Growing up we had 4 rules for tripping

1. You always need another cigarette
2. That didn’t happen
3. Cars are real
4. You probably shouldn’t

Any questions, refer to rule 1 and start the process over again. My man here needed #4.

Trip responsibility kids.

as they are privacy focused and have significantly fewer users, not yet.

but, the more users contributing and making requests, the sooner it could be integrated.

you can help by being one of those users!

They (I use that term to mean the average 4channer) were co-opted by alt right propaganda.

Most neckbeard, incel, Andrew Tate followers are what Anon originally was. We just lied to ourselves that it wasn’t really racist and that we were fighting a good fight.

Now, its a bunch of sad lonely people that found acceptance in intolerance and hatred.

commenting for tracking. I’ve been searching for the same.

can report UEFI installs of PopOS and Mint were recently borked by a Win11 update.

Buying stock is a risk. If you don’t know what you’re buying, don’t be surprised when it fails.

I’m exhausted with investors thinking they aren’t subject to risk. Fuck em all.

Yeah, this is incredibly fucked. I truly wonder if we could have taken control of our privacy and data collection at any point along the way and had a more informed consumer.

It still brings me back to the early days of the internet when you never told anyone your name and certainly didn’t give companies anything more than they needed to send you products.

Unfortunately, I think they have gotten addicted to the blood and we will never be able to stop it at this point.

We call Republicans hard R’s in our house… it just fits.

Brian Posehn has a great bit about it in his 25x2 special.

I am so, so close to doing the same. Still have a small partition carved out for CoD and Windows. I just find myself booting in to it less and less.

Thank goodness MicroVision seems to be keen on continuing to flog that dead horse with a Warzone focus, means I can finally be free.

I find my sense of humor has become broader with age. Its also tinged with (surprisingly) less cynicism but more darkness.

I think laughter is one of the weirdest mechanisms for coping. I laugh when kids get killed in movies, my partner laughs when something causes physical pain.

When it comes to comedy itself, I have less tolerance for the Joe Rogan crew of comedians (Segura, Kreischer, that lot) as well as Chapelle it just feels like exhausting space filler. There’s no humor left in it, its just out of touch, rich dudes rambling between punchlines.

That said, I find Bill Hicks as brilliant now as I did as an angsty teen. True comedy (shout out to Carlin, Pryor, and Bruce too) transcends age. Its found in human suffering, which we only accumulate more of with age. Not in tired jokes about gender equality, rich problems, and a discontempt for your audience.

Thanks for the rec! Typing on it now. Pretty decent so far. I dig the hover on the word as i swipe

Also posting from a Pixel 7 running Graphene for abouta year. No issues, I use Fdroid for most apps and Aurora when I have too. Only bummer is I haven’t found a good FOSS keyboard with swipe. Really miss gboard for that and gif insertion.

I don’t believe for a second it would stop at 4 years. We’re looking at a real Putin scenario.

Are we married to the same person?

There’s always one!

Must of been how they used the little red nub.

I really want this to become the new “Can it run Crysis”.

Completely off topic but your username is rad. Now I’ll be humming that song all day.

This is 100% the dystopian reality we are heading for. Maybe not in the near-term future but, there is no way that eventually corporate greed and shareholder gains won’t reach a point that this has to become the reality. They are simply leaving too much money on the table by not doing it.

I think our only saving grace is that the laws haven’t been defined enough yet to prevent this from happening. But I have to imagine to some degree it already is. Just look at the way driving telemetry is being sold to auto insurance providers in the States already. If the information is out there, someone will get their hands in it and use it to manipulate the price of something.

As a parent of someone on the spectrum that tried to help them maintain a DnD campaign, I can’t agree more. 🤣
