There's no reason for digital books or **any** other digital media to have the limitations of physical media arbitrarily imposed on them. Digital "lending" is a solved problem: https://u.fsf.org/3eg #DayAgainstDRM #Libraries #ebooks
Is anybody as geek-old as me to remember how we kept BBSes free so we could call them more often by writing BEL flood messages (full of ASCII code 7s) so that when users opened them their computer would start beeping madly and they had no choice but to hang up?
What about hiding files from one’s parents by creating folders with ASCII 255 white space characters as names?

There was a partial eclipse in my area. I don't have a filter to photograph it properly, but I caught it in a lense flare. :D A nice accident.

Dammit #Blizzard why did you take away the ability to see a match’s scores after it ends (TAB key) in Overwatch? STOP HIDING EVERYTHING. You take away SR, you take away trophies, you take away the match’s standings…
I can’t carry any more
Sarah: but-
YOU can’t carry any more
Sarah: …

Sarah: Why do you even have this stuff?

You ever watch the system.log file on an #Apple #Mac? It’s hilarious. Shoutout to the developer(s) who added all the sass:
ThrottleInterval set to zero. You're not that important. Ignoring.
The TimeOut key is no longer respected. It never did anything anyway.
This service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient.
This key does not do anything: OnDemand
Service has increased maximum shutdown time to 65 seconds. This will create a poor experience for the user.

Oh shit. Sarah got into the sauce again. I asked Barrett to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t get sick or trip and hurt herself on a bulkhead.
I’d like to introduce you to my space pet, Rocky. We go everywhere together. Best member of my crew.
Picked him up from an asteroid shelter and we became instant pals. He’s my touchstone. Really keeps me grounded. I ❤️ Rocky.

It is not a "political belief" to think people of all races are equal and valuable human beings.
It is not a "political belief" to think people know what their own gender is after living in their body regardless what a doctor decided at birth
