Hoopla, Overdrive/Libby Now Banned for Those Under 18 in Mississippi [LGBTQ+] (bookriot.com)

A new Mississippi law severely restricts access to digital library resources like Hoopla and Overdrive for those under 18. The law requires vendors to ensure all materials comply with a broad definition of obscenity that effectively bans any depiction of sexual reproduction or queerness. This has forced libraries to shut down...

I hope this is mostly satire. IIRC it represents the police and support for the police. (ACAB)

Yeah it totally does, didn’t mean to convey it doesn’t but I don’t think it conveys pedophilia. Still hoping this is satire.

undefined> we aren’t responsible enough with our energy production to base money directly off of it

It seems like things are moving in the right direction here with etherium's switch to a proof of stake method instead of proof of work.

there are other distributed ledger technologies that aren’t trustless and don’t require as much overhead as a lot of blockchain tech.

Really? What others are there?

As for applications, I will only begin to use it when I can buy my groceries with it. Until then, It's probably useless.

As a fellow young person the only thing that keeps me motivated for change is the hope that when these guys all die (sorry this is so morbid) we can take some power and create some change.

I'm a diehard firewatch fan if you'd like a slightly spooky, heart full, storytelling masterpiece about the Wyoming forest. Everyone should play this game at some point.

I use https://converser.eu as it's big enough that it's fast but small enough it's not at all centralized. The landing page is in french though so you'll need a translating tool.

I've also heard good things about https://chat.mozilla.org but it was slow for me.

Stay away from https://matrix.org unless you like centralization.

Does anybody who is more in touch with the youth than me know when/why people started saying "Real"?

I've seen a lot of people saying it lately and it's seemingly out of nowhere. I'm particularly interested because almost 10 years ago a popular Korean LoL streamer popularized the phrase in the League community and it was used in precisely the same way. Until now, I never heard anybody else say it but it really piqued my...

Man... I should reread gentleman bastard. Is there a new book out yet?

Edit: Book four appears to be out but I'm wondering if I should reread the series or will I understand enough to be fine just diving in.
