The best idea I heard about continuing the Indiana Jones franchise is Short Round (played by Academy Award Winner Ke Huy Quan) stealing artifacts from Western museums to return them to their rightful people.

You seriously think it wouldn't be trivial to disable the LED?

And by the time you notice the LED you've already been filmed.

A prerequisite for enshittification is to have a non-shit product, so Epic are actually a safe bet against enshittification.

Is this whole thread a joke or have you people not heard of electrified rail

The free market is trying to supply renewables, they are cheaper, more flexible and simple to deploy, the free market loves that shit.

It's vested interests fighting it at every turn that's the issue.

There is a golden period from about 1985 to 2000 where houses were built without asbestos but with real building materials. I only buy property built in this window.

Every property I've inspected built after 2010 that's more than 5 years old is either splitting at the seams, sinking into the ground or both. They're built from polystyrene with a coat of plaster. They're built to palm off to naive new homeowners who don't understand or landbankers who don't give a fuck and I pity anyone trying to live in one for more than a few years.

Problem is for a long time the heaviest trekkies, the really visible ones, were usually not about the idealism at all.

For every quiet idealist who dreams of a better future there's a loud closet fascist who only sees the uniforms, a rigid militarized society with clear chains of authority, a Vulcan philosophy where cold logic overrides empathy, and where the advanced humans swashbuckle about the universe showing the natives their place.

It's getting better now but back in the day Trek fandom was rough and it's taking a lot to shake the image.

Nobody cared it was running on iCloud. People cared it was going to be running on their phones, scanning literally everything they had.

Physical products are the only ones that makes sense for DRM.
