A privileged idiot.

Just encrypt the drive and store the key somewhere easier to destroy.

I buy TPLink gear, but only because I check to make sure it can be flashed with OpenWRT beforehand. I may not actually do that (my router is running it, but my PoE access points aren’t yet), but I make damn sure I can.

(Also, I almost bought Kasa smart plugs, then checked to see whether they could run ESPHome or Tasmota and picked a different brand instead. You always have to check, every single time!)

They are entitled to the same legal “innocent until proven otherwise” standard as individuals, yeah.

But should they be?

He accidentally the plan.

Well, yeah, that’s because all the “more” is redacted to protect the perpetrators.

This shit is why stuff like Free Software and the Fediverse matters. Who made that quiz? Was it propaganda? How’d he run across it? Was it pushed at him by a proprietary social media algorithm?

The oligarchs are using technology to stack the playing field against democracy. It must be forcibly leveled again, at all costs.

This isn’t an issue of simple individual responsibility. There’s an entire conspiracy behind exploiting these idiots.

Something something “white moderate”.

Lavish Cowardly

FTFY

Large motorcades provide security, not luxury. Vance is a sniveling scared little fascist pissant who knows how rightfully unpopular he is, and it shows.

Home cheesemakers ain’t 200-year-old artisanal dairies in the Alps, either! Literally almost everybody, including the vast majority of cheesemakers and 100.0% of hobbyist ones, are perfectly well-served by pasteurized milk.

I enjoy how Gentoo is listed in both chad and schizo tiers.

My typical Linux installation workflow:

1. Attempt to install Debian.
2. It doesn’t work because the kernel is too old to support my new hardware (even though it’s not always that new).
3. Rather than trying to fix it, just install Kubuntu instead.

Failing to have graphics drivers for my gaming PC with a GPU I bought the day it launched is one thing, but Debian also failed to have WiFi drivers for the cheap N100 NUCs I bought for my kids the other day – with wifi hardware that’d been out for multiple years at this point – and that’s just ridiculous.

Kubuntu annoys me with Snaps, but it also Just Works in a way Debian unfortunately doesn’t.

There are no Chinese search engines?

I stand corrected!

The Olympics is literally a competition between countries. Of fucking course it’s political!

More to the point, coverage in other countries did not edit it out. This was uniquely American censorship/spin.

Yeah, I probably should. It’s not that bad and I’ve got a looooot of stuff ahead of it on my to-do list, though.

WTF you talking about? If anything, aquiline noses are associated with Romans, not Jews.

🍊🤡, surely?

“Raison d’etre”

(Not sure if you didn’t know or were just betrayed by auto"correct")

The fuck it isn’t! There are way too many shitty people in this world who use tone policing and shaming to win arguments they rightfully ought to lose.

I’d prefer a forthright jerk to a polite sociopath any day.
