Breaking news: Reddit is on fire again. In other news, rain contains water and Twitter is full of Nazis. More at ten.

it’s not about immorality, it’s to limit the access to outside information in a country where most internet access is done through smartphones.

Pretty much because my smartphone is basically my digital Swiss army knife. Like even if I got a separate digital camera and MP3 Player, I also use it for navigation and to communicate with my parents and friends over signal, and like hell I am gonna give up signal. Add to that it’s also my portable wifi hotspot when I’m out, my train tickets, and how I pay for things when I’m sans-purse, I don’t know if I can give up my smartphone.

Would it be good for me to get off social media and to stop doomscrolling the news? Yes, but I can do that by going out and touching grass.

Yeah, and again: the thing with mass shooters is that they don’t give a fuck what the law says.

They’re not going to go through the phone checkpoint, they’re just gonna open fire. This would not stop a mass shooting.

Yeah but the thing with mass shooters is that they don’t give a fuck what the law says.

Yes. Yes please. If this fucker goes to prison that’s one less thing off my mind. I do not want the return of Feudalism.

The company making money from technology that allows people to work from home is telling people to return to the office.

yes. opinions on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway?

These people have nukes.

Oh look, it’s the main villain in a Cyberpunk novel.

You like trains and have crippling amounts of anxiety too?

Got this poster off the internet, changed the text by cutting it out and putting a background behind the hole that was the same colour, added text, got the logo off wikipedia. All in GIMP.

Looks like we share a braincell.

It’s either:

1. Someone bollox’d up and pressed the “block” button.
2. They wanted to show it off to people as a “fuck you, obey us”.
3. They were just testing it.

Either one is worrying.

I’m one with the FOSS and the FOSS is with me

Amongst socialists back then there was a big prohibition movement. The Scottish Prohibition party, who had one MP until the 30s was a firmly socialist party and there was a form relationship between the Temperance movement in The UK and Socialist ideals. Basically the reason was because they saw alcohol as a tool against the working class wherein the ruling class kept them addicted and drunk to prevent them from self improvement while making money off them.

Even today, a lot of Anarchists are straight edge for similar reasons, plus the idea that drinking and drugs means they close control of their faculties and this, autonomy.

nah lmao

That exists. It’s called Signal.

Yeah but it’s a little bit like finding out that the Taliban banned Opium production: the reason they’re doing it is because they want the price to shoot up and they wanna move the country onto making Meth.
