The problem is that at the point the FCC isn’t enforcing things by fine, if you do set up a broadcast antenna, the stations (or as you aptly said, the conglomerates) can sue you for blocking their signal, because they have a contract that says they “own” those bands. And they’ll sue you for loss of income, because if they sell less stuff by way of ads, they get less ads in the future, and then it’s all downhill.

The big challenge is, most people now watch TV either through walled-garden streaming platforms (when was the last time you watched an IPTV or IceCast stream?), cable, or satellite.

Radio might have a hope if you can get it out there, but most of that has been captured by Spotify. It’s an ongoing point of contention between my fiancee and me, because I like listening to terrestrial radio and believe that shortwave and HAM are the voices of the people, plus I listen to shoutcast / icecast “stations” regularly, and she pays for Spotify. I can’t think of the last time she used the radio built into the infotainment deck in her car instead of beaming her phone to it.

What about Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator?

Here’s hoping that he doesn’t have any impact at all.

I doubt that we’ll see any result that benefits the people.

I really just don’t particularly like Wolverine as a character, if I’m perfectly honest. Plus, Wolverine is never unarmed. Even if he’s in one of the phases where he doesn’t have adamantium, he has bone claws.

I almost agree to your initial statement. The hero’s the standard human on the bottom working to preserve order and law, and the guy on top is the thug who attacked the Hulk.

Appropriate name there.

It’s always good to have someone around you who knows exactly where you stand.

The investment should be into DOS gaming, and exclusively there.DOSBox and DOSBox-X work on Linux.

Seriously. It’s genuinely making me worry about the few past interactions I had with him as the guy who created Jill of the Jungle and ZZT. Like, what might have happened if me or any of the other kids at the computer show were alone with him? What might he have done when no one was watching?

For me -

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
• Godzilla (1954 & 1956)
• Gamera (1965)
• The Lord of the Rings (all three, extended editions)
• Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

And proof that I’m kinda a film nerd (and I had family in journalism)…

• Citizen Kane (1941)

Oh, and most Star Trek movies.

No one’s getting murdered murdered over protests

Yet.

Some of us believe in sweating it out. Some take precautions, which prolong the illness but might have a better long-term outcome.

Bad opsec.

Holy shit. I honestly can’t believe people are willing to actually openly support that shit.

Ah, I see you’re not used to the middle-class.

Keep up the pressure. LePatner needs to be the first of many.

Being honest, I don’t like using AI for much of anything. I have been encouraged to use it at work, but aside from rubber-ducking with it to plan out my own strategies, it’s useless.

At home, it’s a chatbot. I initially used it like I use random names or locations for writing and RPGs. Now, I stick to Donjon and a few others. The biggest thing I ever had it successfully do was help me construct puns I couldn’t quite figure.

He doesn’t see those as having any value. Treaty enforcement won’t hurt him personally, so there’s nothing stopping him.

Sort of. Corpses aren’t citizens anymore.
