It’s been a lifesaver gaming wise. Nice to know most games do and can run on linux, it’s usually the ones with some sort of online anti-cheat that don’t run.

Just get a PC? Parts prices are low right now and they are far more useful than a console that has a “planned expiration” every 5-10 years.

I’ll share what a Harvard professor and copyright lawyer sent me in an email:

I write with a gloomy update for the Hachette v. Internet Archive appeal in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals: The court affirmed the lower court’s decision about CDL, and ruled that Internet Archive’s Open Libraires program was NOT a fair use.

One shining moment though, was that the court ruled that a “Donate Now” button does not indicate “commercial use” for purposes of the fair use argument. (Phew!)

There is more to unpack here, but we will be hosting a series of CFR talks in the coming weeks to discuss the decision and it’s implications.

“Forestry Tasmania says that it doesn’t log giant trees, yet every other week Tasmanians see giant single-log loads on the back of trucks, and concerned citizens find giant stumps in public state forests,” Hardinge said. “Citizens should not have to do the government’s surveying work for them.”

Cutting down centuries old growth forests for profit… that’s radical. Not the people trying to save them.

Georgian green beans is awesome

Love both musicals and Trek so this episode is an instant winner

Giorgia Meloni is a fascist

There, she can try to sue me too.

Italians are so free!

Genuine question, what are the upsides to population decline?

“We’re the good guys, trust me!”

Thank you for this, it’s sad and depressing news like this that makes me want to make a difference
