I have not, but my robot has!

Then dig his corpse up too and give it cybernetic augmentations with which to kill its enemies

I literally swapped to Librewolf before the Rossman video was done. I was on Brave Browser before, but it’s based on Chromium. Fuck Chromium and fuck Google. Fuck this shitty amoeba that tries to spread into and control everything.

I will post stupid shit on my federated forum and you will fucking live with it Google. Fuck you. Burn. It’s time to break up the internet monopolies and do some trust busting. Someone pull FDR’s rotten corpse out of the grave and put it back to work.

I actually just read this book for the first time recently.

I find myself very interested in the character of Wintermute, more so than Neuromancer.

I haven’t read count zero yet

That intro with the androids half taken apart on the assembly lines is gold!

Those are some very intricate and dangerous looking hindclaws!

Nobody is going to say it here? I really, really like Syndicate. The original one.

I’m glad it didn’t, because the bulky 80s tech looks cool as hell and I’m glad it’s a thing.

This definitely looks interesting!

It’s a shame it doesn’t seem to indicate any sort of RPG elements or incorporate a living city, instead basically being Doom with a cyberpunk paint scheme.

Still, it looks exciting! Hope it continues to get developed.

My understanding from the Forgotten Firearms video is that so far the system looks pretty mechanically secure. No silly magnet tricks or RFID stealing here. As for electronic security, neither him or me are an expert in that domain so the jury’s still out, but it’s encouraging to know that all biometric data (print, face scan) is encrypted and stored locally! In fact, it’s stored directly on the gun. How’s that for data security? You have to steal my gun out of my hand and then decrypt it to get my deets :3

Fuck, decrypting a gun to steal biometric data is so cyberpunk.

They have two methods right now, finger print and face scan. If either method verifies, then the gun authenticates. It’s designed for indoor use rather than daily carry. The face scan camera uses an infra red light projector to illuminate your face in dark conditions and rain (if you have to go outside for some reason, not recommended)

So, in the specific circumstances of being a gun you leave on the night stand and don’t carry around everywhere it seems pretty good. I wish it had a third verification method though.

As a gun owner, frequent sport shooter, and occasional hunter, I actually don’t mind this.

The old insane NJ law was taken off the books, and this thing isn’t designed for daily carry. It’s meant to be a desk gun or table gun you can just leave lying out and fully loaded. Indoors, close to its charging station, the combo of fingerprint scanner and face scanner (either authenticates) is pretty darn reliable.

I just wish it had another, third method of authentication. It should have 3 ID methods, any of which can authenticate the user, in case the other 2 fail.

I would absolutely get this if I had money and leave it on my desk at all times. As long as no states try to mandate it, thus gating pistol ownership behind finances (it’s a multi thousand dollar gun), I’m good with it existing.

Seems like a pretty reasonable request. Hopefully they get the tools they’re after and then everyone can be even more connected again!

Okay, guess I just won’t use it then if they defed from my primary instance. Glad they did this now and not later when they became bigger and more important.

If they’re that into making a safe space then fine. Hopefully some other people will also make more free spaces and both of them can exist and everyone can be happy.

I realize that is a highly optimistic outlook to put it mildly. I must remain hopeful to avoid losing my mind, if I haven’t already -.-

This satire is an observation that the entire system is run by oligarchs. If you’re too stupid to see that, then go back to the slime pool you spawned from and leave me alone. I hope you fester and die of poverty in the shithole of a country you refuse to change. You support nothing but more endless imperialist sludge and when you are choking on your own fumes and watching your children degenerate in a homeless camp right next to you maybe you’ll understand that yes, both “sides” in this garbage can of a fucking country are oligarchical greasy turds who need to be flushed down the toilet bowl and you along with them you simpering babboon of ignorance!

May you die choking on your own hubris under the boot of the smile-fucking politician you sold your soul to on the promise of change. Curse you and everyone who thinks vaguely like you, you ox headed parody of a sentient being and accidental unpaid minion of the kleptocracy!

Oh no Linus disagrees with me about guns. Anyways, the rest of the stuff he says here is based.

Yeah, except I am and literally everyone who knows me knows that I am and it’s a well documented fact because I have a presence on the internet that you can literally just google and see for yourself.

I know this is fucking surprising for you, but Jewish people exist and can also be married to other men, and the majority of the present generation is on the left one way or the other.

Statistically speaking, you were bound to meet one eventually, and based on your behavior you were bound to inappropriately call them something they’re not.

You have two paths here: You can remain in fantasy land fervently huffing your own farts and disbelieving the reality that sits in front of your face, or you can accept that you just called a pansexual anti-capitalist jewish leftist alt right and take the L for being such a trigger happy fucking moron.

Either way?

Suck my Jewish balls removed! 😸

I fucking love Chapo.

Yeah, for real. I spend like $15 a month on filters. I wish I didn’t have to but I’m worried about getting kidney stones or some shit from the extremely hard water here.

Look, if we just recreate Reddit and 2016 Twitter, that will solve the Nazi problem on the internet. The problem isn’t that censorship didn’t work, but that those companies didn’t listen hard enough to us.

I’m confident, after literally decades of trying and failing to eliminate extremism through this method, that it will totally work on this federated platform in which it is practically impossible to actually censor anyone.

You see, the problem is actually not that we’re helping to drive alt-right people further into isolation where they engage solely with echo chambers that never challenge their beliefs, the problem is we haven’t found a way to ban every single Nazi chatroom on the internet.

However, I’m confident that once we achieve that impossible fucking task, we will finally have vanquished them. All you have to do is give power over to a bunch of censorious fucks that hate freedom and want to be the thought police of the digital world.

Personally, I see no ways in which this could backfire and seriously doubt the mechanisms of speech control we establish will ever be used against anyone I agree with. That has never happened before. History shows us that when you establish censorship, entities use that power responsibly and for the benefit of the working class.
