I recently read Titanium Noir and enjoyed it quite a bit too, that’s another good one.

-> booting emacs as an OS

Keep in mind that autism is a spectrum

I feel the same way about any machine that isn’t a Linux laptop with fully implemented hardware support. I can’t stand macos or windows anymore.

In Apple’s defense though, they have better accessibility than anyone else - hands down. That’s about all they do right IMO.

Same, though I think I also picked up SUSE and slackware around the same time

I just read Naam Ramez’ Nexus series recently and loved it. It’s high tech near future stuff, you might also like Daniel Suarez and Linda Nagata as well as William Gibson or Neil Stephenson.

Welp. I guess we’re going mask off on our foreign propaganda now too.

Yes, yes it can.

Whiteness won’t help here, this dude attacked the owner class. He’s going to be smeared then locked up for the rest of his life.

What remains to be seen now is whether he gets better medical care in prison than he did via publicly available insurance.

Propublica is funded by recurring donations from a wealthy couple. Common dreams is subscription and donation driven. Relying on the wealthy to fund free content isn’t sustainable at scale.

“The press is complicit in crippling American social problem Y”

Well yeah, no shit. The press is owned by the owner class and used to convince Americans that Y is necessary so that the profit firehose never ceases gushing into their ever growing pool of wealth.

I’m betting on a facial recognition hit from the social media firehoses

Because high quality content needs income to continue existing, and you generally get that income via a subscription or the people making your content run out of money and go get jobs.

Edit: just look at what’s happened to journalism over the last 30y if you’re having a hard time understanding why paying journalists and other writers is important. Very few high quality outlets have survived, and they’re largely on life support if they’ve not been bought up to push some billionaire’s politics.

Why take the rest of the planet down with us? Hack into the bioweapons labs and release those.
