Japan is the other big supplier of high-quality machine tools and industrial equipment. China is kinda following their playbook.

Mint is good. It has good defaults for normies.

He actually did offer some strong criticism, and suggested a 25th amendment removal. But it is particularly funny seeing Alex Jones getting thrown under the bus after burning so much goodwill with his audience this last year to cheerlead the Trump admin. I've always gotten the impression that Alex Jones personally likes Trump, and even considered him a friend. Very different than Tucker or Klandace, who were already opportunistically pivoting away from Trump.

This is so much worse than I expected. They seemed to be actively pivoting to a Palantir-esque "yeah, we're the bad guys" strategy, but are chickening out a bit on broadcasting it.

Almost certainly a new distro. The French government loves homegrown stuff.

I really, genuinely want to push back on this, and I don't think it's semantic nonsense. It's about how we approach play and games: from the perspective as just a "consumer", or an engaged person who creates an experience.

In the context of game playing, cheating is something you do to other people without their consent. By breaking the trust in the shared ruleset, you fundamentally break the activity. But when you're playing alone, you are creating a self-directed experience. And in particular, I think one of the things that is most important about self-directed play is establishing your own parameters of the experience. One super cool thing about games with extensive communities is how many tools and modifications are developed to make the experience what you want it to be.

Not sure if this post is meant to be serious or not, but there's no such thing as cheating in a single player game.

I want to host some LAN parties this winter, and am looking for some Free Software Games that would be a fun time. We already play some Counterstrike and StarCraft 2, but I want to expand into some actual Free games. Windows compatibility is a must, MacOS compatibility is desirable!

The two on my radar are:

  • Hedgewars, which seems like a strong candidate. We played a ton of Worms 2 in the 90s
  • 0 A.D., since we're already fans of RTS games.

But I know there must be some wacky ones out there which would be suitable for 30 minutes of pick up play.

The 2040 plan is mainly an ending of single-family zoning. Anecdotally, I've seen a lot more apartments going up around the Twin Cities in the last few years. The Frey regime are neoliberal ghouls, and this is a classic YIMBY approach to tackling housing shortages. The opponents of this plan are somehow even worse, an astroturfed army of KKKarens.

Choice quote: "Residents of color already face significant barriers to home ownership, which would have been exacerbated under the plan as a result of reduced access to and availability of single family properties," said activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, a member of the plaintiffs' legal team, in a statement calling Tuesday's ruling a "major victory."

What are the Hexbear thoughts on this whole situation?

There's a golf course right next to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, where everyone is taking their Instagram photos next to the hottest temperatures ever recorded.
