@kim_harding @DrHyde informing oneself about what, dumbfuck protesters being repeat offenders? Story as old as time, they block a major street, piss off everyone, cause collateral damage by blocking emergency services, creating a stressful and polluting jam and making people late for work/train/date/plane/whatever, they get a slap on the wrist with a more serious suspended sentence and then proceed to ignore that, go back to do the exact same thing and rinse and repeat until they get actual jail time. At which point people like you show up to cry about "peaceful protesters" getting jail time.

Oh, and on the topic of "informing yourself", Just Stop Oil was confirmed to be partially funded by a family of an oil magnate. They're so stupid and harmful to their cause, the actual oil lobby helps fund them to ruin the public opinion of environmental activists, and you defend them for free.

@mabs @BrodieOnLinux I thought it was neat when I accidentally used it. I was then disappointed that it only replaces the first occurrence and doesn't accept /g.

@theorytoe it was absolutely only a matter of time before someone ported Linux to WASM. All hail The System That Works Fucking Everywhere.

@icedquinn also known as "the googles project", take a guess which word "google" replaces lol

I can't find the original "dictionary" picture tho

@apophis @icedquinn autonomous drones are impossible without computers, directly remote-controlled drones can get jammed. But yeah, remotely fired lasguns are too powerful to be ignored.

@icedquinn I respect it, Dune's Shields are pretty much one of the only sci-fi shields that make sense - stop dangerous (fast-moving) things, but still allow you to grab things and breathe air.

The lasers thing is a bit of a stretch though lol

at the library with the kids and found a “high performance react web sites” book in the fiction section

@lain @piggo every time someone proposes using the market instead of regulations to punish bad players I think of takes like this one. How can we expect people to vote with their wallets if they use copium like this to not have to move their ass once every couple of years to vote for free?

@icedquinn the eternal struggle between
- all monsters of the same species are exactly the same clones and boring
- you feel compelled to catch hundreds of monsters of the same species to roll for good IVs

@pupxel now I'm very curious about the complexity because it kinda looks like 3 vertices and a `varying`.
