Transparent ratfuckery. Like, I'm not happy about him as the option, but anything else is disconnected from reality.

Better Rocketdyne than Hanford. And yeah, I get why they renamed it, with a name that notorious.

While it's not quite as pretty, the Dell 8k monitor is half the cost, if you can drive it

I don't think the delayed vote is sufficient — e.g. on the current case, if that speech in Mandarin occurs at the next con, the Chinese government will absolutely visit penalties on the team that allowed them to be nominated even if they had no control over the vote. They might even find themselves in hot water if the "this country isn't free" mechanism was activated at all, regardless of the outcome.

I believe that depends whether the device has use cases where surviving the owner is a requirement.
While I believe this applies to relatively few pieces of container electronics, I'm not willing to say there are none.

The annoying thing about mastodon is that I don't have an easy way to figure out what the subtoots are about

The Mont Blanc I inherited (old enough that they were really a pen company still, not whatever monster they've turned into now) leaked and was generally terrible to write with. My €80 Rotring is plenty pretty, never leaks, and writes quite nicely even as a lefty. I find first drafts come easier on paper, and it's nice to have the experience feel nice.

Culturally, I feel like a lot of the problem is (shockingly) capitalism. If you start taking the analysis of incentive, affordance, and participation patterns seriously, you immediately see that the biggest problem with most collaborative systems is the company running them. Which of course you can't permit yourself to see, so the disciplines have remained weirdly warped and stunted. Hence too, maybe, techs fetish for quant over qual — less likely to get upsetting answers.

Why is this not happening in every European country, as an absolute minimum?
