Witness me!

Those that benefit from it spend a lot of money on trying to make sure the majority of people don’t realise it’s fucking them over

It took me a long time to even register that as food

A lot of noise that reform UK bots have also gone quiet, so I’d be surprised if there’s a far right pie they don’t have their fingers in

Mostly because I thought the trailer made it look like total crap, but Civil War turned out better than expected, though it’s far from what I’d call amazing or anything

I try to avoid trailers for things I already want to see as best I can these days tbh, had too many things spoiled in various ways over the years

watches […] in […] book

Thanks hill wizard

Well there goes the final vestiges of traffic I guess I was giving them

Welcome new lemmings arriving on the wave of this particular fuck up

Fantasy is also a genre

I’m no connoisseur, but I love me some AV gear with a VFD display

Reminder these people know full well the implications of such a photo, and will have done a lot to avoid such photos ever happening

If you see one, there’s probably a thousand they avoided

Me causing it with kombucha instead of beer for a change

I think the word originally comes from boats if I’m not mistaken!

Only one of the spindles will be active at a time, the one collecting the tape from the other, if the player has an auto reverse mechanism it’ll switch between them, if not, it’ll just be the one

If you were curious, there’s also a capstan and pinch roller that you won’t be able to see that is responsible for holding the tape onto the tape head and moving it along, so it’s not tension from the collecting spindle that is dragging the tape through everything.

I vaguely remember reading that they have literal ARM cortex chips in some of the most modern case RGB controllers

If we can get to an SPI and connect some kind of display, it’s conceivable that we could run DOOM, right?

Everything in moderation

The average person wants to be eating around 2,000-2,500 calories in a day unless you’re trying to put weight on or cut weight

Carbs shouldn’t make up more than about 50-60% of that

If you’re eating half a loaf of bread a day, you’re gonna have a bad time even if it’s good quality bread

Well the percentage of low quality shit is dramatically increasing because the people shitting it out don’t know the first thing about building software.

That and the more established large contingent of people see software as a means to, directly or indirectly, extract money from people and not solve problems

Well even under the current framework, we just need enough people to consistently vote for left wing (i.e. not liberal and obviously not conservative) candidates, who will seek to protect workers from this situation through a variety of ways (e.g. stronger social security to eliminate the need to labour for survival, nationalisation of the companies taking the labour so the public benefits, wealth redistribution from those who have already enriched themselves on the back of others’ work)

Failing that, history gives some examples of more extreme measures that can be employed

There’s two main reasons:

If the thing that takes the labour away from the workers is owned privately, it will not benefit the workers.

If we do not drastically change how the economy works, people not being able to work to exchange their labour for income means they starve and die

So BT now trades as BT, EE (itself the product of T-Mobile & Orange merging), PlusNet and now TalkTalk

Would be much less problematic if it was still publicly owned; thanks again Thatcher…
