Yes. But they didn’t have a megaphone to reach millions with one post. They were rightfully looked at as crazy assholes and mostly stayed in the dark.

That’s the idea, overwhelm people with massive amounts of information and misinformation, and people start tuning out and not caring anymore. One thing I did learn from those “propaganda” sources of days past was that the Holocaust was real, a fuckton of minorities were brutally murdered, and Nazis are fucksticks who need to be stamped out at every opportunity.

That is something I’ve actually seen actively changing in the past 20 years. When I was a kid/teen, we never fucking questioned it. Now the Internet is full of Holocaust deniers. Just spreading that shit from person to person like a virus.

We didn’t blindly trust other sources either. Filtering and research is a skill you learn to use on any source of info you’re given. Public schools used to teach us how to do this. Do they not anymore?

The world’s space industry would be even more impressive if we didn’t have these stupid fucking hangups and worked together with them on that front. Just like Russia and the US working to build ISS.

Back in my day we were perfectly capable of checking our own facts. A rare skill these days.

I have an idea. Make it so every time you create a social media account, you have to check “agree” to a giant banner that says “if you take anything you see on here seriously, you are an idiot.”. That’s how we used to automatically treat things on the Internet at first glance.

Bitcoin is open source, released as such by Satoshi themselves. How do you claim IP on that?

Tankies gonna tankie.

According to Beeks, OpenNebula has enabled the company to dedicate more of its 3,000 bare metal server fleet to client loads instead of to VM management, as it had to with VMware. With OpenNebula purportedly requiring less management overhead, Beeks is reporting a 200 percent increase in VM efficiency since it now has more VMs on each server.

Salt in the wound for VMware.

Firefox, GCC, VS Code (sorry, but Microsoft actually made something decent there, and yes, I do feel dirty using it).

My computer is on a workbench that already has a mess of wires and electronic components on it. One less wire is great. I barely game. I don’t need the quick response.

That’s what some third parties do for ancient OSes that can no longer use Windows Update but where people want to at least have the last patches made for it, like when people make retro machines. There’s an installer package out there that will apply every Windows 98 update ever released in one go. Same for XP I think.

Well…right now it’s being used to cheat on homework and generate infinite anime tiddies…so just a matter of time, I guess?

Stashing it on the shelf next to my copy of the Windows 2000 source code…

“Mom, I want Scrabble.”

“We have Scrabble at home…”

Plus it’ll make it easier to quickly restack everything for multiple launches, for stuff like orbital assembly and refueling. We’ll be able to replace the ISS in a week with this thing, once they get a small workhorse fleet going.

I would think involving civilians usually is. Not like it’s a first for them.

Thank you for your service, Marine.

Yes but millions were also providing that data for free until Reddit decided it was all theirs to control and monetize. Don’t blame the users.

Any government that is trying to promote “transparency” and their own national security should be using open source software.
