@letthewatersroar@toot.cafe you haven't got the "muslamic ray guns with shakira law" bit yet

Also nobody is a "British Subject" since 1981 but I wouldn't expect that news to have filtered over

ALSO

KNIVES ARE FINE AND LEGAL HERE, YOU JUST CAN'T CARRY A FUCKING MACHETE AROUND UNLESS YOU'VE GOT A REASON FOR CARRYING IT OTHER THAN "I WANNA CHOP THAT FUCKER'S ARMS OFF"

@letthewatersroar@toot.cafe oh god that's another one that annoys me, all the going on about knife regs

It's to stop people carrying around machetes, not pocket knives

@letthewatersroar@toot.cafe yep, also any other johnny foreigner that insists on not understanding that fact but it's primarily the yanks

IT'S NOT A LICENSE FOR A TV

@a_breakin_glass @noelle the method usually advised now is "apt" which is slightly nicer to use

although apt is just a wrapper around apt-get and apt-get isn't deprecated or anything so who gives a fuck

@maple @masklayer I believe it's one of those "alternative medicine" things

@tom oh, apparently it was at some point available on amazon.jp as well, but it's out of stock now

someone in china'll clone it soon enough I'm sure, in the meantime there's these things that might be useful? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Essential-Computer-Equipment-2m-HS-01-Finger-Hand-Held-4D-USB-Mini-Trackball-Mouse-PC-Computer/32788706716.html

@tom That's a Sanwa Supply 400-MA 018

Far as I can tell from an article I dug up and google translated it's only available from Sanwa Direct at the moment and they've sold out
