Can we declare a threadwinner?

All the better, you know how to find help.

You might even be a better windows fixer than someone certified simply for that. That, and you’ll share your learning process with that person asking for help.

It means load Letter size paper. The printer is out of paper.

I love the idea!

I absolutely despise it when it is locked down from the user, owned by the corporation that produced it, and operating as an arm of the surveillance state.

Even discounting the need for safeguards, sanity-checks, and verifiability of information.

Those monstrosities are not allowed in my home until I can remove the spyware operating system.

Nice username. I remember when they got away with using that name (minus the numbers) for the handshake to WPA3, and were deeply suspicion-inducing about whether the mathematician who authored that was on the NSA payroll or not.

Valid and real. Good luck.

Is your country taking American Refugees yet?

But where is Palantir on this? Because they’re discernibly connected to several of these orgs, and that displays the character of what this is actually about.

You know how the US government has 3 branches that are supposed to check and balance each other? We should teach that Corporations, Government, and Individuals/Unions operate similarly.

Corporate terms of service check individuals against abusing others. So do government laws.

Government is supposed to check corporations from abusing their customers. And customer boycotts moderate corporate behavior.

And corporations… Apparently moderate the flow of information to individuals so the companies always manufacture consent. And lobby for their own advantage.

If nothing else, by describing how it is, we can have a real conversation about how fucked/okay all of this is, and examine what parts of this framework are actually functioning.

And in that, we can explore where Unions fit - as 3rd party bosses steeped in corruption, or as genuine representatives of their people. And explore how to rebound in just the one context, because we are good citizens. 😇😅😉

Gentoo and Arch are built to be infinitely mod-able.

Writing a patch for a thing you use at home, and wanna share it with the world? Gentoo even makes that easier. Arch stepped away from that to rely on precompiled binaries for simplicity and efficiency’s sake, but it’s still available through the ABS and AUR with some extra steps.

Nix and Guix? I’m afraid of the dependency-redundancy involved, but organizational deployments seem like the right place for that.

Serious development without requiring a dedicated machine, where all deps are accounted for? Yeah, Nix/Guix will help quite a bit. Rapid, flexible deployment of something customized and virtualized? There too, Nix/Guix.

Need some containerization or Virtualization? Gentoo or Arch already has your back. And if that’s your primary usecase, you may prefer Qubes to anything we’ve already discussed. Then again… Gentoo could use a Qubes-porting repo maintainer.

I thought SteamOS was already out

Cartridges with “transgender and anti-fascist” writing on them were found.

• source: *Steven Crowder Matt Walsh has a “guy inside the FBI”. Effectively a “trust me bro” pseudo-fact.

Edit: I can’t tell right wingers apart

As a Qubes user, do I span the entire graph?

Sounds like we can fuzz that for some serious vulnerabilities.

Right? Arch detects all my hardware. Its my favorite Gentoo install medium.

Fine! I don’t even know why we have an Arch Install script wiki page
