rockSlayer,

Well everyone’s journey is different. I started with just finding out how cool programming is, learned about foss, and then one day said “why doesn’t everything follow foss principles?”

rockSlayer,

You’ll never change someone overnight or in one conversation, but every time you say something radically leftist, you’re planting a seed in uncle Jim-Bob that will slowly shift their way of thinking. Deradicalizing conservatives, racists, fascists, etc is hard as fuck. The important thing is that when someone goes to you and intentionally starts questioning their ideals, you’ve been handed the opportunity to change their mind slowly over months/years

rockSlayer,

That’s how I learned I was ace. After my first time I thought “what’s the big deal about it?” Thought about it for a few months, and realized that not all ace people are sex adverse or even try to avoid it.

rockSlayer,

Toxic masculinity and autism makes it hard to open up to loved ones, let alone strangers.

rockSlayer,

Thank god for corb, it changed my life.

rockSlayer,

I will say that that’s exactly how the google voice api works. Of course it’s all in a black box, but that’s how the documentation describes it and how it functions when making a voice app

rockSlayer,

Sounds like progress!

That is pretty big, actually. I’m still a novice Linux user, are there distros that ship with wayland?

ETA: looked it up myself, I think I need to upgrade my debian version. Apparently the default DE ships with it now, even in stable

rockSlayer,

I hope Garry becomes a monk that makes no wage. At that point there’s literally no point in continuing waged work

rockSlayer,

Why is it weird to be mad at a multibillion dollar corporation for garnishing the wages of a disabled person’s disability benefits, simply because he was providing the means to do what you want with your device? I don’t care what the courts say. It should not be illegal to sell something that allows you to do what you want with your device. Even if that device facilitates piracy. IP isn’t real and shouldn’t exist in the first place.

rockSlayer,

Ok, that doesn’t make it better though.

rockSlayer,

Just to be clear, you’re ok with saddling a disabled person with $14m dollar fine to a multibillion dollar corporation, for the crime of making $300k on a device that allows you to do what you want with your device? It wasn’t specifically meant for piracy, there are several good and legitimate reasons to have full control of your device.

rockSlayer, (edited )

Because he lives in the US Canada, where it’s expensive as fuck to just exist as a disabled person.

rockSlayer,

I’m a little confused, because he served time in a US prison. How did that happen?

rockSlayer,

OP corrected me, and I edited my comment to reflect the correction. Still don’t see how it’s weird to be upset about a company fining the everliving fuck out of a private citizen because the company is anti-ownership.

rockSlayer,

Ok, so Nintendo should sue the group/company he was a part of and not the individual. The device was for hacking/modding. The fact that pirates used it too is incidental. Nintendo ships games in which you can’t even play 4/5 of the game due to a game breaking bug. The only way to access the rest of the game is to mod your ds to get past the bug. There’s also software preservation aspects so we don’t lose our digital history.

Honestly, fuck Nintendo. You don’t own software even if you buy it, so I’d argue that it’s not theft to use software without paying. But I digress.

rockSlayer,

I actually didn’t know they were directly selling pirated software, I thought it was only about the modding device. However, I’m glad you recognize the extremely excessive nature of the ruling. Do you happen to know why they went after a single individual instead of the whole group?

rockSlayer,

Granted it doesn’t make me fail whamageddon, but fuck you anyways for getting this song stuck in my head

rockSlayer,

A large percentage of homeless people are queer teens that were kicked out by their parents.

rockSlayer,

In Dragon Ball Z, collecting all 7 dragon balls allows you to summon an all powerful dragon that will grant you one wish, for anything you desire. Wishing for someone’s death or resurrection are not limitations

rockSlayer,

The genie is pretty ancient, my head canon is that it’s just the genie’s personal rules over the millennia

rockSlayer, (edited )

It sure would speed up the plot if they just wished for Frieza to die

rockSlayer,

Oh boy, I can’t wait to see my Catholic conservative family melt down over this one lmao. Papal infallibility is fun when it’s on the right side of history

rockSlayer,

Damn, that’s disappointing. At least I still get to see them seethe over the acceptance of lgbt people

rockSlayer,

Haudenosaunee get first dibs on telling us to fuck off

rockSlayer,

You can also clear the tube by blowing into it after getting past the s-bend

rockSlayer,

If you need to do this, it’s literally a last resort. However, breathing fresh air is far better than breathing in smoke.

rockSlayer,

When you’re trapped in a fire, fresh air is relative

rockSlayer,

I’m curious, what does “last resort” mean to you?

rockSlayer,

Lmao, I suppose there’s also that option too. On average, toilets are more sanitary than a phone so it’s not the end of the world if you do drink it

rockSlayer,

This is only common in single family homes. As an example, my apartment has 1.5 bathrooms, the only windows are in the bedrooms.

rockSlayer,

I aspire to gain badgie’s privileges

rockSlayer,

I have an electric kettle, so instant ramen. I live near an asian grocery store, so I also have a ton of ramen varieties

rockSlayer,

That’s a good one! One of my favorites is to order some hot and sour soup, and place cooked noodles in the cup

rockSlayer,

Easy now, no need to go nuclear

rockSlayer,

Unpopular opinion, but I want station wagons to come back. They were a super useful car that didn’t look too bad.

rockSlayer,

Invoking Atheismo only works because xe smites everything around the person invoking xem

rockSlayer,

Ah, but they continue to exist in my conscience thoughts for as long as I continue to think of them, despite never existing

rockSlayer,

Proceeds the weedian - Nazareth

rockSlayer,

Here in the Midwest, we’re trained from birth to talk about weather

rockSlayer,

Yep, right on the nose! I grew up on a farm, but also I noticed that people talk about weather all the time, even in cities

rockSlayer,

Checking in from Minnesota, you’re welcome to annex us at any time

rockSlayer,

Anyone that says pop is wrong, is wrong

rockSlayer,

They’re not welcome 'round these parts

rockSlayer,

My fellow lemming, it’s with great pleasure that I tell you you’re wrong.

rockSlayer,

You might love to know that some passionate modders have modernized those games. Allow me to introduce you to openRA

rockSlayer,

If I were a DM, I’d consider magic to be another human sense. It can’t fix the body more than the body existed before injury, and still doesn’t fix all injuries. So like a blind monk that trains can extend magic to act like an echolocation, but they were born blind so can’t be unblinded. Or someone broke their back and it healed incorrectly causing paralysis, only highly specialized magic has a chance of fixing it.

rockSlayer,

It’s fun being a corporate monkeywrencher
