Looks like it's available in desktop mode too, so will work anywhere on Linux at the least.

This is satire I presume from the jokiness of the whole thing, but being able to obtain a token in person by just showing an ID (without any storage of data) would be a less intrusive method then the "have your ID and/or face collected and stored for an undisclosed period of time" approach. The latter of which has very obvious privacy and security risks.

I discovered the book after the residents of Springfield went mad trying to win the local lottery, only to discover a chilling tale of conformity gone mad.

They might mean exclusives, of which none of those apply. But I personally don't think exclusives are a good thing anyway.

You're not incorrect, but time has shown that some proportion of society will always act this way. And as much as it feels rational to shit on these people, a large number of people being victimised for their laziness and stupidity has flow on effects to broader society.

SearXNG also supports this with the same syntax, and can call fallback to using DDG bangs with two '!' And you can make your own custom bangs if you're self-hosting, if you're technically inclined.

I believe the risks of silicosis from silica were known since ancient times too, although they probably didn't have any solutions or alternatives for it historically. More recently, there was the Hawk's Nest tunnel disaster in the US during the 1930s, where around a 100 mostly black workers died as a result of silicosis developed from cutting and blowing up quartz without any sort of protective measures.

Then in the modern era, there was a ban implemented in Australia of construction using high silica "engineered" stone. You'd think given the known health risks of silica that this could have been predicted, although it's not as clear cut (heh) as the risks of asbestos, since at least part of the problem was construction workers not using preventative measures such as wet drilling and PPE. But you could see how that goes over when the workers are often vulnerable in some way, and do not feel comfortable saying no to their bosses.

I suggest using Beetle mednafen, unless you're on a very slow system. Or Swanstation, it's not like that's going away.

I also don't see Swanstation going away any time soon, even if it gets no new features. It's pretty close to feature complete in the ways that matter anyway.

I just overuse parantheses instead, as you noted. You know you're rambling when you have several layers of them, like I'm writing a conversation in Lisp.

  • Don't use social media or news sites when you wake up, or before bed

  • Block notifications from social media and news sites, or uninstall altogether

  • Set time limits (like with leechblock-ng on desktop, or with simple alarms)

  • You probably don't need to read the news every day to be reasonably informed

Most of this is auto-generated header files to be clear. Still, goes to show how many GPU variants they have support for in the kernel, going back 15+ years.
