1. The Wheel of Time
2. The Dark Tower
3. The Expanse

Yes. Suggesting quiet civility in the face of complete disregard for your fellow countrymen is deference. A riot was not suggested. Standing up was.

Neither that nor am I showing deference to the wealthy traitors running roughshod over our government turning it into an authoritarian kleptocracy.

There is a middle ground here in the real world.

This is very not what civil politics look like unless of course one loves the taste of boot. Mmm boots.

I get what you’re saying, but in that case the google.com interface isn’t a search engine; nor the load balancers and proxies between it and the search application backend. And then, maybe those don’t count because there is some special sauce in database procedures that are the real workhorses.

Pedantry all the way down.

DDG has been superb for me for a few years now often returning results I prefer over Google. I’m really pleased with it.

Assets don’t have to have be in on it intentionally. A tank is an asset. A forest at the border can be an asset. But to be an agent takes volition and consensual involvement.

This is so stupid. He is an asset, whether intentionally or not. Russian media is having a heyday with him. Whether he is an “agent” or not remains ambiguous, but he is absolutely an “asset” to them.

There are at least two projects trying. Ladybird is one and will make a splash next year. In addition, since the Servo project was adopted by the Linux Foundation it is again under active development.

My mistake. I didn’t look far enough into it. But the accusation was made without context so I didn’t know. I’m not trying to defend him.

I don’t know. But rather than just accepting the assertion, I did a cursory search. This turned up and I perused it. I didn’t see anything damning and thought maybe somebody could clarify. I am absolutely not trying to defend anybody, but I didn’t spend much time on it. Sorry folks.

Maybe he is a bad guy. Truly, I didn’t know.

I didn’t know anything about this, but it doesn’t sound as bad with context.

edit: Removed link to a site which shouldn’t be receiving more traffic. I should have vetted it more thoroughly.

I’m not convinced those are mutually exclusive.

Pretty sure they meant seppuku.

This comment under the article gave me a chuckle.

The irl equivalent of “flaired users only”.

It was time to retire 20 years past. It’s time to give back all the money she stole from her communities with all the insider trading bullshit.

Absolutist… ish

Still good to articulate all the violations. Well informed populace and all that jazz.
