Man this whole anticipatory compliance with the fascist regime shit is fucking awful

Lots of people seem to have this one imaginary friend named Jesus

I’m people and I’m not ok with it. Does that count?

lol

lol holy shit do it. DO IT. This will utterly FUCK the profit model of more things than I can quickly explain

Well of course. But you can if it’s your car, is my point.

Thank you for given me a nostalgia jolt that I didn’t know I wanted, but am fully enjoying right now

Omg I remember Kidpix! It was great!

This… not so much.

Yeah, more or less

In the context of engineering and technology: it’s a broader issue. It’s a matter of engineers either refusing to accept responsibility and accountability around the systems they build and the societal effects they have, or failing that, the companies that said engineers work for preventing them from doing so because profitability.

lol ok, but HP is still a bag of dicks

I tend to just whip up a script of some sort that employs widely used libraries for the conversion. I know that’s more technical than most people would have the tolerance or aptitude for, but for me, it’s the least ambiguous and most secure way to do stuff like that. And then I can squirrel it away in a utility scripts directory and use it later if I need it again.

Doing illegal things is the new black, haven’t you heard?

Also, how exactly would they catch anyone doing this?

This is… far, far too real

Waiting for the prescription stims to kick
