Well if the horse could talk, then a vet definitely should ask it if it’s been mistreated. Don’t take it too seriously, I was just riffing.

Here I am, mister froggy, and my hat is slay, and I bought a subscription to a VPN controlled by an Israeli company

programmers just not a uniform bunch. not all of them blockchain grifters. fancy that.

A talking, snitching horse would be so much more interesting than a super advanced car. Assuming this were a new development. Could the horse bridge the communication gap with the natural world and foster peace between humans and earth? Or would the horse be pretentious and look down on lesser beings? Would the horse get overwhelmed by celebrity influencer status and die alone in a field, drunk and poisoned by rotten oats?

I think the horse would be a hero of friendship and karate for everyone. And it would be an omniscient snitch.

Doesn’t it just seem so far away? How could “Hospital patients burned alive” affect my routine?

I was gonna ask, are they using Robert’s Rules of Order in these meetings? Are they taking notes on a criminal conspiracy?

Oh no the brandy wars incoming

Your creds could be diminished based on which usenet forums you frequented. I had a little while in my 90s youth obsessed with researching marihuana, libertarian ideals, and discrediting Scientology in the alt.scientology groups. Not great, kind of normal for usenet, but there were much darker places to inhabit there. Worst of all was posting from my university account with my real name.

it feels like it should it work to just poke a stranger when you want to talk to them

While this is technically correct, it still doesn’t matter. I have built my own high end PCs in the past and it is a huge waste. I’m not even sold on the steam deck yet - I do all my non- critical stuff like lemmy on this 10 year old shit tablet running Android 7

typing this now on a Surface Pro 3 I bought 9 years ago. solid hardware, obviously a bit slow. still has an hour or so of battery life. haven’t got around to installing Linux, so the OS is shit, but I’ve never reinstalled or felt it was necessary. I definitely researched and ran debloat scripts. biggest concern is that upgrades are impossible. I think Linux would run well on this machine, based on the support out there.

I mean, fuck Putin, but don’t delude yourself that this will get easier

Mess around! Mess around! Putin’s head is a footie ball! Mess around!
