Possibly "eastern standard tribe" by cory doctorow? Not 100% match as i remmber it but close. Good book even if its not the one your after.

I used to work for the Alberta Heritage Digitization Project, in the mid 2000's. We were scanning all the newspapers on microfiche from the late 1800s to like 2000 i think. A quick search looks like Calgary public has access, if not we were based at the u of c. They probably have it hosted somewhere.

It doesn't help that i orderd it on the 2nd day of Chinese new year, so i wont see any action for at least a week.

Best thread ever

For me it was how ludicrously cheap it is. I boug a razor for 40$ cdn and ordered a box of blades for 30$, this was more than a decade ago. Im almost done the box.

I printed some Captain Slug hyprs for my kids (and myself ofcourse) Super easy prints and lots of fun. Ive been eyeballing some of his bigger blasters for a while now too.

I placed my order for some radios to play with 3 days ago. Im unreasonably excited for them to arrive.

Do you have a preferred fat to fry in? Im thinking ive might have found another use for those bacon drippings.

It's only infighting because we're all members of a living community. Other wise it's just fighting

Dr. Banner what could ever be wrong?

Sir, I am somewhat miffed. I suggest you retire to the bunker.

I'm feeling intemperate and all i was going to do was try starting my own lemmy instance, and buy some nice rum. Dude at work had his mortgage payment bounce.

I alrady have... stong feelings about banks generally, and this sure isn't helping.

If only the mods had control, you know of the tools used to make the system work. Call it worker controll of the means of production maybe.

This here is more commie in the tradtitional pre bolshevik sense "the free and equal association of producers."

I agree with most of this. Also my movie in my cue.

Eddit. God damned fat fingers

I'm loving it so far. People seem realy exited to build.

Even if most of my fellow reddit refugees fade out, i think we'll still have enough to maintain. I think like the Mastodon growth curve.

Im deeply out of the loop on mastodon. What happened there?

There always the defederation option. There was no exodus from mastodon when fashy-twitter (gab) started using a fork as their backend. Everyone just blocked them. At least thats my understanding.

I second krename. Works flawlesly for me.

Ive been using duckduckgo for years. Ive had good results. I still call is google-fu though.

The story of gab in a nutshell.

For me it's like moving to a small town. Instead of a whole scene into each if my weird interests it's just a few cool people. But thats just a function of population.
