Judge gives rhyming rap back to #Eminem claimant
#Quote from Judge Deborah Servitto
"Mr. Bailey complains that his rep is trash 🗑️
So he's seeking compensation in the form of cash 💸
Bailey thinks he's entitled to some monetary gain 📈
Because Eminem used his name in vain 😏
...
the lyrics are stories no-one would take as fact
They're an exaggeration of a childish act
It is therefore this court's ultimate position
That Eminem is entitled to summary disposition."
Pretty smooth by the #Judge to do it in that way serving the resulting #Justice and a #Rap at the same time!
#Law and #Disorder #Fun

@punishmenthurts
Appreciate those things and even how serious it is.
At the same time, yes the time is nigh whenever you feel like "now for a bit of reading 1min for that bugger freeschool"
...maybe a hot beverage sitting next to you while you record... 🍵 ✌️ 🎤
Thank You x 10
@MooseAllain Dang I really like this -
the text could be a bit loopier *still handwritten) to be a bit clearer
I'm looking for a new job doing security assessments / research.
I spent the last 6 years building advanced security assessment capabilities around hardware/IoT, industrial, marine OT, and x86 platforms. Before that I spent 5 years as a pentester. I excel at weird and novel stuff with no template.
I'm in the UK and I'm looking for a remote full-time role.

Please get in touch if you know of any available roles! :)
@kirkman Such a good read.
:question I wonder how to contribute to good people as I watch things go - my skills are not amazing but energy infinite
I'm a fan that is fast and persistent to help creators and offer disposable suggestions to find that one thing... and I feel giving money only is anyway debt / paper (signed as loans as false maths) is limited ... so if you can answer than I'd appreciate it as it seems people can't even handle fans or how fast someone can reply or many things psychological perhaps...
And create from creations basically = love of sorts ... it's also the downfall somewhat I'm trying to 'crack' or 'hack' even if things naturally dwindle there is a lacking of human mindset / giving of another kind...

… I have seen things you wouldn’t believe …
… ribbon cables for hard drives… Master/Slave #SCSI termination… (mind screams in rebellion)… the little switch boxes to hook your original #Nintendo console or #VIC20 to a TV and then get headaches from staring at the TV CRT too closely…. a VIC-20 cassette drive with a box of about 150+ unlabeled tapes… painstakingly typed in from the listings in #BYTE magazines… Taking low-density 3.5″ floppies, and drilling/punching a hole through to double your storage and make them “high-density”…. the squeal of a modem (and trying to get the #IRQ conflicts resolved via changing jumper switches)… attempting to connect to #Datapac to try and reach unknown systems, running a #BBS inside a #DOS box, on #386(SX) #Windows 3.0 machine, Setting up your own #UUCP #internet over #dialup…
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…
The clicking of an #IOMEGA #ZIP drive, whose time it was to die…
@Pentapod Woa, yeah if you met them on bbs and now full circle that heavier than my brief low and then post with picture offered as gratitude on the BBS hashtag which is at the top at the moment
Continuing to build on my #AgonLight Telnet using the @olimex UEXT wifi module, I can now #telnet to a number of #BBS services over the internet and use my font of choice while doing it. There's still a bit to go, but I wouldn't have gotten here without all of the cool features @stevesims keeps adding to the Agon VDP, and of course Nihirash who came up with a native #Gopher browser, as well as those who continue to run BBS's. Shoulders of giants in #retrocomputing - it really is a team sport!

@punishmenthurts
Maybe your diction is good !
If you're using these kinds of words and able to write there is a good chance (and proof) you can but it's mixed feelings so...
...if you're not good at something then it's probably your self-approval that is poor rather than ability 8)
So I claim a bit of sabotage on your part... which is fine but let me be the judge with this suggestion...
Record 1minute of reading here
- this microphone site helps do it without any other software and just send me the link after recording? (and I'll confirm about your diction)
@punishmenthurts Swansong can mean many things, what do you mean?

Moaning at Linux, but computing in general as more-dedicated time loss as standard practice...
@snowdusk THIS is the whole reason I stopped A LOT of things 10+ years back - the disposable and undoingness of updates etc ...
BEST decision I ever made not to get into more and not having enough brains to deal with it all helped not have a time dump or breakdown losing all the time with config and error tracking staring at a screen...
With all the love for linux etc, it's for a certain breed of cat / dog to chase and even avoid humans (as we are now perhaps)... and though the interface is much easier or more unified that ever, you still get complete breakages from 'updates'... just unacceptable and people knee-jerk response that everything is unsafe if you're .01 behind on version... and the answer to everything is UPDATE LOL... or if using the same thing for 10+ year without issue... that's bad somehow... often not knowing why things are insecure, just because someone told them (good to know what the weakness are too and not update blind)
Those that shun people on old and think old means bad can seriously SUCK ON AN INFRA RED MOUSE hehe because they are too willing to lose / give their life away to these things head down on a machine and not looking up ☁️
(lol that's a good one - referring to film title ✈️ ) or to find a way to look up at other human and work on improving us all in direct communication
Truth is it was all locked down or boring outside... (and why I and most of us (I think) started on computers as it was better than quite a lot of outside paying for stuff and endless 🔁
Playstation Linux ).
Shrug, who am I to talk about time dumps! 💋 💻 ![]()
@punishmenthurts As self-diagnosed Autist it might be natural to a lot of time on something but spend all day on it (as I have) not always and it's rare to have thinkers sometimes actually able to communicate... so think about what do next as a natural next step if you assume 2 willing people can do something....
e.g. Spoken audio version? Would have tone and inflection a lot better...
Voice conversation/// for others to ''get it' more with my basic questions...
etc
Really if even just a bit of energy is there to push on then testing it a bit is a good idea...
We as whatever labels need to continue more things together if genuine in whatever they do which I am... so saying this before I finish reading that you could think ahead of time so it's not just a "read it and that's it" kind of thing.
More potential places in the text to have a look at, if interested:
I quote:
"
Every anthropologist has a story about how small Indigenous groups retain any
egalitarianism and it’s about nipping it in the bud when some Big Man wants to start
telling people what to do by force, by nudging said would be boss off a cliff.
"
"would-be boss" (adding hyphen) at the end would really help here to show you're talking the future person being a boss rather than "would be" in the usual sense not meant in your sentence.

"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.

TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
