He had to ditch the deal then in order to manufacture an excuse to attack them now. This is what he wants.

Credulous media excusing his warmongering by pretending it’s some kind of mistake can fuck all the way off!

How is this not illegal in the EU?

It depends what they’re tweaking and why. For example, a lot of stuff is tweaked to become “Roundup ready,” and facilitating the mass use of glyphosate is dangerous.

You’re right: plastic is just as recyclable now as it was before.

Which is to say, it continues to largely fail to be recyclable.

Only thing it didn’t have like the Basilisk was BT functionality, which in my use case wasn’t a deal breaker.

Batteries are kind of a deal-breaker for me anyway. If I were to get a wireless mouse, it would have to be the kind that’s powered by induction from the mouse pad.

I also like my Redragon mouse, a “Griffin M602A-RGB”. I picked it entirely because (a) the shape fits my hand well, with well-sculpted indentations for my thumb, ring, and pinky fingers, and (b) it’s cheap, but not so cheap it isn’t still decent.

I’ll be honest: I haven’t made it past (or even to the end of) that episode either. I’ve tried a couple of times, but end up stopping after a few minutes just from the sheer cringe.

And I really like the rest of the show, to the point where I don’t want to skip any episodes, but that one I really ought to skip.

They’re not shutting it down because they don’t want to pay for it. They’re shutting it down because it’s created the longest-running record of atmospheric CO₂ levels, and climate facts hurt oligarchs’ feelings.

They’re not gonna let anybody else operate it either, regardless of funding.

I’m surprised there aren’t massive protests scheduled for July 4.

Not economic decline; spiraling inequality. Which is even worse, in some important ways.

Could very well be. I’m using OpenWRT and basically did the bare minimum to get it to work.

It seems high as Lemm.ee had 1k daily active users for the last week.

What’s the count from the week before the shutdown announcement?

Look up the story of the Citycorp Center in Manhattan; that’s always a fun one.

Time is a cube!

Yeah, it’s only anecdotal but I feel like hobbyists like us, who do slightly unusual things without nefarious intent, who are the ones who get hit with these sorts of issues the most. For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

Check the part about misinformation.

What Linux infrastructure? The wikis and torrent links?

Package database mirrors (i.e. the things you’re downloading from when you install new software).
