IDK I thought it was a little weird to make the Resident Evil series into comedies but it works

I have an inner voice but it's literally just me. It grows and changes with me, and I'm an entirely different person than who I was at 18-24 (late 30s now). If you have a voice in your head that says things that don't reflect who you are you should probably talk to somebody about that.

6 likes on that and at least one of them is an obvious alt account. Whatever, makes it easier to block them all in one go.

I do anticipate more people putting out signs in the coming weeks as early voting starts so we'll see if it changes.

Interestingly, I live in rural East Texas and the *only* signs I've seen around here are Talarico. Don't get me wrong I'm sure there are still Cruz signs somewhere but they're certainly not in any of the places I previously saw Trump or Cruz signs on my regular routes.

Texas, the voter registration deadline is coming up next week. If you live in Texas and want to vote, be sure to check that you are registered properly — even if you you think you did what you had to. A statewide database to check: goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/...

Google Maps has just updated its satellite view of the Gaza Strip, revealing the massive scale of destruction. It looks much like the aftermath of the scorched-earth policy the Nazis carried out after the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943.

Lol your guess is as good as mine, but that punisher sticker makes me lean heavily toward being gen x. Not every gen x is like that, but this is definitely "divorced gen x dad" stickers.

It needs to be more than a deduction. All a deduction does is exempt you from paying the tax on that expense. It needs to be a tax credit at the bare minimum. Ideally it wouldn't cost shit so we wouldn't need either thing.

It's literally the only reason that health insurance in general works in the first place. There are so many better ways to do it but if this is what this country has to put up with then at the very least don't sabotage the only, incredibly shitty, but only way we have to actually get healthcare.

Anyone who's ever interacted with a texas state trooper knows they're some of the most power tripping assholes you'll ever meet. This comes as exactly zero surprise. Texas's various departments are structured to allow for maximum totalitarian control, it's just rarely been flexed until now.

We’ve now reached the point of “black site” hearings – secret, illegal hearings as part of Trump & Stephen Miller’s wretched crusade to detain & deport our immigrant neighbors. Quite literally: hidden tribunals that disappear people.

And my point was that you can virtualize an entire network. This is all stuff that's been done before, time and time again, by security researchers. There is exactly a playbook that works here, they're just ignoring it.

Silnocus @silnocus.cryptoanarchy.network · 26/09/2026
And I really mean everything. Firewalls, routers, switches, long haul fiber equipment, networked appliances, smart devices, you name it, all easily virtualized or simulated. Virtualized devices act nearly identically to the real thing. They have the equipment. They're just lazy and irresponsible.

Silnocus @silnocus.cryptoanarchy.network · 26/09/2026
They absolutely can learn from that environment. These companies already scraped nearly the entire available internet to train their models. They could easily reconstruct significant portions of the public internet with their datacenters. Everything can be virtualized.

Security and convenience are often mutually exclusive. So tough shit to the AI companies who want both, any competent infosec engineer will tell them as much. That's probably why they don't have any. If they know what info they want it to look for, they can host their own sandbox for it to play in.

Silnocus @silnocus.cryptoanarchy.network · 26/09/2026
It's 100% effective and quite literal. You just don't connect your development environment to the internet. Done, easy. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here, because I genuinely think they did it all on purpose as a PR stunt, but best case scenario it's negligent.

Silnocus @silnocus.cryptoanarchy.network · 26/09/2026
It's not as much that they weren't particularly careful, from an infosec standpoint it appears they made zero effort whatsoever to prevent this. There's a super simple technique that anyone who wants to secure an environment can take to make sure nothing can ever enter or exit: airgapping.

Some yakuza-lookin dudes came and sat at my table once in Thailand while I was having a beer alone waiting for my friends and just sat down, opened a beer and slid it over to me. So we sat there smoking and sipping beer for a while til I left. They'd totally have played Rayman.

I'm already assuming a hypothetical future where enough people don't eat meat/animal products that the economy calls for more people working in fields picking bugs off tomatoes, I'd hope by that point we'd be paying well and solving back problems with technology (like raised planting beds, fancy)

I'm not even vegan (though that's more due to geographical circumstance and income) but from my little backyard garden alone there's a lot of non-lethal ways to deal with pests. Some of them are more labor intensive than spraying but fuck it's not like we don't need jobs anyway.

Another thing to keep in mind besides simple harm reduction is there's *so* much room for agricultural improvements if they had dedicated research and funding for implementation. We may not be able to stop using pesticides now, but who's to say we can't find a safe insect repellent that works great?

Most countries have state media. It only becomes a problem when it's the *only* media. And of course, no one should fully trust it even in "good" countries.

Silnocus @silnocus.cryptoanarchy.network · 22/09/2026
Amazing news. Fucking shameful that it took a federal court to make it happen instead of being resolved humanely within Texas's courts. The timeline for implementation is still cruel. End of 2029 is way too long, making prisoners suffer and die for 3 more years after winning in court is unacceptable

I mean it is state media though. Always was. It might be shitty, ineffective state media, but it's still media under the sole direction of the government.

It'd be the same safety situation if cars had to go much slower because they cut massive shockwaves into the air around roads. This is incredibly stupid, and at the very minimum I expect it to never become reality because the Navy would be *pissed*

Just like so many new technologies touted to revolutionize business, it wasn't ready, and everyone who early adopted is gonna get burned by a shitty implementation. How many times do we have to do this at a national/global scale before business "leaders" finally learn some goddamn patience?

Silnocus @silnocus.cryptoanarchy.network · 14/09/2026
Is it? It's very easy to look at a statement like that and think "well clearly this doesn't apply to me because I'm not like that." So it really raises the question of why, exactly, you feel like this is aimed at you?

Steam has been popping that one up in my library for a while now. Maybe I should load it up on my steam deck, I bet it's a great "play for 10 minutes in between meetings" game. I played it for a few hours several years ago and just lost interest, but I was also playing it as my off-work primary.
