@shortstories The question is.... are the beavers ready to join the war?

@shortstories Try computers and ecnryption instead. Isn't it already a theoretical possibility that the US can take away your laptop in case you refuse to unlock it?

I am certain that tor, i2p, and similar software will become a crime in our more authoritarian western "democracies" in the next decade.

Movie recommendation: Perfect days (2023)

A beautiful meditation on what gives life meaning, and how much you can simplify life, while still living a rich one.

Warning, it has a minimum of dialogue, and no background music, yet manages to tell a beautiful story. If you like minimalism and existentialist themes, give it a try.

If you like something fast paced, or something very close to hollywood story telling, stay far away.

@shadowferret Rust is very strange in that it gives rise to religious wars. Very strange indeed. I'll continue with my bash scripts for many more years to come, and let them war on. 😎

@ChrisMayLA6 You do! It would actually be very interesting to watch you in action at some municipal politics.

@freepatriot This is the truth!

@ChrisMayLA6 Well, when it comes to the norm of civility, I think you yourself, is the reason. I'm no stranger to trolling, but you just have this peaceful aura, and what you write is interesting, which just makes it difficult to troll you. Sometimes I lightly try, but it never sticks. ;)

@lain What made you change your mind about Trump?

@ChrisMayLA6 This is the truth. There are a few things where I side with the prince of peace, but JD Vance is not so good. I do not think he will ever again reach similar heights within the republican party, after his current job is done.

@thenewoil I wonder if delta chat has the same weakness?
