Canary? The tunnels are collapsing

It probably just gets tagged as "spicy meme someone tried to censor", and still gets tracked and targeted the same way as the rest of the content. They know fully well what kind of post it is, a line is not going to break the algorithm

I do have a ton more questions, but I'm not sure if I want to ask them.

"the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 reports its name as Microsoft⟪AE⟫ Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000, encoding the registered trademark symbol ® not as UTF-8 as required by the specification but in code page 1252" is a sentence that seems to have come straight from unix_surrealism

I refuse to live in fear. Also, I would have better opsec if I was in the US.

I know all labor is skilled labor. That doesn't contradict what I've described

Of course that was hyperbole. I am not saying that growing food is effortless or easy. I'm just saying that food is natural (duh), while coerced farmers aren't natural, but rather a product of capitalism allowing you to buy any kind of food known to man, fresh, in a huge supermarket, and throw it away if it is not sold. Or any another authoritarian system for that matter, it would just happen in different ways. As my other comments show, I'm talking about different scales. Cities provided an advantage not long ago in many ways - infrastructure, culture, economy, opportunities etc -, but as modern technology shortened distances, I feel less and less people can find a compelling reason to live surrounded by miles and miles of cement and smog. High-density and high-volume communities/housing are two different things.

No. Just don't play into their hand. The "post-truth world" is not inevitable, some "people" are just pushing really hard for it to be that way. Keep bringing up things that were said and things that were done, with receipts. Think and teach about the differences between facts, beliefs, thoughts, and opinions. Do keep making compilations of all the evil and insane shit they've done, with rigor and composure. They will be unable to come up with anything more than boogeystrawman rhetoric - not facts - and hate

No offense taken! I just believe that a subtle difference does not mean unimportant and wanted to be precise. I didn't take you as someone who doesn't understand analog and digital, especially considering your instance :) I edited my previous comment for some additional clarity. I just think they're neat ^^

With "binary" I mean "has two states", as in discrete, as in digital. You can represent binary bits using analog circuits, but it doesn't make those circuits binary/digital. Likewise, you can represent continuous, analog functions using discrete logic, but it will always be an approximation. What makes these chips different is that they are able to not only represent but actually model continuous functions and values, like physical models.
