Yes. And let it come. When legislation fails, this is what comes next. The world needs a proper reset for the oligarchy.

Heyooo I missed my own pun :)

I’ll take a laugh wherever I can when everything sucks this hard.

At some point I want to setup linux on my android phone and tablet with chroot. I have heard devices with reasonably good output are getting some pretty amazing performance.

To me this could be one of those moments like how the steam deck basically opened the door for linux on pc’s. The hardware is there. A modern phone with 12gb of ram can do plenty at this point.

I am using a couple of android devices that are rooted and pretty well de-googled. I am using F-droid and other repos and pretty much sticking with open source. Will this change hit any of the FOSS stuff? I understand we can still install those apk’s as per usual.

Honestly, seeing how Linux has been exploding in growth thanks to the steam deck and copilot, I don’t see how this doesn’t do anything other than bring about a sort of streisand effect. Normies are gonna stick with their normie shit. They don’t want to learn anything different. They likely are already giving up data and privacy. I hate to be this guy but… fuck em?

It’s always been an arms race. To one degree or another. And the so it continues. Just keep fighting.

If there were any competency in this world, THE BEST CASE SCENARIO for Meta and the rest would be fucking dividend checks to everyone that uses the platform. The amount of data harvested from an average american house with a modern car, smart appliances and every kind of surveillance tool you could ask for, should yield enough that you shouldn’t have to work another day in your fucking life.

Sue the fucking ever loving shit out of waymo. Kill this fucking company.

For starters there is little to no unified architecture for electric cars. Everything is more or less locked down and proprietary. Secondly cars, like all other modern electronics, are filled with bloat. They are heavy, inefficient, impossible to maintain. All of this in the pot makes them fucking expensive.

Make an open source platform. Build electric cars where you have basic spartan componentry. Parts bin cars. Knobs and switches. Rolling windows. Replaceable parts. Easy access. 2000lbs with fuck you acceleration. Price is at 20 grand. Buy the car. Own the car. Take it to a shop of your choice, or fix it on your own.

Do this and there would ONLY be electric cars on the roads in 10 years.

She IS cancer. Happy trails.

The cost of living in this world is simply resources paid into the arms race.

For me, I focus on what I want out of my tech services. Learn to build and learn to maintain. There will be ways to mask, spoof and anonymize.

And for sure, although it won’t be today, there will be legislators who move against this trend. This is, and always has been, a matter of legislation. Separation from church and state is now separation of tech and state.

I unsubbed and blocked mrwhostheboss tonight for exactly this reason.

To me, it’s just been mindless, trite stuff to have on while I clean. Honestly, I won’t miss it.

Channels that have been going overboard with AI-generated thumbnails have also started to get under my skin. Mostly it’s news-related content.

I just got banned for saying that I look forward to watching leopards eat James Comey’s face. They took it as a literal call for violence. The only thing that doesn’t make it perfect is that it wasn’t on r/leopardsatemyface.

I would say reddit has fully gone to shit, but somehow I think it still has a ways lower to sink.

I basically track everything with obsidian and spreadsheets. It’s a lot more work in the front, but it trains better habits for owning your own shit.

Don’t use services that track all your activity down. It should be pretty obvious as to why.

At the very minimum, log into all your credit cards and bank accounts and start cutting and pasting what you want to track into an excel spreadsheet. With a little youtube searching, you can make formulas and all kinds of good stuff that will get you a 90 percent accurate picture of all your activities.

If you like pina colladaaaaaas…

Yep that’s some title gore… I was trying to figure out how the hell that could even happen…
