Problems with ProjectEUNOMIA

1) sinister as fuck name, irrelevant to discussions but it wouldn't have hurt them to call it Project Fluffy Bunnies or something

2) anything they build will just move the problem from people blindly believing anything they read to people blindly believing anything they read that has a green checkmark or whatever next to it which doesn't solve the original problem

3) obvious abuse potential of anything they build

openpgp card implementation built into a ring

maybe with an engraving as well if you want to get out some sealing wax and have a key signing party like it's 1799

I once came across a bottle of satan's own egg and brandy liqueur

for context, this Project EUNOMIA thing

which is an incredibly sinister name if you think about it regardless of any links to anything

Did Eugen not notice the amount of stick we gave gibson for merely talking to the cops or did he think collaborating on a research project carried out on behalf of a government by a firm that's previously done projects with the UK MoD is a completely different thing?

just imagine, all the communist furries in one big uwunion

and a headphone jack!

I've just come across this thing, the GPD Micro

It's a tiny laptop (6 inch)

More to the point it's a tiny laptop with gigabit ethernet AND RS-232 ports!

Blade Runner is set just seven months from now

One of our hedgehogs has apparently heard of the trashtag challenge and has decided to help out

I want a Star Trek TV show that just follows a group of vulcans on a primarily human R&D station along the lines of that tumblr thread on humans as deranged hyper-neophiles

Okay, I usually don't post april fools things that people have done but these are actually a bit funny

YES IT DOES DICKWEED, DOCUMENT YOUR SHIT

Apropos of nothing, DOCUMENT YOUR SHIT DAMNIT

next time I go to see what some bit of hardware/software is doing and there's no documentation I shall be most miffed

Special sugar just for witches
