"It’s such a weird thing to think about: the idea that we have destroyed Scott Adams’ reputation, simply by observing that he has said the things he said. That you should be able to hold onto your income stream after advocating a racially separatist state, as if being a racist fuckwit puts you in a protected class." @JuliusGoat armoxon.substack.com/p/the-cas

“Is there nothing anybody would say that would cause you to cease your association with them? If so, then what you are is not a proponent of free speech, but lazy amorality.“

I've been asked what Mastodon client I use on my Android phone. It's the web app's mobile view in Firefox.

When I have the choice, I ALWAYS prefer the mobile-web version even if an app has more functionality. Most apps spy on their users, and my mobile browser is pretty well locked down to prevent that.

That two distinct people thought this "gotcha apologetic" was clever is hard for me to accept. How can anybody be such a shallow thinker??

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?"

Yes. Life is about more than constant and meaningless toil for 40-50 years and a desolate twilight of failed ambitions. The social contract is broken and the system is a lie. You and I are both trapped in the same Sisyphean hell, where no amount working harder or longer will ever truly grant the rewards we were promised. The real question is, why are there no gaps in YOUR resume?

“…”

Errr, freelancing. I was freelancing.

Weeks after Ohio rail derailment, President Biden has no plans to visit latimes.com/politics/story/202 (Me: I have had it with crap headlines... The Mayor asked him not to visit... plenty of working agency heads have since... Mayor said a Presidential visit is not needed... they are getting the help they need!)

The Case For Shunning

Hhas anyone managed to make #SSH auth work with yubikeys, #FIDO2, and the *no-touch-required* option? (i.e., without having to touch the #yubikey upon connection). It's still eluding me…

PS yes, I've both created the key with "-O no-touch-required" and added "no-touch-required" to authorized_keys, still nothing…

Scott Adams’ routine: feel yourself getting inadequate attention, so troll hard, and then wrap yourself in a mantle of victimhood and cry censorship when people react — is so painfully obvious and predictable of a grift that it’s appalling that people fall for it.
