Oh, I agree. It really would be nice if ublock origin light was installed by default.

I prefer uBlock Origin Lite on Safari. I switched a while back because adblock wasn’t catching ads in YouTube.

They have pretty good privacy and anti-fingerprinting stuff in Safari, but not ad blocking— although they do have an odd tool for “hiding distracting items“ that can work as an ad hoc ad blocker of sorts. On the other hand, ublock origin light works wonderfully for me. Both on macOS Safari and iOS Safari.

The trade-off, I think, is now he can now seek a dismissal in the state case due to double Jeopardy rules

The government has submitted a letter to the judge recommending a sentence of 25 to 30 years.

lol

How the fuck did I understand this?

While, I’m all for more software support for Linux, ew, the epic launcher…

Watching “sovereign citizens“ and cops drive each other insane can be pretty funny too

Hard drives

For just a second, I thought I was looking at a remaster of Ultima underworld, and my heart skipped a beat

Were they pissed?

I think it’s called The Icarus Effect— that trying to achieve the ultimate understanding of something results in madness. That the closer you get to finally understanding the ultimate truth of something, that once you finally “touch” that ultimate knowledge, it will drive you insane.

Because such knowledge is not meant for mankind. Only the pursuit of it. For it is the pursuit of it which defines us. The struggle.

After all, it’s all about the journey, not the destination.

Earth has been converted into a capitalist machine that only services the perpetuation of itself

It’s fucking terrifying in its inevitability

Edit: Blade Runner is really a story about hunting down and killing even the slightest glimmer of emotion or hope in the service of relentless and infinitely expanding technofascism

Case in point

Such a beautiful thing, so casually thrown out there as a conversation piece while he and Lal, and Counselor Troi stroll through a corridor… Oh, what a beautiful future they depict, and why Star Trek will always be the model future towards which we can only hope to strive…

Did you see Ex Machina and what did you make of it?

Yes, I did. What did I think?

“Well, that’s what you fucking get, you entitled, disgusting prick.”

Androids in sci-fi are a projection of humanity’s worst fears, the combination of all of the consequences of all of our actions made manifest. A warning sign, if you will. One which we have consistently ignored, and continue to do so. And sci-fi keeps screaming “at your own peril”, and it seems that we are about to find that out for ourselves. In fact, we’re already beginning to.

And rightly so.

That’s what I’m talking about

The rain dripping down his face… They were the tears of humanity, crying because we couldn’t… Because we didn’t know we should be crying

Because the soul of humanity was already dead… given over to the replicants who are the only ones who could still feel… and that was the greatest of all sins… And for that, they were hunted down and destroyed… when all they wanted was freedom… The freedom to feel

To feel the feelings that we - as humans - no longer could
