“If I die, I want a loud death,” Hassouna wrote on social media. “I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.”

That was a tall order, but she managed it.

I wanted to type something hopeful uplifting, but that’s just not reality at the moment. I just hope (beg) that some day we can look back at these times and see them as horrors of the past, the way we see the Holocaust during WWII, and not just another Tuesday.

If you want a realistic and likely scenario of what a global UBI implementation could look like, Iook no further than The Expanse book series (not well covered in the TV series).

Ever since Trump took office in 2016, publications like Teen Vogue have been going hard, and I am all for it.

Which poison do I pick first, Dwarf Fortress or Caves of Qud?

The American success story is in great part attributed to a steady stream of immigrants ready to and willing to exploit and be exploited for the promise of a better life for themselves or their children. Disrupt the flow of immigrants and the system might collapse.

I’ve been expecting WW3 since 1983.

Chrome is capped at 1080p and has more lag.

Browser is capped at 1080p and the experience is mediocre at best (and laggy) when compared to the native app. I run at 1440p and it is smooth as butter with no noticeable lag.

Geforce Now is literally the only Windows app I’ve got left. A Linux app would be the nail in the coffin for Windows in my environment.
