Nah, as someone who gave an honest, college try at making use of OneDrive, I maintain its fate vis a vie the rusty hook.

“Windows meme makers, can you go five seconds without revealing your appalling lack of technical curiosity?”

Windows Meme Makers: “The C drive! … How long was that?”

Who the fuck needs to “learn” Linux? it’s an operating system. You just push the damn buttons.

A paycheck is a paycheck. Lots of us exchange our ego for daily bread — we have a club and everything. We meet every day after work at your local bar.

Oh yeah. Don’t you guys also do murder scene remediation?

“Computer, fix this code and don’t make mistakes.”

Neato. Always cool to see a new approach. Synapse/Matrix is excellent, but, running a federated Matrix server is an exercise in frustration. So many version forks, so many hard crashes. :(

I am a professional designer with two decades of experience and I gotta admit, you’re smoking crack if you think GIMP (the project that is almost entirely held back by its stupid name) is superior to Photoshop.

It might be able to get the job done for small tasks, but it is not a serious tool for serious people. I’m sorry. I’m as pro-FLOSS as anyone can get, and even I recognize that right now there’s just no competition in the design department. Affinity is Mac-only, and comes with its own problematic aspects.

Meshtastic, baby!!

All my IT and InfoSec friends have called me alarmist for suggesting even the possibility of a GFW of America, but every day that passes, it looks more and more likely to happen, doesn’t it?

Start practicing circumvention techniques now, y’all, while it’s still legal and cheap to do so. Learn amateur radio. Learn Meshtastic. Learn all the different censorship-resistant VPN technology out there. Host your own websites or services for friends, family, or your community. It doesn’t make it impossible, but it does make it hard, and fascism is nothing if not lazy.

Google Pixel 9 Pofessional. It’s the slightly cheaper version, on account that it got a little burned at the factory.

“Aur”? Says here in my notes something about “Pacman” but that can’t be right…

I guess, but you will lead a lonely life if you can’t find common struggle with people in different scenarios than our own. We can easily lose our soul with these endless purity tests — for some reason, Leftists, progressives, and liberals seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next Jesus Christ, who will just simply energize voters by consequence of, I dunno, magic or some shit.

Neil Young is still a working musician who needs to get his face and music in front of as wide and as general of an audience as possible — why wouldn’t they be where people are? That’s what makes this stand so important. Homie needs Facebook and Insta and still said no.

Well, it’s not like Ted Nugent is writing any new music. He probably doesn’t have anything better to do anyway.

Fair enough. 👌

I respect that, but I built my own Tiny11 iso. You can do so as well here: https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder

Folks gotta give me a little benefit of the doubt. I’m not raw-doggin’ the modern Windows experience here.

Good looking out, I’ll check it out.

I’m really not far off. Once my Tiny11 install breaks, it’s on to Bazzite.

YouTube blew up the year I went to college and got access to a T3 line. 🤤 My school had pretty robust security, but it was policy-based. Turns out, if you are on Linux and can’t run the middleware, it would just go “oh you must be a printer, c’mon in!”

I crashed the entire network twice, so I fished a computer out of the trash in my parents’ neighborhood, put Arch and rtorrrent on it, and would just pipe my traffic via SSH to that machine. :p

Ah, and the short era of iTunes music sharing… Good memories.

Ah I am not sure. I just assumed it was W3C.
