@lunareclipse @dequbed @kopper from the citation on wikipedia on IPsec there was definitely thinking about messing with routing from at&t but you'd still be trusting the network to do it for you instead of describing source routing through trusted proxies by hand https://web.archive.org/web/20140903145752/http://www.toad.com/gnu/netcrypt.html

Antifascist Spiderman posters seen around Minneapolis.
The posters portray far-right influencer Jack Lang being hit by an anti-racist dressed as Spiderman outside Minneapolis City Hall on August 22.

A Runza sandwich is a big piroshki. Fascinated to learn the history. I love it.

PARADISE (1989)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28" x 38"

Though it is a very different novel, Mike Resnick's PARADISE recalls for me some of the themes in Ray Bradbury's THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. 1/4

(And, yes, I pronounced “patriarchy” the British way multiple times in this episode, for some reason. I blame British TV.)

@octothorpe @caseyliss @stephenrobles Don't forget rent-seeking from all other businesses! It's a big one.

🌐 With 370+ campers & 350+ sessions & activities, there was no way to experience everything at DWeb Camp. That’s part of the point: JOMO, the joy of missing out.

On Aug. 27, hear about projects & takeaways from Camp with Matthew Hodgson, Arushi Bandi & Alaska.

@arstechnica Up to this point in our existence, there has never been a programming language which wasn't purpose-built or "intelligently" designed by human beings. To find what amounts to a organic, naturally self-generated programming language kind of boggles the mind, but nevertheless, here we are.

Calls for “the public” to “own ‘AI’” are just a transparent attempt to make the general populace hold the trillion-dollar bag for a con game.

There is no reason ordinary people need to pick up the tab for this particular Ponzi scheme.
