Thanks, Pirate Software.

I tried for it today on an LXC at home but its proving to be a pain in the ass due to my DNS provider, DreamHost. I'll figure it out later, but this isn't as turnkey as I had hoped.

This is troubling and I am going to accelerate my migration to Vaultwarden. I'm not going to leave Bitwarden yet but I saw how this played out with LastPass, and I was a happy LastPass customer until I wasn't.

They're one step away from dictating the content to be tailored to ads. Which is the natural end of running ads on your fucking service.

Apple TV+ remains the only streaming service I continue to pay for.

We need federal two-party consent

I've always believed that we were living through the collapse of the American Hegemony, but I could never describe the system until I read about the Imperial Boomerang and the Five Phase Lifecycle which captures the US' expansionist policies post WW2. Except we never needed war, we had the petrodollar.

The problem when you have a system that centralized, you have one major factor, and then the inability to grow leads to the empire turning within with its expansionist policies towards its people. Its the perfect system to have an incompetent boob turn cruel. And once that happens, everyone senses something wicked on the horizon. Soft power with allies completely vanishes. New allegiances are forged. A new hyperpower emerges. And the most defensive behavior is to protect your own interests -- which accelerate the inevitable collapse.

The US is a very big country, and any future shape will have it more like a confederation -- either officially in its successor states, or more likely by Balkanization. Whether or not its the New America we want, well, I'm not that clairvoyant.

I hope this makes sense, I'm not a political expert. All I am certain of, in my gut, is that Trump is the final manifestation of the decline phase, and this is the final act. The Roman empire went through many drastic 'collapses' in its span, this doesn't mark the end of America, but of the current post-WW2 hegemony? The one driven by the GI Bill and Technological progress? We aren't coming back from this.

Anyone who doesnt stop recording when I ask is going to be made to stop.

Good news I hope

Being rich is not a race.

Shoot myself

Why? They have their creature comforts and platform challenges. Dismissal is elitism, and closes off the movement.

I am trying Zed now, I am quite attached to VS Code but my IDE is less dependent than my OS (I am also evaluating Linux distros, I already don't run Windows on my laptops)

please dont add to the pile

Incorrect. Crab together strong. Microsoft needs to know they fucked up.

You can still request Geolocation and if the computer has a prior record w/o IP, you can get a location up the chain.

It's literally going to be easier for websites to just block all Utah IPs and Geolocations.

Tron, if you care about the music. Going from peak (Wendy Carlos) to peak (Daft Punk) to peak (Nine Inch Nails) even if the movies are bad.

I want this bill dead not compromised.
