   Just finished Tsitsi Dangarembga's "Nervous Conditions".

   It's an amazing book. Told from the perspective of a teenager from a poor family in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia, as it then was), it makes palpable what double oppression feels like - as a girl in a deeply patriarchal society, and as a Black person in a racist colonial state.

   It has broadened my mind. Thanks to @freval for the recommendation!

   @ariadne @astraleureka @deetwenty @soatok SMTP is a rare case where it's really not. Because of how the failure modes had to work (and this wasn't a consequence of STARTTLS, just the need to be able to deliver mail to possibly insecure sites), it prevented CA mafia from getting control and necessitated taking the path of DANE.

   And they actually got right stuff like the in-channel upgrade throwing away state.

   It's mildly clunky but also elegant how the pieces fit together to provide a seamless transition.

   They’ve already claimed ‘emergency powers’ to seize county land & will probably do much worse to get this done quickly before they can be stopped."

   And when the public pushed back, DHS claimed that the LAPD didn’t respond quickly enough. Well-known political operatives are spreading chaotic videos, screaming about insurrection. That’s the pretext that creates a police state.

   It’s part of a well-worn script, but not one used in the United States.

   For me, considering the quantum realm as a vibrating 2-space makes it make sense. Isolated quanta can't determine the 3rd dimension. It requires interaction to generate interference patterns which build into a "consensus." Without interference, isolated quanta just flirt randomly with all possible states. The deterministic nature of energy levels seems in keeping with a 2-space generating environment. Real variables are generated by interference between integer-based states of multiple quanta. In this scenario, we, and our universe, exist in the generated state.

   It's like we're inside of a giant Fourier transform generator.

   A generator of universes of this type would be a profoundly different computing system than any we currently envision, based on where we spend money. And it would necessarily be virtual. One would prefer one's universe not explode into existence in one's living room.

   Behave yourselves. I'd have instrumented the hell out of this thing. I'd want to show it off to my other geeky friends, proving it generates living worlds and such. Also, nobody will play your video game in the 35th century if you can't prove it generates living universes.

   Heck, I wouldn't be surprised to discover this is an older version of a universe generator which was discontinued because it kept generating Nazis.

   Why are people shocked that all the GQP reps from California left the state to go give Trump a blowjob instead of being leaders in their state.

   It's what the GQP do!!!

   Remember this during Texas Ice storm???
