As someone that had an elderly mother that was scammed multiple times because of sinister bullshit like this, Facebook can’t burn to the ground fast enough, and fuckface Zuck needs to swing from the gallows.

I read this a second time but in the voice of the Clear Eyes commercial guy lol.

Pooped FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

Graphic design was what introduced me to them haha. To this day, I’m still on a Mac at work, but now it’s programming. At home, it’s all Linux.

Was never a Pagemaker person. Even InDesign was shaky for me, but I had to use it for work. It grew on me. Just had some weird sluggishness at times iirc.

Old school Quark was so barebones. Hated it at first but loved it as my knowledge of it deepened. It was a divisive tool back in the day!

Any new TV I get at this point is going to be put into its own network that gets access to nothing and that’s on top of simply never connecting it to WiFi. I know it can probably still sniff out SSIDs, but it can’t send them anywhere if it has never been connected to my WiFi.

Yeah, this is correct.

• InDesign - page layout
• Illustrator - vector design
• Photoshop - raster image editing (but has smart layers that can contain vector shapes)

Source: I was a graphic artist for ages and my first version of Photoshop was 5.0.

Adobe Illustrator is the other one.

This is what I need to do, yeah. That way the underlying provider is all that changes. Good call!

I gotta say I’m getting real tired of having to change my email on every service over and over and over.

We don’t get a lot of kids on our street, but we always decorate and hand out candy. We made it a point to sit outside this year so kids were more comfortable walking up. I don’t really dress up, but I’m a metalhead with long hair and all of my attire is pretty goth and dark, so Halloween is when my wardrobe becomes even more relevant.

My wife and I walked the neighborhood and got to walk through 2 scare zones in people’s yards, and then someone gave us Jell-O shots lmao.

I’m 45 and will never age out of this stuff. Next year I want to decorate more, project Halloween movies on the house, and hand out candy. 🤘

Yeah we should do something about that… 👊

I argued with a libertarian IRL once and they accused me of watching too much liberal news. There’s no point in arguing with robots that answer in binary and have no media literacy.

My favorite is when they make fun of Biden in retaliation, and then I join in on it. It breaks their tiny world.

I have a friend that has a beheaded Chromebook mounted to his wall. He uses it for random stuff like streaming shows to a TV. It’s so ugly but it works 😂

Damn, still going on a Dell XPS. Hell yeah. I have a tiny ASUS laptop running Arch, but the battery in it needs to be replaced.

They also published their website. So now Nintendo knows exactly who to file a takedown notice against. Hopefully they have their domain details anonymized. I’m curious what the other OpSec fails are though.

[…] which also sparks enthusiast fears of not being able to own your own hardware or software, but rather rent an agent and a computer in the cloud.

This is ultimately the goal. They know they’ll never get most folks, but could definitely convince a good amount of them to just rent computer usage through some cheap device. These guys write all of the tech rules and regulations now. Imagine how stoked they’d be if we were all on thin clients. They continue to hoard RAM, they can spy on us, and turn around to sell our data. Walled garden.

Andy would call this post “loser talk” lol 😬

Our cat Toph is a spicy tortie. She likes to bite when she gets super happy and excited. It’s almost like emotions come to a head and that’s the only way she can get them out. She’s insanely affectionate but it would drive some folks away (we’re actually convinced we found her after someone had thrown her out; probably for being spicy). We understand her 🫂

Slap a low-resource Linux flavor on them and they’ll keep going for years! I’m running Nobara and love it.
