So they still have the barricades up? Were they manned overnight? Thanks for the reporting. It's been hard to find up to date info from the protest sites.

Looks like all the street barricades in Minneapolis IVO 26th street had to come down.

Two posts from the official Minneapolis Threads account. Original post from 24 hours ago: "We commend those demonstrating peacefully right now. To ensure the safety of residents, the City is putting in place a vehicle perimeter in the area surrounding the scene of today's fatal shooting by federal agents. The zone includes Franklin Ave to 28th St, 35W to Pillsbury Ave"

Quote reply from 8 hours ago: The vehicle perimeter surrounding 26th St. W and Nicollet Ave has been lifted – roads are back open to traffic and National Guard assignments have ended.
Streets need to be clear for emergency vehicles to get through if needed.
Activity overnight was calm and peaceful.

Account was mplsgov on Threads

Wow, having a general strike where your HQ is must be bad for business.

Right on, I'll give that a go later. I wish I had a job writing so I could get more use out of my older machines. Some of those things are a joy to type on.

LIVE: Area Near Shooting Involving Federal Agent in Minneapolis

Protesters have erected barricades in Minneapolis. The protests haven't stopped since ICE killed Alex Pretti. Here's a livestream that's been up for about 12 hours. It's worth scrubbing through to see what's happened. It's not clear when, or if, they'll go home. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYPG...

remember, as bad as things are: it's your duty to survive if you can. be fucked up if you gave up while others gave their lives to protect you. if you can't do it for yourself, then realize you owe everyone martyred now and into the future to carry on. because not everyone is going to make it.

Do you have the driver disk for it? I have one as well, but I don't have any WinXP NIC drivers or other tools. Can't seem to find them in english on the internet archive, either.

davmandave @davmandave.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

What's the difference between today and 40 days ago? Not a damn thing. I legitimately feel like Democrats just fumbled at the 10 yard line. Man, I had hope. Like real hope, that they reached in their pants and found accountability. I slept better this week. It really is a big club, isn't it?

I don't have a chromecast hooked up to mine, but I do have it branched into my computer for input and output. I use a passive stereo mixer, but I feed the tape deck into the output and use the inputs for a speaker, another deck, and my computer input.

davmandave @davmandave.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

I fuckin love tapes. Sure, they wear out, but no one can copyright claim my recordings. Just recently bought a 70's deck to write to commercial tapes that I get from the book tower (a lot of language and children's tapes). My main deck is a Marantz from about the same time as your deck.

I would like to point out that the Fifth Amendment reads "No Person", not "No citizen". Feels a bit... unconstitutional to claim that due process is only for US Citizens, or legal immigrants.

The AWS outage shows, once again, why monopolization of anything is a bad idea. If we never allowed AWS to grow to that size and buy all of its competition. Since 2014, Amazon has acquired 18 companies that they rolled into AWS. 18 points of failure versus one. Consumers lose when companies merge.

Bro, this thin blue line shirt? They'll have my back, you know, cuz I have theirs. Better bring my helmet in case they riot on me. Ope, almost forgot my FLIP FLOPS.

davmandave @davmandave.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

He probably told his fuckin friends he was gonna do it. "Bro, it's gonna be so sick, I'm gonna OWN those libs. They'll be so TRIGGERED, bro. Trust me" He built this moment up so much in his head, and got laughed at. It's gotta be worse than when his cousin turned him down for prom.

davmandave @davmandave.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

It's 5 AM, I'm stoned, and I've been watching this for like 10 minutes. It's cinema. The silly elliptical bike, the fact that his flag is draped all sad, the knock-off black bloc outfit with the FUCKIN FLIP FLOPS? And no one's looking at him. Benny Hill on a pink megaphone upstaged his big moment.

I did seven years of military service service. I'd rather be circumsized with a rusty saw than work for you morons. Stop hurting the people I worked to protect. I gave my 20s to the service, and now I watch you brutalize them on TV. And take off the damn masks, you look like 16 y/o airsoft LARPers

Right, but the things that didn't work in Wine didn't work in WinBoat either lmao

davmandave @davmandave.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

WinBoat is cool, but a hell of a hassle to set up. Additionally, webview2 apps, the worst part of using Linux, still don't seem to work. I don't understand the use case of WinBoat over Wine/Proton. Would be sick if someone could reverse engineer webview2 for Linux

how much were those? could be fun to make some displays for my computer or something.

davmandave @davmandave.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

What's so great about Webview2 anyway? Almost every incompatibility I've run into on linux stems from Webview crap. Is there no easier way to make graphics and shit for windows apps?

Holy shit. A congressional candidate leading by example. I was taught to lead from the front. It's how you motivate those around you to accomplish the mission.

anyone know any good IRC servers? wouldn't mind getting on and bullshitting with randos again. Think I used to hangout on freenet back in the day, but it's fuzzy.

I can't find any video sources for this, only posts on social media. The original thread on Threads is a picture, not a video. I also found the original thread where the claim was made. The evidence does not confirm or deny that this was ever said live. All we have is the word of a twitter user.

The AI image of an AI datacenter is next level irony. Here's what we'll be doing here, making nonsense images for everyone to look at and feel... nothing.

What do you think all the servers we're using for AI will end up doing when the bubble bursts? Cheap gaming servers? High-fidelity 3d rendering farms? I mean, there's so much you can do with a kajillion graphics cards backed by the fastest internet ever used.

Legacy media having to learn what a groyper is was not on my 2025 bingo card. I love that they're always so caught off guard by how... online people are. The only thing funnier would be legacy media "discovering" how gross Asmongold is. Welcome to the internet, legacy media. You're gonna hate it.

davmandave @davmandave.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

I ain't gonna lie, I'm super tired of seeing AI shit everywhere. No one did it. It's just AI garbage being passed around from Twitter to Facebook to Instagram to Twitter to Bluesky. Fuck man, the internet really is dead. Aren't you the news, anyhow? What's happening in Tennessee this week?
