sure but there was no way that wouldn’t have been thrown out.

…what kind of brain damage did the rep have to think that was a viable defense? surely their human customer service personnel are also responsible for their own actions?

and if it does i’ll change my tune. i already don’t like the man.

because stallman can never fucking shut up about anything.

yeah i’ve followed the entire conversation for years. he’s not fit to run the fsf but he’s also not done anything illegal. when i read the interview in which he explained that he rescinded his statements on relations with people who are underage after consulting with a psychologist, i read it as the words of someone who lives in a completely rules-based world: he did not believe it would cause harm because there was nothing in his experience thus far that pointed to that. after having it explained to him by a professional, he changed his mind. the man has no tact, he runs entirely and completely on rationalism. when new information comes up that puts his beliefs into question, his beliefs align with that information almost instantly. but if the source is not authoritative, he disregards it. it’s a very useful form of neurodivergence for a scientist, but not for a public figure.

no, rms the autist with no ability to read the room. he’s never been a pedo, he just has permanent foot-in-mouth disease.

5k ish. i had paid maybe 50 bucks total for it over all the years i owned it so it was a pretty good deal.

it’s been unchanged because http got more popular.

there is a vocal part of the indieweb that does not want encrypted communication because it increases the system requirements, and because it disincentivises sending sending any sensitive information. i don’t really agree with that assessment but i do think there is something to not sending stuff you don’t need.

gopher predates http, of course it didn’t have certificates.

just meta.

it was just the word meta on a country tld. i used it as a personal site, but they just did nothing with it.

just before they changed their name, meta bought a domain off of me anonymously for thousands of dollars. if they change again, i would like that domain back

ah, usually the creative aspect draws people in but i know not everyone is that way.

it’s 300TB

minecraft?

yeah idk about that first part

i’m in a union country. we even have a national union for people who aren’t in any work that has its own union.

today marks five months without a job. my union-provided salary insurance runs out soon and i’ll be down to unemployment benefits. i’ve applied for about forty positions and gotten something like five interviews total.

maybe i needed a break though. i’m almost done getting my motorcycle license, i’ve gotten into 3D printing, i’ve gotten my teeth fixed, and i’ve had time to try two different medications to help my focus. i wish it would help with the headaches though.

i’m waiting for a create-like mod before jumping.

i think that’s calamares, so any distro that uses it can technically do this. the reason most don’t is that you can just add more DE’s after install. i know endeavourOS and openSUSE do this, and i think fedora has something like this too?

but the main reason is to keep install size to a minimum. if you want your system to be installable without an internet connection you can’t just ship every DE known to man.
