In my experience with conservatives, black athletes broke that barrier a long time ago. The modern version is anything gay - if they see a gay character in a tv show, “everything’s gay now”.

If enough freedom fighters have the guts to post enough memes, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.

You’re right, What if they publish cheat codes for all Steam games, thus freeing humanity from corporate exploitation???!!!

Feeling like Sheldon when you’re not Sheldon.

I’m actually fine with Linux being for people who are into knowing how their computers work and Windows/MacOS for people who aren’t.

Mad Max: Shits of Fury

Biggest free download site is probably https://www.oldradioworld.com/

There’s also the Internet Archive - https://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio

If you like sci-fi I highly recommend X Minus One - https://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/X_Minus_One.php

The curve is leveling off in the typical manner of a plateau starting. It’s “plateauing”.

I listen to mp3 all the time. Back in the Napster days I collected a ton of music, but moreover I’m a fan of Old Time Radio from the 30s and 40s, so I accumulated around 10,000 of those shows. More than I’ll ever have time to listen to. Audiophiles may deride the quality level, but I don’t believe in letting perfection be the enemy of good. And even if “computers” - whatever that even means anymore lol - drop support for mp3, there will always be software that plays it as long as there are people with big collections of files they don’t want to take the trouble to convert to something else.

Somewhat, but I’m thinking of the future of federation as a torrenty mesh of peers with no actual hosting “service” that can be turned off. That’s how I picture the Cortex in the Firefly universe. When Simon as a boy is excited about getting a “source box” I imagine it’s a participant as opposed to just an endpoint.

Federated as opposed to using a Wordpress hosting service etc that can be turned off by someone’s business decision.

I can’t upvote this strongly enough. Social media is doing everything in the establishment’s favor - especially ingraining the habit of glancing at a news item and making an instant value judgement with minimal thought before scrolling along to the next item. It’s not just that endless scrolling and venting take time away from real action, it’s the encouragement of superficial thinking. People who get all their info from memes are solid gold to con men like Trump who depend on triggering simplistic kneejerk conclusions. They got conservatives to worship him by not thinking too much, and they can do the same to liberals.
