then you can just start an xserver (X11 or x.org), i think wayland comes with a window manager integrated... so i guess not what you want. you might also consider tiling window managers like rat or something similar, i could imagine those right up your alley (if you want to multitask)
scoop out whatever is stuck to the foam on the top
drink slowly until you see the grounds
ps: just kidding though, i use the fully automated machine at work like the others there, which puts us all into the trotskyite ca- uh... group, i guess.
what i described was the prevalent preparation method in my hometown though
oof, critical thinking AND being objective? you mean ACTIVELY searching out the content that goes against everything you stood for and ACTUALLY engaging with it instead of dismissing it as nonsense?
if that is what it takes, i think the world is doomed.
some washing machines have a dryer included, and i guess one could use asics to generate dry heat for this, but im not really sold on this until i disassemble one of those and actually find a mining operation in there. asics could scale better for an "application" like this rather than expecting to find a gfx or mining card in there with pcix lanes or something which would be rather inefficient and finicky in my opinion.
regarding the upload, of course they could run two schemes: mine and also sell whatever they are recording: there could be any type of sensor in there. and it could record constantly. heck maybe its just something dumb like a bug: looking at that dip between 13 and 15oclock: could be it ran during that slot and then some bug made it reupload the last log or some such thing
i dont use matrix (anymore {until synapse stops hogging all the ram and shitting all over the database [with federation enabled] or dendrite gets an import/run-from-synapse-db-solution}) but matrix certainly has instance-only (or private or something) rooms... not perfect, but maybe better than "federation quirks"
there is no water, just people carrying other people... all the way on top are a couple few sitting on their machines sucking out the lives of those who are carrying them while throwing out trinkets in hope to direct the masses... or something.. a nightmarish spike of steel and flesh, a spring fountain of value next to a smokestack of death, all the way down beneath the machinery: on all fours, crushed backs, hands desperately scratching up dirt to feed the machine in hopes for a smidgen of anything
and the bottom of the machinery would be a boot..
well, there are probably more modern ones than ratpoison though... thats the one..
