Why doesn’t anyone see this for what it is. They put monitoring for certain keywords but fucked up the code and it blocked some users through incompetence. They fixed the filters, but I guarantee they are sending reports to the White House…

I figure by then, it will all be part of some AI training set one day. Hopefully my shitty writing and bad opinions poison the shit out of it.

I’m sure it works great but it’s like curing a toothache by breaking another one out on the other side of your mouth. My problem with windows isn’t how difficult to use it is, it’s how restricted and how connected it must be. I don’t have full control of the system and I’m required to have external accounts for it to work. Same with chrome.

My data is mine, I don’t want it accessed, owned and controlled by a faceless internet corporation.

So, professionally I do not care what system I am expected to use, they are all functional. If the person signing my paycheck is comfortable with it, so be it (in fact, I’m a big proponent of externalizing risk in a corporate setting). Personally though, I’ll keep up my greybeard routine :).

I like it, do it! Have you read Altered Carbon? Has some similar themes. I loved the book, might be some good inspiration. I’ll read yours when it’s out, love that genre :).

The rich are the problem, something needs to be done about them. I’m hungry.

Edit- ugh, embarrassing misspelling left up too long.

Exactly, the vision was flawless, it will all be blamed on the execution. The people who failed to build it will be held accountable though; departments of them…

Fucking awesome system we have here.

Big fan. I don’t demand much from a window manager, just stay out of the way. I’ve never really had to give cinnamon any thought, shit just works. I spend most of my time in a terminal window though, so not really pushing the GUI.

This is cursed, unnecessary, unexpected and impressive all at the same time.

Thanks, I’ll look there. I usually just go Amazon or Newegg (easy returns if bad) but I’m sure there are better deals out there.

I used to pay like $69 for them in the US. Looks like they add a hundred bucks or so to the price…

I’ve got 30tb or so made up of 4 and 10tb used drives. All I’ll buy anymore. In fact, I need to change out of of my parity drives. Hopefully used market is still somewhat affordable.

he’s got harry potter money, takes roles for the fun of it now…

I daily drive LMDE with a 4070ti super, works perfect. I do use the proprietary drivers but I hardly ever have issues.

It’s great, well worth a try. Stable, functional and compatible, just how I like it.

Thats what LMDE is for, Linux Mint Debian Edition. Been my daily driver for years. Otherwise I use vanilla Debian for all my server and headless stuff.

OMG, I do this when a drop is about to spill, it’s reflex, Can’t help it. But I’m always terrified someone will see me being so weird.

Glad to know I’m not alone I guess.

Often and increasingly they are not bothering with the discretion part anymore.

I was going off about passwords last week because of exactly this kind of shit. Who in the goddamned fuck needs a pringles.com account.

We live in insane times.

Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but the US is filled with shitty people.

Sounds like a hell of a system that puts mine to shame. I’m impressed fellow self hoster :)
