Am I going clockwise or anticlockwise round the track?

It’s getting so convoluted at this point just knowing clockwise/anticlockwise is infinitely easier.

It doesn’t even bloody work, lefty tighty righty loosy is every bit as valid if the spanner is at the bottom.

Locost 7 is a generic name for replica Lotus/Caterham 7 type cars that are built by people in garages, there’s no centralised body beyond “The Book” the original design came from. As far as I’m aware the book’s author has defended the design in court as being too generic to be protectable (which presumably precludes their design being used as a basis to prosecute anyone building something similar).

Most of the cars are built custom to the donor vehicle, taking the original design as a basis, there’s 100s of variations online with drawings - none of them are going to be protectable and no-one’s really tried in the 30 odd years since the book came out. No-one’s published anything with a libre license, I’m not sure if there’d be any point.

Where are the EFF fighting this?

There are definitely open source-ish options. Google locost 7

As much as I’d advocate for a professional rectal woodwind orchestra, I can’t help but feel we wouldn’t have invented the instruments in the first place.

It is what the masses engage with, not necessarily what they want. FB have literally done studies into the negative impact this has on people and it’s well within the power of these companies to normalise this kind of post. They choose not to because it drives engagement. If they were unaware - that’s a different thing, but it’s not the case.

On the algo front, outrage drives engagement by multiples compared to any other emotion, Facebook literally did the research. So comments and posts that cause outrage get more likes, more retweets, more comments, they’ve literally gamified outrage generation.The big social media companies have way way too much power.

What does techno music have to do with cutting metal with wire?

I like Cadburys and I like Tony’s but like a £1.50 Cadbury bar is about the same footprint as a Tony’s bar and about half as thick.

I thought it would be fewer

I bloody hope so, I added it to the list of games I’ve purchased on steam but never played last week

You absolute Sith lord

A heated cold sandwich just isn’t on mate.

I’m down with it in principle, but that’s an awfully big chunk of raw onion.

And since when did rolls have crusty crusts

Just download a book on tech savvyness.

The question is, did it pass the first one or the last one

Ah, my misunderstanding - kernel level anti-cheat is also a bit bizarre tbh, like people really really don’t understand the level of control they’re handing over to random games companies.
