It's a feature-creeped and bloated beyond hell project that is unmaintainable. Muh xz is deflection. Do not ever install a distribution that relies on systemd.

The BSD projects are much better in every aspect, especially OpenBSD

>OpenBSD
I'm getting good vibes.

>A backdoor in xz/liblzma tools
This a video from 3 years ago and reuploaded 3 months ago.
The guy prophecies exactly what just happened and wonders how many other sleeping backdoors are in the code.

>Do not ever install a distribution that relies on systemd
The awareness is growing fast, even among systemd fanboys.

New crypto named Jews Did 911.
This is for real.

if only people ACTUALLY used them as currency, you never see anyone actually buying things with it, all anyone ever does with crypto is throw money at it and hope a greater fool comes along willing to pay more that they paid for it before the rug pull. nobody buys stuff with it, it's all speculating and if they make a profit they sell it for cash and still buy stuff with their national currency which defeats the purpose of crypto entirely

>>3208
Exactly. It's what we get for offshoring all of our manufacturing. We currently have 1%-2% of global ship building capacity. China has 50%. There are arguments to be made about quality control, but with that vast gap, it doesn't matter.
When technology is phased out or neglected, expertise and infrastructure required to produce, repair, or redesign it atrophies.

>>3206
Aircraft manufacturing is already cratering. You may have noticed stories about a number of factory fresh Boeing airliners undergoing spontaneous disassembly in midair. It seems like at Boeing ESG scores and DEI trump people not dying, so they're hiring illiterate IQ-55 crackhead niggers straight out of prison cells and then making the surprised Pikachu face when Dayshawn and Rastus show up high and drill the holes in the wrong places, causing doors to fall off, engines to burst into flames, and worse. No one's died yet. Airline passengers and crew probably aren't going to stay this lucky forever. And when this causes several hundred people to get turned into lumpy red applesauce some morning, I can assure you that nobody from Boeing's C-suite is going to get arrested for manslaughter, self-evident depraved indifference to human life notwithstanding.

>Outsourcing jobs had a lot to do with it as well, which was basically the fault of unions.
Unions were a meager piece of the entire puzzle, and that entire puzzle is that corporate culture is a bunch of sheep in wolves clothing: follow the guy who has the most money and earns the most money.

The culture of business itself caused the outsourcing problem.

>>3261
Way to sage an insightful post.

>>3261
The solution to this is unironically fascism, which uses left-wing organizational tactics (trade unions, guilds, etc), but also has free market enterprise controlled by nationalist causes.

>The United States Has Lost The Technology To Build Icebreaker Ships
If America has not any borders with the Arctic as Canada, then why building them? Wasting money in showing the flag belongs to the past, I think.

I rescind ADA. Go with Algorand instead. Bittrex is dying processing ADA orders.

>>1294
this except silver

>>1298
it's all to get people to accept the new central bank token they are cooking up, once they come out with it they won't allow bitcoin to exist and if they can't kill it completely they will make it illegal to use or tax the SHIT out of you if you do

>>1296
I want to love silver, I really do. but they won't let it spike in price like they will other stuff, silver is in the 20ish dollar range, the same as it was in 2008, you have lost money to inflation owning it because aside from a few big spikes here and there it trades flat for decades at a time

>>3235
tbh it could look much better, but hey that's more a thing that is fun, and has an utility.

https://elekitsorparts.com/product/npr-70-modem-by-f4hdk-new-packet-radio-over-70cm-band-amateur-radio-packet-radio/

I hope to be able to shit post with all of you during the happening.

>>3234
So basically as long as I use the radio under 2W it's legal?
What do you think about other packet-radio protocols such as LoRaWAN(proprietary) or DASH7(more open)? AMPRNet requires one to register ones callsign to optain an IP address so that falls mostly out of the question.

>>3239
LoRa is pretty cool pretty sure anything over HAM requires a callsign in the U.S. Someone should really challenge that in court.

>>3238
After todays events everyone should buy at least two of these.

>>3238
yes that's the big idea, of having a wireless, long distance network to at least exchange text and some jpeg with the adequate protocol, mostly x.25 or maybe even IP addressing as if it was a 56K modem behind. then it's a story of bandwidth, we had to make one like this in EE college as part of the test, that was a loong time ago. Now you can find ardunios for almost nothing.

>>3239
it depends so much on the regions, here the anfr allows the 446MHz PMR for free with 18channels but at 0,5w and iirc, 466 in the US/canada so if you go with a boofwang and stay mobile away, don't get caught transmitting above one watt, and if really all coms are down, jump on the VHF/ham frequencies as a last resort, scan the frequencies, listen and ask politely, it's not /b/. don't saturate things unless they are the enemy, then you can plug in some mp3 player and rickroll away.

>>3241
the whole thing about transmission should be covered by free speech, and i wish we had some free VHF channels to transmit on, this is more useful than just having a kilometre range of transmission with the 446.

Honestly? I think cyberpunk is engaging because it demonstrates the more fantastic and excessive grit encountered in dystopia. I think that if the anxiety pertaining to mass surveillance, rogue AI, urban sprawl and cybernetic cognitohazards aren't compelling in their own right, it's the nostalgic imagery and retro-futurism that endears an audience to its trappings.

As far as biopunk is concerned, I'd think that all but the most invested cast it aside much like they would dieselpunk and the other disparately related settings. Even steampunk appears to have been in decline, in spite of having some mainstream presence 12 or so years ago.

I think that despite advances in genetic engineering, people would prefer more grotesque imagery like body horror. John Carpenter and David Cronenberg seem more ingrained in the public consciousness than works exploring gene manipulation and biology-warping drugs. That being written, do you know any biopunk novels worth reading?

>AI sponge
I saw a bit from it. The one about kerosene and shit. But I've never thought about what it would mean for pony. Interesting stuff ahead.

>>2598
Anyone here could put in the effort to learn to make their own version of this. But don't count on it.

So it looks like there is Anon trying to create a ai powered Ponyville. I hope he will succeed because the idea sound pretty fun.

A study in Australia found out bad parenting means children don't develop language as well.
Same study blames technology for bad parenting.
Because the parents aren't speaking to children and aren't using new adult words the child gets handicapped and speaks much less than those of a similar age.
This is how another pillar the collapse occurrs, shear neglect as the tried and true means of knowledge transfer crumbles even more.

Setting a kid down infront of a tablet isn't enough.
Because of the exhausting of time (labor, distractions, ect.) deliberately choosing to have quality time is increasingly important and difficult.
I wonder what happens when massive waves of unsocialized people do their thing.

He says our HP printer when he really means their HP printer.

>>3264
HP sucks, new DYMO thermal printers suck now also because they added the same DRM stuff printers use, if you don't use DYMO brand labels it won't print

>>3264
That's some serious bullshit.
