• “Herr Andersson, du har levt ett dubbelliv, å ena sidan är du Thomas Andersson, programerare för ett mjukvaruföretag, du har ett personnummer, betalar skatt, och hjälper din hyresvärd att slänga skräp. Den andra sidan lever enbart i datorernas värld, du kallar dig Neo, och har gjort dig skyldig till alla typer av dataintrång vi har lagar emot.”

• “Ett av dessa liv har en framtid, det andra inte. Jag ska vara så tydlig jag kan vara Herr Andersson, du är här då vi behöver din hjälp, vi vet att du varit i kontakt med en man som kallar sig själv Morpheus, vad du än må tro dig veta om denne man är irrelevant. De flesta myndigheter anser honom vara bland de farligaste personerna i världen.”

• “Min kollega där borta tycker att jag slösar med min tid när jag pratar med dig, men jag tror att du vill göra det rätta. Vi är villiga att ge dig möjligheten att få en ny chans, vi skriver av dina brott, och allt vi ber om från din sida är ditt samarbete med att ställa en terrorist inför rätta.”

• “Ok, det är ett alternativ, men jag ser ett bättre, vad sägs om att jag ber dig dra åt helvete, och du låter mig prata med min advokat?”

• "Du gör mig besviken, Herr Andersson…

• “Ni skrämmer mig inte med era Gestapofasoner, jag kan mina rättigheter, jag vill prata med min advokat!”

• “Säg mig, Herr Andersson, hur kan en advokat hjälpa dig om du inte kan prata?”

Damn!

That is a tall pantograph!

You are assuming they argue in good faith, I consider any holocaust denier to argue in bad faith and I will not engage with them.

If you see someone starting to accept their arguments, you can absolutely start questioning them and try and reason with them to get away from that scene, but a die hard holocaust denier is simply not worth your time or energy.

Just disengage and move on.

This is the first time I am hearing about that site, I have just not been in the scene much… could it be a temporary problem?

Here is the TL;DR version:

1. Remove lock screen widgets
2. Reduce motion effects
3. Disable haptic feedback

How far back are we talking?

I mean the 90s were about 30 years ago (sorry for making you feel old).

So let’s say that that I managed to find a way to travel in time, and had time to prepare for a trip to 95…

I will also assume that it is a paradox self correcting time travel deal.

I’d bring an iPhone with me, that should convince anyone that I am from the future.

While I am no fan of cryptobros, I gotta admit, that is an effective stratergy

I have very few friends, but chatbots are not the answer.

Ok, so a new FBI raid is in planning

Thank you, with the landing gear it was just a happy accident as I was still getting used to my Sigma Contemporary 100-400mm lens.

I have an excellent backpack, a Thinktank BackStory 15, I do not blame it in the slightest!

At this point, we are talking about the storage media, not the camera.

Yay, I get to store 7 photos on one 250 drive!

I just need to bring a sherpa with me to carry 215 disks for a normal outing, should only weigh 11kg

And now, these days my camera would require 20-30 floppies to store a single image

There are three ways to look at the meaning of life.

The realistic: the is no meaning of life, no grand idea behind it.

The biological: the meaning of life is to procreate.

The philosophical: The meaning of life is to make the world better than when you arrived.

Since the first two are boring to talk about, I’ll skip right to the third, making the world better than it was when you arrived.

In my case, I am an IT guy, I solve other people’s problems and enable them to do their job, making their day slightly better.

I am also a hobby photographer, who share photos for free on the internet, people seem to like them so I have made their day slightly better as well.

Perhaps I can make your day slightly better by linking my Pixelfed: https://metapixl.com/Stoy

But I don’t want my mechanical keyboard to be quiet

I have no idea of what you are trying to say…

Ceiling not always built

Place hot, ceiling trap heat, no ceiling, less heat.

I never switched, I installed Chrome, started it, saw the UI, hated it, uninstalled it.
