“So what do you think about the late winter?”

Well, It’s getting harder to deer these days. I’ve been deering for three years now and hope to keep deering for the next ten. Winter is tough deering anyway

“Thank you, deer. Back to you, April”

The replies are priceless

"Is there an available corpus of juggalo faces to train on? It'd make for an interesting project to integrate the two..."

Oh my God!

"i made a breakthrough. it turns out juggalo makeup defeats facial recognition successfully. if you want to avoid surveillance, become a juggalo i guess"

DB schema for the side project is getting more and more complicated :/

Hopefully, it won't get out of hand

I didn't realize how complicated the design of shovels were

I mean the stamped ridges have to be just so to avoid flexing, but not too much to compromise integrity of the steel

And the front angle has to be just so to make it easy to push through soil, but not too sharp to avoid breaking the tip

All of this even before getting into the complexity of "tri-folding" entrenching tools

wow

Just can't believe how some people take the joy out of everything

go into the wilderness with your hairshirt and scream at trees please

lead on, friend

@cypnk People should not be surprised that this is happening - after all, this is just a small deviation from expected behavior. Some might even find it cool/entertaining. The bigger problem is that these devices can literally do whatever they want, they can listen, monitor, locate, collect, do statistics, upload and download everything, install unwanted updates, hell they could even be programmed to overheat some circuits and burn down the house. All WE can do is trust Google... #FuckOffGoogle

The dystopia is closer than it appears

Had a geek nostalgia moment today.

Ended up looking at the site for Damnsmalllinux.

I was always so impressed with how much actual functionality was packed into those minimalist projects, and I still think their extension system was really clever.

Their extension directory still contains a few packages I created, under an old username.

Live CD distros like this, knoppix, dragonlinux and even microscopic tomsrtbt floppy were among my first tastes of Linux.
