We've got the perfect global pandemic movie post-credits section.

  • Accelerating climate change and also the denial
  • Economic recession and increasing wealth gap
  • Myopic leadership both in government and corporate, rise of fascism
  • Misinformation campaigns, science and history denial becoming fashionable
  • Harambe

We're truly fucked.

Thank you for using IPA instead of other cheap beers.

Ah crap, you're right.

Happy to be corrected. But I still wish they were used prominently as it used to be before.

They'll be fine. Remember when we all joked about Covid-19 Omega variant a few years ago?

The consensus a few years ago in /r/privacy was that it's too expensive and risky for smartphones to transmit audio data to their HQ, bandwidth constraints, processing power and capabilities considered.

Now... with higher specs and advances and optimizations in AI for audio transcription, would it be feasible to do all that spying but locally on the device itself? The device would transmit 'daily reports' after processing.

More fox the merrier. We have Icecat, Iceweasel, Palemoon, Librewolf, Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser... I'm sure I'm missing many more for desktop.

It made me wince when Android did away with its dessert based codenames and now they're just 'Android 12' etc. It really went corporate after that direction.

And please tell me RebeccaBlackOS shows a cool popup or console message every Friday.

I'd love standarized modules to unscrew and separate the "smart" part just like a desktop pc can. If they want to shove in that shit, then at least make me able to pull them out.

We need to remind ourselves that there's an entire generation that has grown up with smartphones and only touching a laptop or a desktop pc occasionally. For them, windows or chromeOS alone is a challenge. Linux is just an isekai waiting to happen when you cross that bridge of no return.

virt-manager has worked fine for me.

Followed by smug mentions of cheap OEM keys and massgrave repo. Yeah, that ain't gonna fly for work laptops, guys.

Obligatory PS mentioning that I do use linux everyday on my personal machine
