics were quite popular here?

please enjoy this Wikipedia rabbithole :)

Idaho and Oklahoma are real bad, despite Texas and Florida getting a lot of press because their governors are noisy about their regressiveness

Oooooo. I had not heard of that. Sounds nifty. Thanks for the tip!

And WINE and friends definitely won’t cut the mustard for you? Might be worth checking out, at least.

One of the funny things about the whole MAGA thing is that they’re clamoring for a return to something like the 50s or 60s… but only the shitty parts. These idiots seem to be under the impression that everything will be better once we re-implement institutionalized racism and sexism, but ignore the fact that the “better times” they want to bring back ALSO included like a 90% tax rate for the wealthy, and pensions for, like, literally everyone (or more accurately, every white male). But of course, that’s communist talk, and we can’t have that!
