...ideas no longer belong to, or are controlled by, those who share them. This fact is willfully misunderstood over and over again.

These are all good in their own ways; Budgie is great for getting things done by getting out of the way.

Yes, that would be great. Please share if you know so we can block away!

"Relevant" for who? Google will choose what's relevant to them (more clicks, etc.) over what's relevant to you. I don't want relevance; I want search results that line up with the actual words I'm searching for. /Google has been worthless since they got rid of decent boolean searches.

YouTube, for instance, is nigh unwatchable without this option. Once you start watching / listening to things at higher rates of speed, it is really hard to go back and put up with "normal" speed. Part of this has to do with the fact that huge patches of every show / movie are filler, don't move anything along, or are irrelevant to the story being told. Those parts are much easier to sit through when they speed along â" otherwise, I'm just going to use the scrubber option to jump ahead and over every silly romantic subplot, scene where characters yap at each other, or exposition scene, just as I've been doing for the past 10 years anyway.

Look at the oodles of acres devoted to growing "food" (and fuel) that could be used for something useful â" corn is a disaster, environmentally and nutritionally (just as plant-based agriculture was, as the archaeological record makes clear â" people suffered health-wise, and with it came people living close to each other, and the crime and suffering that comes from that). Do also check out this video by Peter Ballerstedt â" there is good evidence that meat is no problem at all, unlike traditional plant-based agriculture.

Really? Banting has a long history in SA (and elsewhere), plenty of evidence behind it, and won over Dr. Noakes from being a supporter of diets far closer to the status quo based on research. Offhanded editorializing like the above didn't belong in the article quoted.

That hadn't come to mind. Good call.

It's clear that it's time to grab the old 6502 design and modernize it â" let's call it the 656464. A 7nm, 64-core, 64-bit version (basically change nothing else other than needed glue between the chips, memory linkages, and the instruction width), with a decent cache attached, would not take up all that much die space, and would be really interesting, albeit slow in many ways due to a good number of modern tricks not being in place. But without those tricks many security issues they cause could be avoided, and they could be added in to later versions after extensive vetting. (And yes, RISC-V could be a step this way.)

Unless there is a mechanism to keep non-workers out of neighborhoods where workers live, there will be massive crime. We'll have a population of people who have the basics met, but who won't have extra money for luxuries (or whatever is a step up from basic) and who will also have all the time in the world on their hands. Resentment will build, boredom will take over, and workers will regularly come home to find their homes looted, with cops who will care less about it than even now. Sounds fun, man.

Paging Wittgenstein!

This tell you all you need to know â" ads are now officially surveillance tools. Why they'd admit such a thing is unclear. Continue to block, block, block away.

Rather than, ""Every single link to non-trusted websites should open, by default, in a Private/Incognito window," it should read, ""Every single link should open, by default, in a Private/Incognito window." In fact, there should be no way for a website to determine where else you've been. Sandbox everything; it's the only way to force advertisers and tracking companies to do things differently.

Cookies, etc., should never be able to see each other without permission. Let's hope this trend continues.
