Before ipas we had really light stuff, browner stuff and black stuff. It was a little boring

Back before crypto because a speculation vehicle we very nearly got rid of all this bullshit. Unfortunately it just wasn't convenient and widespread enough before people decided holding on to hashes forever was gonna make them rich.

Honestly, one of the great uses for gen ai is "write me a script to diagnose this problem" and then pass the output back with "write me a script to fix it"

I don't have the bandwidth in my life to diagnose and tinker for fun, and it's really made a bunch of big annoying things easy.

I found KDE way more intuitive than gnome, even though I was last on a Mac before the switch. Perhaps pick a KDE distro.

Also maybe list here if you have any deal-breaker apps or workflows to the folks can say if it's worth your effort.

And so it moves closer to the handmaids tale every day

 

This whole situation reminds me of the fable of Sun Tzu and King He Lu's concubines. I've linked a copy of the story, better than my TlDr, but here it is anyway. TlDr; Sun Tzu was tasked with training the kings concubines as soldiers. He gave them instructions, and they refused to carry them out, laughing and not taking it seriously. He then had two of the Kings favourite concubines executed against his wishes. Suddenly they were taking it very seriously and doing the right thing.

It doesn't take much to control a populace. The arrest of Luigi will make people he might have targeted feel safe again. But if they didn't feel safe - ie he was never caught - he might have made real change and the targeted group would start doing the right thing for fear of retribution.

It would have been an interesting alternate timeline.

 

Not affiliated with these guys, just a fan and this is a great doco. Understand its not the exact target of this community but hopefully those interested will find this interesting as well

 

Was thinking this after a rough landing today
