if you’ve ever used a radar detector you know, people drive like they are always being watched. not often in my experience. doubt these dolts are real sophisticated. fear is their main weapon.

yeah pretty much never trust a public wifi without vpn. bring your own router. cell data is pwned. technics aren’t in their curriculums.

prices for solar are continuously falling. bleeding edge is expensive, as always. cheaper helps it grow. big oil wants to kill it. too late.

okay. but without a link, hearsay. https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/collection/lunik-loan-space-age-spy-story not really science, more spy craft

in a system where money is the only goal, those with the most start believing they are also smarter than everyone else. mostly luck and mass hoarding opportunities at the expense of everything else. follower counts also have similar effects when they are the only goal. buy the follower system and just edit counts until satisfied. never enough. hoarding anything eventually buries the hoarder. dark is a general term for a hoarding fixation. change the goal and they will fixate on the new goal.

might be brain damaged but haven’t noticed a slowdown or seen any ads in occasional use.

past performance may not predict future. js. mark a calendar

remember when paying removed ads? crazy i know. no subs ever.

after the linux nerds opt out. there’s still 98% of the flock begging for ai surveillance from recall and whatever apple’s scam is lately.

reality conflicts maybe. btw, not exactly science but adjacent.

ads will continue until subscriptions improve

didn’t read it all but in my experience people will buy anything from a gas station and smoke it. bath salts, caffeine pills, corn chips… It’s safe. not. addictive check. sociollogy i guess.

facebook is over-run. have to visit for family. try not to say much. never know what will trigger it. links to fedi get rejected as spam, so i post more links

got in trouble for ‘liquidated’. Secret word list code for violence. Filters used to be useful and just replace the offending text.

same here in firefox. uhh

again?

windows took away moving the task bar. I like it on the left. now I have 3. 2 on top and 1 on the left. xfce on ubuntu. some assembly required

left a link on the desktop. she likes some website better. meh, as long as I don’t have to look at it.

all wife needs is Mahjong and shopping. not like I need to run Mine Sweeper. just a browser with Internet. Most could not install any operating system so charge for the install labor. lan-splaining is a waste of time. bring a book if Mom needs her windows fixed. thinking about putting her on linux when her machine finally pukes.
