The punk and moth aren’t stereotypes; they are biologically compelled.

ohh shit, now that this reminded me to look, someone’s done something about it

Now I just need to figure out how to wedge that into nixos

Asus Zenbook DUO

I’ll be honest, A lot more of it works than I expected. Linux runs and is quite stable.

Keyboard Backlighting? Had to write some Python. Windows driver manages this, proprietary. I still can’t get backlight to work in bluetooth mode.

Trackpad Palm Rejection? Had to write a service. Windows driver manages this, proprietary.

Function keys on the keyboard in wired mode? Not supported, no work-around that I can find. I have to remove the keyboard and put it into bluetooth mode. Windows driver.

What no TempleOS? YOU’LL BURN IN FLAMES!!!

I was looking at visiting Costa Rica for a bit, read that even restaurants were using WA for orders. I couldn’t imagine relaying on Facebook’s company policy for my business

There is tuning involved.

If what i’m working on is repetative and aggrivating, i’ll have anything on, up to and including an audio book.

If what i’m working on requires modest brain power, stuff that’s calm and ambient.

If what i’m working on is demanding, dead silence.

That, and then you realize that you primarily lose weight through your breathing.

Hurry up and ask Midjourney to create a video of it before the bubble pops!

Nothing is stopping you from blocking VetOfTheSeas

If you dislike the Posts/Comments of a community or account, you should just block it and save yourself the stress.

Lavabit closed up shop instead.

Surely proton would do the same… /s

You can’t trust a corporation to keep your data secure. They can hide it from your ISP at best.

Crypt your stuff with your own keys and store it in places where you own the client. Convenient security is rarely secure

Not email, storage, nextcloud. If they requested my emails for anything, they’d be horrified how boring they’d be. it’s literally just spam

I’ve pondered this a bit. If we lock down akin to china, we’ll have to start using plausible deniability. Our encoding will need to be in safe and clear looking datasets, which localLLM probably could push out

What makes you think a court can’t order them to modify the site/client to capture your key and send it home?

Ed Mansell consigned a massive LEGO Star Wars collection to the Salem Bricks & Minifigs store in 2023; payments later stopped and inventory allegedly vanished.

The franchise collapsed in 2024, new owners took over, and both sides disputed whether the LEGO sets were still in the store.

Bryan Mansell sought help, leading YouTuber Reckless Ben to investigate, confront BAM Corporate, and release viral videos in 2026.

Chaos followed: arrests, leaked police footage, conspiracy theories, and over $500k raised for Bryan.

The Gormans sued BAM Corporate; BAM Corporate filed a TRO, gag order, and a federal RICO lawsuit against Reckless Ben and others. That legal action against Ben was an egregious overreach. Couldn’t post anything, talk about anything to go huge distances from any BAM store in existence. RICO lawsuit is like what you charge mobsters with.

The case moved to federal court in June 2026, with multiple civil and criminal proceedings still ongoing.

I mean, Proton has a long history of quietly complying with subpoenas

I think Hetzner+Tailscale+Nextcloud might be a better solution

That fucking peripheral vision, target lower… no… it’s right down there, you can see it just not focus on it… no… you turn past to look somewhere else, eyes dip…FUCK YOU BRAIN…

Not to mention how badly we’d be outnumbered.

I just verified that debian livecd booted inside a ventoy/qemu gets a new id every boot. So as far as tracking, single session only if firefox-ESR gives that data up.

Of course as soon as you log in to social media, steam, what have you, telemetry all over again.

Computers have been a mixed bag

Entertainment is better.
Education is far better. (you can learn about anything you want right now for free)
Racism was on a slow decline. (communication, education)

The economy is far worse The job situation is worse.
I’d say cars are better, being more efficient, but the SUV loophole fucked that.

my 7 series maps completely via front facing camera, no lidar. It was a bumper so it knows when it’s actually touching the thing, but it already knows, it’s just donfirmation.
