Became a casualty of X's overzealous AI moderation. Account suspended out of nowhere. So I'm here now for good! Here's a crab.

@Cocoa I dunno. Zip disks are fucking shite and you probably shouldn't even bother to touch them, but he has some level of a point has apparently there's a lot of Gen Z like that, and if the fuckers cared enough, we could probably escape the own nothing digital future instead of playing with Zip Disks or something

Here's my hot take for the night:

writing in books is borderline criminal unless they are books you printed and bound yourself or are books so cheap, old, and used they have not much time left for the world

It blows my mind that people are still using Ubuntu on the desktop. I actually thought for a moment that Ubuntu had disabled the ability of users to shut down their system. Yes- I only saw 'suspend' as an option when I went to the shutdown button. The reason is I was behind the lock screen. Seems like a bad design, but that might just be GNOME.

I have a ton of criticism for Canonical, but the most recent is they utterly dropped the ball for the 2nd time in a decade when it comes to USB wifi adapters. They failed to include the firmwares in 26.04 and so hundreds of thousands of users are unable to connect to the internet.

The only other "distribution" that I am aware of that has gotten it this wrong is "Purism's" ???? (I'm going blank with the name at the moment) and humorously that was worse because they didn't include the only free firmware in a distribution that only works with free software friendly hardware (theoretically, it appears they actually include non-free software, or they've been caught doing it repeatedly anyhow.. and stuff they should have caught... every other distro did).

Not every state is as friendly as this. There’s still potential to use eminent domain, tax adjustments, or even environmental sabotage to ruin this, among other things. Certain people are petty enough that they literally will fight to change state laws over allowing people to just live in peace.

Remember they aren't getting dos/win98/xp like we did.
They're getting either mac or win11, no local accounts, all cloud storage, win app store. It is not much different than android.
So to add on the list of proper things to do:
-No smart* anything.
-No tech illiteracy/finance an admin.
-Familial multi cession computer.
-FSF cert GNU/linux for the OS.

>The problem is unchecked free access to everything under the sun, whenever, wherever
It requires not being illiterate and that's not going away in the current context.

I hope they're charging them triple or more the rate they would have been making working for them.

Still volatile, but not on the level of crypto.
