Is it possible to help or encourage our local municipal services to have either an RSS or BlueSky feed? At this point, it's becoming apparent that putting all the information eggs in the twitter basket is/was a bad idea. This is a place where open source standards should shine.

I'm trying to understand the difference between this project and FreedomBox. I mean it's great to have options, but have any of them looked over that way? Heck, FreedomBox is even built into Debian now.

Sound very much like a Resource Based Economy. Back when discussion of the future and futurology was small and hopeful, that was one the well sought after goals. Now cynicism has destroyed that, and we're left to deal with the ashes.

Ignoring Gates, what do you suggest as solutions to the problem at hand?

Is there a way to download them all in one go?

Prove to me that you are conscious, without referring to the fact that you are a human and have common ground and experiences with other humans.

Is there a server for the PS2?

Why not python? It's pretty simple for kids to understand.

If the file is that important, it shouldn't be stored in the VM, but on some sort of more robust storage system.

Remarkable. If this material works and is flexible enough, we could someday see tape drives with hundreds of exabytes of capacity.

> In general, the idea of producing a body that lacks the brain but has everything else intact is very rational. Its doubtless creepiness may wane with time.

I'm old enough that I remember when artificial hearts and heart transplants were considered creepy. Now they're considered heroic and vital life-saving treatments.

Thanks for the blast from the past. SED led me to AWK, which led me to Perl, which lead me to Python. An interesting chain that brought me back to the interpreted languages like BASIC that I programmed in when I was a kid. Even though my formal training in college was Pascal and C.

Maybe. But it can also help people find their voice. And I'd rather have comments from someone knowledgeable but unrefined with some good guidance than their silence on that same topic.
