Bandcamp, then I go to my favorite genres, and then look at the new stuff.

Webrings were one of the best ways to spend an evening. I loved getting lost in the Tolkien and Gardening ones.

I tried gemini protocol for a bit to see if it did a decent job addressing this, but it doesn’t. We do legit need a ‘smallweb’ non-commercial sort of thing, but I suspect retreating to a BBS model is probably what is required.

Netscape? I don’t think it worked out for them, if that was the case :D

I thought racial/class bias was due to lack of education and lack of access to information.

Holy cow was I wrong.

I’m a big fan of the game, and it’s on my steam list, but I’d say no. It’s way too old to be $30.

CBS news has gone full scale right, haven’t they? I’ve seen so much BS from them lately.

They didn’t, people showed up all over the state. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/06/14/warnings-state-officials-following-shootings-no-kings-rallies-minnesota https://www.startribune.com/trump-protests-gear-up-around-minnesota-us/601371723

I’m not convinced there’s any resolution to this current situation that’s not very very bad. I really hope to be proved wrong.

Let’s suppose for a moment that they actually succeed in dismantling/removing all these federal things. Just for the sake of argument.

At what point will the states band together to say “we’ve had enough” and call a constitutional convention and just… dismantle the fed?

IMO, it’s all about giving the user control. KDE’s transparency/translucency controls are the bare minimum. Apple hates giving users choices, though, so I hope they do ok for those folks.

I am definitely older (my first programming job involved a mac plus) and personally, I can’t stand the flat look era.

(cue cut scene of Twenty-nine Palms) :D I think you’re right

I’m assuming the comment “declaring martial law” would require nat guard (natives) and stationed troops (federal) to attempt to impose order. Not sure what that has to do with local infra, but the last time they tried that (LA Riots) it didn’t go great. Doing it for a strictly political reason would likely result in some very hard decisions for a lot of nat guard and some federal career military. The Nat Guard and federales couldn’t even restore order in South Central when most of the state was in their corner, it’d be madness to think they could handle the whole state when it was over a pissing match.

California gets roughly $162.9 billion from the fed. California pays roughly $692 billion to the fed in taxes.

It’d be pretty easy to see them choosing to just withhold whatever Trump decided to deny them and say “fine, then we’ll just make up the offset, suck it”, and then things would get interesting indeed.

I mean, good luck? CA is also obscenely well defended, since most of its modern wealth came from it being considered a battleground vs Japan and Russia, so there’s loads of bases.

Most likely, this will just yet again be a defeat in court. That dude is just throwing shit against the wall and hoping some of it will stick.

Well, this inspired me to swing my monthly wikipedia donation over to a world book sub instead. It’s bad enough that wikipedia was a very dubious source of info, but now this is just too much.

You mean the bubble of people who don’t want a factually incorrect, environmentally damaging shortcut to provide a summary that’s largely already being done by someone? You’re right.
