This resonates. The after effects of age verification and the general exclusion of freedom loving coders is going to leave me standing here in the tumbleweeds with my 90s toyota and laptop with solar panels and unregulated radio frequencies my only communication with the outside world.

Its like those movies coming true. I've already had casual user accounts frozen just for accessing via VPN, or some other inscrutable reason.

looks pretty cool! Ive definitely been wanting some improvement in file discovery and exploration

Ninety-nine dreams I have had

In every one, a red balloon

It's all over and I'm standin' pretty

In this dust that was a city

If I could find a souvenir

Just to prove the world was here

And here is a red balloon

I think of you, and let it go

He makes a lot of great points, but I vaguely feel he missed the point of the book. I guess he "just couldn't like get into it man."

>In fact, in one of the more laughable parts of the book, he goes on and on concerning the necessity of permanent war as a means of consuming the world's production of resources and thus keeping the social stratification of upper, middle, and lower classes in being.

Well, A-Team was objectively terrible but I have a nostalgic connection to kids shows like that, Knight Rider etc. In retrospect Bay Watch was an effective CPR training tool at unprecedented scale.

I would be hesitant to pass judgement.

Is this a commonly held assumption?

for every episode of the A-Team, for Saturday morning cartoons, for I Love Lucy, and for Miami Vice, I give thanks.
whenever someone mentions the FBI I think of of a picture of the current highly incompetent and malevolent director.
