Corporations aren’t people

Don’t they just slap a custom configured dosbox in the folder and point to it for launch? Could just strip out dosbox and have the thing.

Yeah, not sure what the actual options are, but hopefully they get it sorted.

Depends on what medium it’s on. Some are far better than others, so as a generalisation I said what I said. A majority of folk these days, when they think digital media storage, think solid state. Which is, in fact, not suited for long term storage. A piece of paper stored correctly is going to outlast a usb drive, SD card or SSD.

The possibilities are endless.

I gotta get offline now. This morning hasn’t been too great for my mental health.

It’s all hypothetical for now. But with control of the house and senate, there’s not a single thing actually stopping them as long as the rank and file of the GOP stay in line and push everything through. Hopefully there’s enough liberal and further left inclined “Well organised militias” to fight back against anything super fashy…

As @hollyberries pointed out, archive’s servers are on American soil, if there’s a federal ban on improper(“fake”) knowledge, their assets could easily be seized. No laws would have to change from today for them to do this, they’d just have to think up a somewhat reasonable excuse…

And also good to keep in mind is that digital storage is volatile. Yes it’s impractical to have a few terabytes printed out, but if stored properly, it’ll last longer than digital media storage.

Another thing to consider:
If things go full on crazy, like they seem likely to do, being in possession of improper knowledge could be a capital offence when the thought police come knocking.

They’re trying to get a backpedal on the “no insulting the Russian people for their government’s actions” rule

awake at 4 am, and have to be at work at 7

This is just my life. I could probably stay in bed until 5.30 at the latest, but then I’d be in a rush, and might get fucked by traffic.

Folks can underestimate how hard digging narrow holes in the ground can be.

Since it was taken, clearly.

Yer doin god’s work son…

Well…shoot…guess I’ll buy that for a dollar!

Ffs…what a nightmare!

But if they don’t do everything they can to obfuscate the ramifications of voting No then everyone would vote Yes!

They know what they’re doing is against the wishes of the majority, otherwise they would put the choices in plain language, or weight the obfuscation the other way…

There’s been several articles in the past 10 years pointing out that kids going for IT and CompSci degrees in college/uni are often not aware of file structures. The thought is that they are so used to just saving something on a mobile device, and when they want to use/send/view it, the apps just comb the whole system and present files that fit the required extension formats.

Wait til you learn about Gerrymandering. I’ll not get into it in depth, but essentially the local/state government in the US will set up voting regions to guarantee that one party has a massive advantage.

To discourage people from voting. As was pointed out elsewhere, the Republicans only really flourish when a small number of people vote. So they make it as inconvenient as possible for people who are lower income, usually people of colour.

Like I replied to someone else FL has been “running well in wine” for ages now. I’ve just never managed to get it functioning at all, like I wasn’t having audio issues or anything…because the one click wouldn’t work for me, and manually setting it never worked for me either. It’s been about 2 years now since I tried, and this recall bullshit means that if I can’t get it running I’ll just switch to something else and change my workflow.
