Their profiles don't look like obvious bots :/

In a never-ending arms race what can they hope to achieve by imprisoning a minority just in case they're more likely to be a spy?

Would like to see attempts to approach cheating in a non-hopeless way.

I can only imagine it's what someone uninformed on tech would want.

Stop bad thing, help children. What? Consequences?

It will be great to see more PC hardware reviews with Linux in mind.

Does SteamOS offer something significant over other GNU+Linux distributions? Waiting for it to release as a catalyst to start including Linux seems a bit odd. I hope it won't be like waiting for Half Life 3.

Lacking in what ways?

If that's the computing you want to do then power to ya. I'd rather the software running on my machine do what I want, rather than work around it doing what someone else wants.

I assume having your own chat room with your friends would mean self hosting?

Planned obsolescence is a symptom of something which is, or aught to be, in your top 10 issues with big tech.

No worries. Think I'll call myself an author as the source code is a text that can amount to a copyrighted work.

Hopefully this will not conflict with another field and and we can put this issue to rest.

I want groups with "Open" in their name who make software to make it "Open source".

One is to view free firmware as desirable but not necessary

I can't make firmware but I hope the people who can make free (libre) firmware don't give up, which is what that position sounds like.

I lose interest in DF when, after some lucky military dwarfs die in glorious combat, I have to micro manage re-adding dwarfs to squads. Is there a mod to automate adding dwarfs to squads?

I'd love it if the commander/captains would have meetings to choose a new member out of some pool of dwarfs that want to join. And also kick out unhappy, trouble-makers from the military.

Hell of a first day.

Cognitohazards are my favorite - at least.. I think I remember them being my favorite.

A video taking on the difficult task to address an article with a unique format (my favorite "read"): https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2521

 

They told me who you are.

 

This sub looks empty, thought I'd post one of my favorite SCP videos.

 

Work are chucking out a "Cisco 887VA-M" integrated services router.

Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?

I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

I had not heard of a weighted blanket until I saw that image and searched for what it might refer to. Are they useful for adults too? Will ask my ADHD friend if they ever had one, might make a good gift.

The image looks like it could be used as a real emoji (expressing comfort). Who made it? I would like to use the image if permission has been given (e.g. Creative Commons licence).
