Rotate the board 90 degrees counterclockwise

I’ve never considered that since I’m in cybersecurity, so the oldest paper I’ve seen that is from the late 80s. The majority is from the mid 90s onwards though, and due to the fast moving nature of the field anything that is old enough to have a dead author is likely out of date.

Paywalled articles are still openly available if you politely email the researcher. While we should strive to have no barrier, if you can’t afford to publish openly those who need the research can still acquire it under the table. Having research unpublished because the researchers could not afford to pay the fee is worse than having the research published in a closed journal.

I’ve gotten a few dozen papers from closed journals that way, and I’ve never been told no.

Personally, I want to see the removal of capitalism, as it is a terrible system, alongside other oppressive systems like the State. Because that doesn’t happen overnight, and it isn’t something congress would ever vote on, I support strong social systems, high taxes on the wealthy and corporations, strong environmental protections, and especially legislation that strengthens communities. Strong worker protections and benefits wouldn’t be bad to see either.

It can also be used to manually harden fedora 39, which I think is great as well!

I’ve been pretty depressed by the current political atmosphere in the US, lately, and living in a more conservative area of my state makes it even more alienating. Today, I went to a left wing book fair at a city I’m considering moving to, and it was an amazing change of scenery.

The original says keep nazis out of punk. Skrewdriver is a neonazi band

From any other company who runs a social media company with a spam problem, I’d say this is an interesting solution. You can identify some bots and sock-puppet accounts by PCI. For Musk’s twitter, I’m not exactly trusting it, it feels like enshittification is in full swing.

I wonder how this will affect diversity of opinion on twitter, since I feel those already critical of twitter won’t be as likely to spend a dollar

And I’m a little skeptical that this will dissuade botting, since 1$ is nothing

Yeah, its an undercover cop

A corner store near my college occasionally had 4 cans for $2. I’d stock up for weeks at a time when that happened, and I got a sick finger workout carrying a ton of paper bags full of them home

They don’t taste great, but for less than a dollar a can? 100% worth it
