Poling said the state fair board considered stripping him of his awards, but decided to let him keep his ribbons.

It was only removed after being on display for a week

When asked why Poling’s miniature was removed, a state fair spokesperson said “entries submitted to the fair routinely reviewed throughout the event.”

daft enough to use a free one

C’mon, it’s 4chan we’re talking about here. The gambit runs from “yes, that daft” to “good luck, I’m behind 7 proxies”.

they will be blocked in the UK

This is the only real solution, and it’s a inconvenient one at best to surfers thanks to solutions like VPN.

Can’t stop the signal

Apple also sells a physical product in the UK. Microsoft and Apple both sell a virtual service/product in the UK. 4chan only gets revenue from you looking at posters and clicking those posters on their website.

UK can get fucking bent. Come and take it.

Does the UK think they have jurisdiction over my server just because some twat from the UK visits my site? If so, there’s a reason why we fought a war nearly 250 years ago that said that a stupid fucking idea. Colonialism is a dead ideology

Yeah, I don’t think you really understand how the internet works. Their presence is in the country where their servers are. People from the UK essentially go to another country to visit 4chan. If the UK doesn’t like that the onus should be on them to block that access, but that is also a stupid idea thanks to VPNs.

Big big wheel

This sounds like the income tax in the USA. They won’t tell you how much you owe in tax, but if you’re wrong then they’ll bring the hammer down.

Is meta the official term for that key? I always called it the super key. Just curious

Before Trump, the “traditional” social media was likely pushing the Democrats’ agenda (like the Twitter files under the guise of more moderation. Now the tactic is being used by the Trump administration just more in the open and in more traditional media (Jimmy Kimmel). Big media is such an easy target for govt influence when it’s all ad supported.

I’d bet they see the writing on the wall that the government has too much influence in social media. So this time they don’t want to be caught with their pants down when Democrats come back into power. The other thing I feel is on the horizon is the end of the ad supported internet. I’ve said it before, be prepared to do it yourself or pay for it. I guarantee the guys behind this instance is in the do it yourself camp.

Disclaimer: I am libertarian and view both DNC and GOP as different sides of the same authoritarian coin. Right wing flavored, left wing flavored, both are disgusting when it’s authoritarianism.

There was a time when you could have a platform that ran with components from all 3. Intel CPU, AMD GPU, and nvidia’s nForce chipset on the mobo.

I mean we were never going to see the result of a complete terraform of Mars to begin with even if it went perfect with theoretical technology. I doubt our great great grandchildren would have seen it either. I was speculating on the long term. Flying colonies on Venus might be the best bet for long term 2nd human planet.

This probably kills any chance of terraforming Mars

Where does sadistic curiosity about Slackware fit on this graph after daily driving OpenSuSE Tumbleweed?

I’d say more effort went into the software which sets us up for where we are now where a great deal of PC games is already compatible making this a must buy for playing the massive libraries that everyone has been amassing since 2003. If it can boot Plasma Bigscreen or if Steam Big Picture gets more entertainment apps like Netflix, it will be a home entertainment juggernaut.

There wasn’t even a slap on the wrist in that ruling.

So is it YouTube family or YouTube household?

Either way, probably need to setup site to site VPN and route YouTube traffic through a central location, if you can block geolocation.

Yeah, long term goal is a self reliant total internet experience. I figure at best, I’ll still have to rely on a handful of more trustworthy companies to do some things like search.

Already am, but it still pulls results from the companies I want to separate myself from. I’d rather see what it takes/how well it performs to have my own indexer.
