So you not only create a grey market you immediately inculcate the children into it.

Prohibition is generally ineffective in anything that doesn’t involve violating someone else’s rights.

If we’re talking about getting rid of slopware I’m all for it. But this law. And other laws like it are an incredibly thinley veiled attempt to silence dissent by tying peoples online comments to their employment and subsequently housing and healthcare.

And I will never believe that this is done out concern for children.

You know what they say. Prohibition, works every time.

Surely this time their famous design standards will be applied to their UX.

Surely.

Rage fuels the machine

Whew, his comment history.

Acronyms are beyond his reach.

As someone who has changed a laptop keyboard before.

That picture says it all.

Primarily institutions. They want to sell these to schools, prisons, libraries etc. at scale

Look mate yaint paid ya proivocy loicence fer ages.

Idk count to a trillion and check.

You guys know the joke about how pets and their owners start to resemble each other?

They became politicians because they can’t cum unless it’s illegal.

I wouldn’t hold my breath

“Not bad.” He burped, burped again. “Fizzy, though?”

“Because it’s fast acting. It was ditch water an hour ago. We sieved it, brought it up to room temp, dumped in the culture. It’s live, too—add some precursor, it’ll come back. Survives in your urine. Just save some, you want to make more.”

“Communist beer?” Hubert, Etc said. The best bon mot he could scrounge.

He was better when he had time to think.

“Nazdarovya.” She clicked her cup against his and drained it, loosing a bone rattling belch when she finished. She gave her chest a thump and scared out smaller burps, refilled the glass.

“If it comes out in pee,” Hubert, Etc said, “what happens if someone adds the precursor to the sewers? Will it turn to beer?”

She gave him a look of adolescent scorn. “That would be stupid. Once it’s diluted it can’t metabolize precursor. Flush and it’s just pee. The critters die in an hour or two, so a latrine won’t turn into a reservoir of long lived existential threats to the water supply. It’s just beer.” Burp. “Fizzy beer.”

Hubert, Etc sipped. It was really good. Didn’t taste like piss at all. “All beer is rented, right?” he said.

“Most beer is rented. This is free. You know: ‘free as in free beer.’” She drank half the cup, spilling into her beard. It beaded on the crinkly refugee stuff. “You don’t come to a lot of Communist parties.”

Excerpt from “Walkaway” - Cory Doctorow

Jimmy… Intel, has been an embarrassment to this great company. People are saying, folks are, everyone is saying he’s just, the worst. A travesty. Of the highest order. It’s as if he was trying to push the market under. Like a. Well I should, people are saying I should ask him to step down but to them I say I won’t I might suggest it, humbly, in the press. But I won’t ask him to. He will though. We’ve spoken and he told me “Mr. President Mr. president, what can I do?” and I tell him you got a move the supply chain out of Taiwan. But he doesn’t understand that so he won’t.

It’s a line from Jessie Welles “Certain”

YouTube thinks I’ll buy a Rolex LMFAO

Backass preachers out in Oklahoma getting high and stoned on their own aroma.

You write a creative series of deeply offensive curse words in small white on white print.

I just put a thin blue line sticker on my case and full send that bitch.

Government agencies can’t bribe as good. Our politicians are whipped dogs who sell the free world for less than an F-150 a year in kickbacks.
