The old heads remember what dubstep actually is, before Skrillex took the name and ruined everyone’s understanding of the newest genre from the UK garage/drum and bass scene. All my homies hate Skrillex.
And if this goes on long enough, we’ll have samizdat resistance ‘zines typewritten and passed around at dead drops to avoid ISPs having data any to give up to a warrant/less search, or metadata to trace the authorship
Vladimir Bukovsky summarized the samizdat process as follows:
“I write myself, edit myself, censor myself, publish myself, distribute myself, go to jail for it myself”
I’d rather not find out what else that future entails
You mean the same guy who said he hopes his (then) partner gets “raped by a pack of n****rs” isn’t voting for Kamala? I’m shocked I tell you.
He’s been unhinged for years, we should have cancelled him decades ago and let Mel succumb to his own alcoholism.
Again Israel attacks anyone and everyone standing next to anyone/anything they claim is Hamas.
- Civilians
- Hospitals
- Aid workers
- Reporters
- Mosques
- Hostages
Why are we still arming them? Repeatedly?
- Fired the Supercharger head and the entire department
- Fired the lead of new vehicle development
- Previously fired head of battery development
- Constantly “one year away” from Tesla full self driving, whilst Mercedes just launched geofenced FSD, with Mercedes assuming 100% liability during FSD
- Elon just had a out of the blue trip to China, appears to have ‘kissed the ring’ of Beijing, and hyping TaaS robotaxis
What’s Tesla’s USP to an investor now? The supercharger ‘lock in’ and early head start at the EV game are Tesla’s biggest boons, but the former appears to have been gutted and the latter has been squandered on a slow model release schedule
I used to live nearby! Loved that silly thing, just don’t treat it like one big roundabout - it’s six chained roundabouts that you can use individually; both green and red routes are valid and legal for the same destination:
Now that their “star witness” has been outed as a paid liar, and that the money is coming from Trumpland? Yeah I’d start getting reaaaly quiet and hope everyone forgets the whole event too.
An American company that paid the now indicted FBI informant Alexander Smirnov in 2020 is connected to a UK company owned by Trump business associates in Dubai.
Smirnov is now accused of lying to the FBI about Hunter Biden and his father, President Joe Biden, alleging that they engaged in a bribery scheme served as a major justification of the House impeachment investigation into the Bidens.
Tl; Dr:
- Savant-genius in our time works on/with and drives a large amount of the early “Web 2.0” era that champions decentralization, openness, and freedom of information
- This ethos is carried throughout his work in tech, leading him to mass copy databases that are paywalled or closed access to students, that he had permission to use, and dump the info online for free
- JSTOR and MIT get salty about this, set up a sting at the school servers where he’s doing said mass copying
- Prosecutor wayyyy overcharges Aaron and seeks to neuter him from using tech, Aaron gets scared and (due in part to a longstanding mental & physical illness) commits suicide
There’s more info and context, but that the broad strokes. Fuck MIT for pushing his prosecution, JSTOR was fine once he stopped uploading their database
I’ll say it again and again, before you call the cops for anything, you need to remember what you’re actually doing. You are willingly inviting an armed person, who will not lose a fight or back down, who is shielded from legal consequences, into your situation.
Grandpa isn’t answering his phone or the door and you’re worried? Call a locksmith, not the cops. Cops will just kick the door or call the locksmith anyway, now you have extra problems
Remember! The S in IoT stands for security 😎
I love these false economies that some corporate bean counter thinks saves the company money
Because you see, whenever I see this trash in a cubicle, I lovingly build my own 8-ply, using more paper and burning company time
Not gonna lie, his return to music and most recent two albums are pretty good if you like the Fred Again style of production.
Dubstep is a hard genre to get into, aside from very few album releases (there are A LOT of singles/splits) there’s some big sonic variation. Some of the faster, more frantic tracks sound closer to Jungle, while other artists like Burial bring a lot more of the UK Bass sound, and then you’ll get a very downtempo track, or a flute as the main instrument.
It’s kind of a “I know it when I hear it” vibe lol
