I’m more concerned about the non-consensual scraping causing excess load on the servers. The taking of content without license to train their energy-wasting autocomplete that is being used to for little commercially but to try to cheapen labor and pocket the money is a problem too. But I hate having servers impacted by their bullshit.

This explains our instance having perf issues.

Another (mostly joking) suggestion: Create propaganda supporting use of free, [libre,] open-source software and esoteric operating systems (like Plan9). While this is not directly related to conventional nation-state-vs-nation-state or political-ideology-vs-political-ideology topics generally central to propaganda, it may encourage people to make the digital and physical world a stranger place.

All woodpeckers are just really good at functioning with chronic brain damage.

Oh, absolutely. The thing that is weird is being non-x86 hardware and explicitly implementing the translation layer in hardware that has minimal field configurability (they did have the capability of loading something similar to microcode). It makes sense in some ways (performance being a big one) but, seems like it would be vulnerable to potential changes in the external ISA.

Possibly but the CPU was pretty crazy. It used “code morphing” to translate x86 instructions to its internal ISA, something that just seems a bit ridiculous to do at the hardware level.

Fujitsu Lifebook P-2046. It was semi-rugged with a magnesium alloy chassis but, the real awesome bit was the Transmeta Crusoe processor. It was super power efficient (~15hr between charges with the extended battery) and performed decently. The thing was really ahead of its time.

The Southern Baptists are Nazis.

And slavers. Literally. The Southern Baptist sect of Christianity only exists because in 1845 they wanted chattel slavery to not be a sin and to support its expansion. They are not good people and never have been.

Nah. Johnny respected consent.

Anti-electoralism is mathematically indistinguishable from accelerationism. It may (possibly) have a different motivation but, it results in the same outcome.

Accelerationism is a religion.

Hard disagree. The data show clearly that willful lack of engagement with the electoral system has caused a measurable increase harm. Not the only tool that one should be using, nor the most impactful, but it is an important tool because letting the oppressor win unopposed only helps the oppressor.

#1 has a point. If you can physically touch it, it is made out of chemicals.
