If they had I would have welcomed any potential AI overlords. I want a massive dial up in the middle of town, sounding its boot signal across the land. Idk this was an odd image I felt like I should share it…

A rep for the Centerparti literally used this argument on the news today, they are very against it. It is just a proposal at the moment, even the military passovely criticized it as they use Signal for communication.

Hopefully that’s enough for it not to pass but you never know. If it passes that’s a new low.

The OUTER… LIMITS…

i’m sorry I love this show so I had to do the intro voice.

Man I love it so much. I have basically stopped watching tv and movies the past two years, I watch maybe (like not even) once ever two months. I just don’t enjoy it very often and I have trouble sitting still just watching if it isn’t super interesting. This absolutely is tho. Makes me laugh a lot and think and go “aaa far out man”.

Nice, I had an ex who said it was a nice read but I never got around to it. Love the movie tho so I should probably check it out

Nice, what book?

Getting back into reading has been one of the best things that happened to me. It is an amazing hobby once you get into just being able to just lay down and read for a few hours. It took a while but if you fprce yourself enough you will end up making a good habbit of it.

That’s awesome! Reading for pleasure or work/school?

I’m sorry but sk8ter boy is obviously the GOAT

Ah shit I think you are right. Feels like I have had it forever but seems that was a false memory of some sort.

I bought it while I lived in my previous apartment which I feel was longer ago and so I got a bit confused with the dates I think lol. Thanks for pointing it out.

I think you are missing the point of using an e-ink device… I don’t think anyone would use one because of “how powerful” it is.

I don’t want to read for hours on end on my phone or computer. With this, I can turn backlight off and use a lamp, like a normal book. Better for my eyes and relaxing.

Also, having dedicated devices for certain activities will change how you interact with them when using them. If I read a book on my computer I am tempted to look things up, get some work done or play a game. This is just for leisurely reading, and so when I pick it up that is what I do with it.

If you read a lot (books, not documentation which requires looking things up) then it really is a lot better for your eyes and a better experience to use e-ink.

Been using an Onyx Boox Nova 3 for maybe 8 years now. It runs android, drm free everything (edit: it has no store really, it is basically empty. Supports virtually any filetype you can read. Epub, pdf, mobi, cbz). For some android could be a distraction from reading, but the browser is slow enough to were you use it to hop on annas-archive, get a book and then quickly close it. File transfer via shared wifi or USB, good reader, some nice reading stats without needing any account. Recommend if anyone wants to jump the amazon ship.

Nicotine and some chocolate these days. I always take a cup of coffee and a piece of cocolate every day. It is sacred at this point.

I’ve been listening through the Ozric Tentacles discography. Idk why I never got into Space Rock before but as a fan of Psytrance it is kind of a no brainer really.

Got into it after reading Eat Static are ex-members of Ozric, and so decided to check it out.

And right now Ishq, ambient. Was a feature on Jon Hopkins latest album RITUAL.

Juno is so good. Sounds like a very nice weekend.

Nice. Any chance my existing spotify accound could get banned or something? I want some QOL changes but am afraid of losing ~400 playlists…

Stressful as fuck, glad you are moving away from that.

This reads wild to me. Imagine kidnapping someone, and then giving them internet access, and still you know no one will care if you ask for help online?

Seriously how do they prevent people from asking for help? What exactly do they do at the scam factory?

I imagine it is a sort of debt bondage situation, like in the fishing industry (we will fly you here, but oh, now you owe us 12 months salary for the food and travel and visa, and actually this is not the job we said it was. It has changed now sorry!). I’d love some more info on how this actually works in practice if someone has a good source.
