Forgot where I was and thought this was going to be a Max Verstappen meme

Season 1 of Lower Decks missed the mark and tried too hard to be bog standard “Adult Animated Comedy” but it really improved in the following seasons. And not even so much because it became much funnier, but because they actually toned down the comedy a bit and pivoted into making it a decent Star Trek show on its own. Most of the comedy after that sorta centered around teasing about Star Trek tropes and poking fun at some of Old Trek’s more goofy episodes.

When I started getting into this the common answer was Reolink. I’m pretty happy with mine.

That is a trailer

I’m not going to give advice on how to pirate, but you should understand that physical media like DVDs and Bluray are just digital content burned into a physical disk.

So if you were to acquire a digital copy of something, and some physical media you could save it to, you would wind up with a physical copy of that thing.

Retails stores sometimes still have these in high-volume areas. Imagine your store loses power on Black Friday weekend. Some stores live or die by a few critical weekends a year. You might lose some merch through declines later but avoiding the loss in total sales will almost certainly make up for it.

Yes Anytype is just like Appflowy and Affine, Open-core not open source. And like the others doesn’t have full feature parity with Notion.

Yeah and ultimately these things are just not what Obsidian was designed for which is basic markdown notes. You can definitely mod the absolute hell out of obsidian but it does start to get a little heavy after awhile and it’s noticeable when you try to make a workflow that utilizes a obinch of plugins that didn’t really have the functionality of any other plugin in mind when they were made.

Notion just doesn’t have any FOSS alternatives right now that are a true replacement. A couple come close, like Appflowy and Affine, but they’re open-core with paywall hell, and are pretty half-baked as it is. Obsidian is awesome but it’s not really a 1:1 replacement.

Do you live in the United States? If so the only reasonable option for a router at this exact point in time is to run your own using opnsense or PFsense. You can buy an x86 mini pc with with a couple high bandwidth NICs and it’ll do the job

Tangled seems to focus on the “social” aspect by being inherently federated using the protocol Bluesky uses.

Federation is in the works for Forgejo but it’s not a focus.

It’s a fork of Gitea with more extensive development.

Forgejo was initially a soft fork of Gitea but they knew it would very possibly become a hard fork. Using the latest tag meant your setup could break unexpectedly so I think they’d opted to not use it at all. What you want to do is use the full version “15” in this case which will keep it updated up the currently major release.

Actual cyberpunk is actually looking better than the trajectory of reality because a cornerstone of cyberpunk dystopias are populations so large there are plenty of tucked away places to make some semblance of a life for yourself outside of the prying eyes of big brother. There’s still enough privacy left intact for seedy underbellies to exist.

This is funny to me because I was homeschooled specifically so I wouldn’t become an uneducated yokel lmao

There’s plenty of opportunity to socialize as a homeschooler. The stereotype exists because many (most?) homeschooled kids are so because the isolation and rejection of social norms is the point. But there’s also a demographic of them that exist because they live in bad school districts and don’t have the money for private school.

Neighborhood kids form bonds with other neighborhood kids regardless of the school they go to. Homeschool kids are more often than not allowed to join their local school sports teams as well. I think you’d be surprised how many people you’ve met who were homeschooled that you’d never guess.

You can access the RAS feed for the newsletter for free, but if you want to be able to read it in your RSS client without having to visit the site directly you have to become a member.

Buying profiling data from Google is not nearly as effective at tracking and controlling your online activity as integrating facial scans and government ID checks into every website or even directly into your operating system.

Frankly a brand new account pushing the “The government is already tracking you, there’s nothing you can do about it, don’t worry about all the new ways they can track you, just give in” narrative is a little suspicious.

It is in fact a government conspiracy to track you. Not necessarily to gather data on you, which can be purchased from brokers, but so that they can also control what you can access.

There’s no mechanism that the government currently has that can track you as effectively as these age verification laws can.

The problem with that is, how do we make glasses like these illegal without also making any type of filming in public illegal?

A good start would be for more states to adopt wiretapping laws with two-party consent models. Only 11 states have these on the books currently.
