Hmm, sounds like a nice tie-in to anonymous USB dead-drop sites and so on. Go connect to a tree somewhere, upload your new .snk files, download any new ones placed there since your last visit :)

Maybe have a Meshtastic solar-powered node feeding new .snk files onto it too, from afar!

The true tragedy is (or will be shortly) that he never saw any sort of repercussions for the destruction of US government and probably the nation itself, that he orchestrated. The stuffing of the SCOTUS (and the opposite stonewalling of the opposing party’s SCOTUS nominees, cynically “too close to an election”)… the logjamming of any meaningful legislation over and over and over again, etc.

Just like Drumpf will likely never face any consequences and will die rich, powerful, and with rich corrupt children in power. Life just isn’t fair, really – there is no divine justice.

And now SSD and hard drive prices. Keep your tech going, it’s going to be a long few years, if ever, before affordability returns. They (cloud and AI tech-holes) want local compute and storage to be unaffordable so we use their crap. F-ck that, I’m gonna scavenge whatever I can to keep self-hosting to the bitter end.

Sure, but lots of people thought it was crazy conspiracy thinking that the NSA backdoored certain Elliptic Curves CSPRNGs years ago… yet it turned out they in fact did, and successfully, and it took years to come out. Whether or not some ‘threat model’ applies to the situation.

The chances of a normal person being targeted by some obscure NSA backdoor is very low, certainly; but that doesn’t refute the historical fact that they do try to subvert standards processes.

?!?! It’s alive? thanks!

https://warehouse23.com/basement by Steve Jackson Games was hours of fun back when it existed. Think of the giant warehouse at the end of ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ (SyFy also ripped the idea off in the show ‘Warehouse 13’).

Indeed, beat me to it. Now is the time to make it hurt for these stupid C-levels execs. Oh, and UNIONIZE ASAP.

Agreed, but hey no need to pile the the hate on Pascal, modern ones like FPC/Lazarus are pretty cool actually :)

And that’s why they’re trying underhanded tactics to inflate earnings and IPO directly into the index funds, so every American’s 401K will legally have to rebalance and invest in them. They’re racing to fleece retirement funds before the bubble bursts.

Not financial advice, of course :p but people should really consider getting their stuff out and into self-directed funds or whatever it is US people do to not depend on auto-allocated funds.

Ow. That sounds horrible. I’m glad I’d never heard of it then, I guess. :(

I’m at the age now where I actually feel relieved if I hear news that Hollywood has decided not to go ahead with a prequel, remake, ‘re-imagining’, or whatever… and I purposefully avoid now the ones that sound like they’re going to be a disaster.

Max Headroom could work, IFF they went full-bore with the mockery of media, corporatism-as-government and cynical view of advertising. Though the desolation inside and outside the cities and the plight of ‘blanks’ might hit too close to home nowadays as it’s pretty much a literal reality now.

I’ve had bees clock me at high-speed in the forehead while biking, which sucks (for me and the bee I expect) – but swallowing one whole? Wow.

If you feel guilty, as penance go hand-pollinate a few flowers each morning for the next few days. There’s work to be done! :)

Nah, a cheque or large buy of trump/melania coin or a tacky ‘gold’ trophy would do it too.

Fuck Kevin O’Leary.

Ah, OK. I get that angle.

Big corps always wave away debt if they can pay it off via revenue, or future promises of revenue, or … reasons. Why is it different here? Honest question. They have more cash on hand, it seems, than their current debt, so could pay that at any time. Why is it a true liability?

Nice ad hominim BTW. I’m neither stoned nor a teenager, and make no pretense to be some financial guru.

But that same link says they have $9B in Working Capital and Invested Capital. What’s the true net value then?

From article:

The proposal does not sound like a “terribly good offer” as it would saddle eBay with GameStop’s debt, said retail industry analyst Sucharita Kodali from market research firm Forrester.

Uh… Gamestop has , depending on who one asks, no debt, or some sort of convertible thing to do with their warrant issuing last year. This article seems mis-informed. It’s an ambitious gambit, but would certainly not saddle E-Bay with any significant new debt.

?? that looks like it’s misinterpreting two word fragments across the two adjacent pages. There’s a page line right down the center of that screenshot.

“…to his great astonishment, he positively observed…” “…and tradesmen who purchase our poison…”
