Been up to my insane shenanigans again: decided to go and visit the Jellyfish Nebula, so now my ship the Mobile Gravity Well 2 (A Type 10 Defender, a ship wholly unsuitable to use as an exploration ship...) is about 4,000 lightyears from my 'home' system in Daesitiates and still heading out. 1,500 lightyears left to cover to my target system.

Would probably be faster if I didn't keep stopping along the way.

A screenshot from Elite Dangerous showing The Mobile Gravity Well 2 landed on the surface of a rocky world, the red disk of a a brown dwarf star hangs just over the horizon with a sprinkling of stars visible in the sky.

🦾 ARM / Snapdragon X Elite on laptops with Linux :linux:

Qualcomm has been working to upstream Linux support for this high-end "System on a Chip" device asset!

◉Snapdragon X Elite is a bit of a momentum for ARM powered processing
◉Upon success it'll disrupt the x86-processor (e.g. Intel dominated market)
◉One of ARM's benefits is great battery life

I'd love someone to make an Elite TV show spin-off. There is no shortage of novels and novellas with material to adapt.

'...CEO stated that a “long-term employee of 17 years… has been in the hospital...'

Yes, and the CEO should donate his days off first to set the moral example. At a minimum.

These fucking assholes have forgotten even the meaning of or .

Do they even have an ethos?

An anecdote with regard to the #FairnessDoctrine.
A little #thread.

As a preliminary matter, it’s difficult to get good info about the fairness doctrine because corporate media, of all stripes, loved its repeal. It makes money for both the #fox and #nbc #propaganda wings.

What’s the Fairness Doctrine, you ask? In a nutshell, it was an FCC policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses to present controversial issues of public importance, while doing so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints.

It was repealed in 1987 under the #Reagan administration, enthusiastically lap dogging to monied #elite media owners.

That’s background. You can read more at the link below.

Now for the impact, as told through an anecdotal experience I had today.

This is a very important piece.
If there is any lemonade to be made of the lemon that is the war, it has to be exposing the rot in the U.S.

They sold our industrial policy to enrich themselves and cripple the working class. They treated our defense capabilities like a casino.

They lord their superiority over YOU, while simultaneously ruling over the demise of our nation.

I despise them.

I finally looked up how to disassemble a Pilot Elite (in theory, there are so many different models, but the procedure is likely similar). I guess I’ll have to buy a pair of tweezers as seen in the video. I want to look up the date codes for my Pilot Elites, but some of them have the code on the hidden part of the nib, so I looked up how to disassemble. However, this video stops short of removing the nib, which is not as helpful. 😛

Several years ago, the scientist Michael Bang Petersen… wanted to understand why people share on the Internet. He & other researchers designed a study that involved showing participants blatantly false stories about & , such as , , , & Donald .

…researchers came up w/a term to describe the motivation behind…all-purpose mongers. They called it the “need for chaos,”…defined as“a mindset to gain ” by destroying…established order.…nearly ⅓ of respondents demonstrated need for …. And for~5% of voters, oldfashioned party allegiances to the DemocraticParty or the RepublicanParty melted away & were replaced by a desire to see the entire destroyed—even w/o a plan to build something better in the ashes.

@bitflipped two of my favorite screenshots that I've used as my desktop backgrounds for aaaages (from an expedition I was doing with a few other people), this was on the horizons launch day in 2015. You can get such cool shots in elite.

(the expedition was to ritualistically feed ourselves to the black hole, hence the cheap ships, but it ended in a bust, there's an invisible wall that prevented you, your ship just stops :/ )

An #AI mania explanation thread:

Consider this:
When the U.S. Constitution was drafted human beings were entirely capable of comprehensively understanding nearly every aspect of how the world around them worked.

How to grow food. Run a business. Understand emerging topics in science, math, philosophy and the arts. The optimism running through the renaissance thinkers is not surprising.

The drafters of the Constitution were masters of their world (to often unfortunately include slaves). They were confident in their direction moving into the future because they could predict the future --- based on their comprehensive knowledge of their present.

A little similarity observation :

I'm a very kinda lawyer in a very rightist kinda region.

In meeting with clients over the years, I note that they often like to talk about politics. I'm not entirely sure why. Some, perhaps do so to "feel out" whether I'm their type of attorney. Some maybe think lawyers have some deeper political insight due to their connection to the law. I don't know. I just know it happens with great regularity.

And being a leftist in an extremely rightist world, you can imagine my discomfort.

Fortunately, I've found a strategy that seems to allow me to bond with clients no matter how rightwhackadoodle they seem. Are you ready for it?

It’s not strange.

It’s #MutualAid flowing naturally from what is essentially the world first #class free #anarchist platform.

It’s only seems strange because we’re so accustomed to screaming into the wind at the #elite who are the object of the #corporate platforms’ attention #economy.

Left to our own devices, it’s a no brainer that we help one another weather the insanity the elite daily thrust upon on all of us.

A pretty kind review of Liberation! Especially considering the initial release version had a few bugs.
