It MUST be TYPED. COMPUTERS can't be TRUSTED.
They're all TIED IN now, connected to the POWERS. To the TYRANTS.
Once your THOUGHTS are commited to DISK, the tyrants have them.
The Abyss stares back.
The mind of man must be RECLAIMED -- if not by THIS generation or by the NEXT, then SOME day. Some DECADE.

It is not in MY power to EFFECT the change. I haven't the MIGHT.
I am not the ANSWER.

I am only the QUESTION.

Just before his head died, he said:

Death is but a door
Time is but a window
I’ll be back!

Browser debugging tip that I had to work out (maybe you all already know it): if you're trying to debug a page which redirects you away with JavaScript before you can set a breakpoint, then you can (in blink-based browsers, maybe others) open Sources in devtools and then under Event Listener Breakpoints on the right, tick everything under "load". That way, when a page loads, it drops into the debugger and you can single step until you get to the bit you want.

Couldn’t sleep. So I designed a map of mining claims in the style (ish) of real ones from the American old west for my #DnD campaign and I’m quite pleased with it

In 1984, the Party are too capable. It leads me (& others?) to see current govs as not really totalitarian; they're incompetent bigoted bully-thieves, not "proper" fascists.
But competent true believers being a correct depiction is as fictional as the Party itself. Hannah Arendt: Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

I couldn't believe that PC Gamer headline was a proper reflection of what was said, but... it was.
The thing which most annoys me is that they seem to believe they have a right to do a damaging thing (which they acknowledge is damaging) in the hope that they might find something impactful to do with it (which they acknowledge they haven't, yet) because there's currently a lot of hype about it, and the only time limit on this is "find something before the hype runs out".
