Now when we have Matrix, we also need to deal with rescuing people from a NIH protocol designed around a property nobody needs.

Blocking UA access via JS alone is not enough.

Best joke of the day! You wouldn't even consider the road across a road, lmao, perimeter.

Google + Slack is pure unadulterated garbage. Gotta wonder what Teams is like if you suddenly develop nostalgy for a flaming dumpster.

I'm on my third and fourth pair over what, 7.o years? Doesn't work for music I don't know the bass lines for. Absolutely brilliant for podcasts. And don't cheap out, buy the top of the line ones.

NixCon Europe gets sponsor money from a military company. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever had a knee-jerk reaction, because not only they were having such a nice peaceful day before getting reminded that military exists, and they themselves are sponsoring it, while, clearly, in the enlightened world like ours military = bad, "every rifle made is money taken from good causes". Also, wars are something that only happens in history books anyway, not, say, present-day Europe, amirite? Tons of internal value dissonance, fediverse buzz and free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

NixCon NA gets sponsor money from the same company, because the value proposition of the previous PR stunt was so sky-high, it'd be negligence to not repeat it. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever are reminded once again they don't have a slightest say say in what they're funding, so they try their best to not get funded back with their own money and bury their heads back in the sand again. Tons of free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

Now the foundation publishes a sponsorship policy, the community debates whether it is or is not enough to prevent said military company from diverting funds from the stuff they find so revulsing and towards the stuff they are so excited about. This round of free PR is on the house.

What's gonna happen next, we all wonder.

inb4 "what would you say when the Nix-powered killer drones arrive to your country to start cost-effectively slaying your people": "it's 2024, dafuq took you so long"

The hard part is unlearning last century distro mindset, not this.

You forgot to degoogle.

Nope, a monitor is an expensive small TV that gets font rendering right =D

HMAC is a what again?

A TV is a device that shows you what you want. This is no TV.

What? They are super-usefully for decryption, specifically because of the inability to copy the key.

No, only stupid apps are stupid.

Webpages are webpages. Apps are apps. Just don't use webpages that are shitty apps, don't use apps that are shitty webpages, never let a webpage display an ad, never accept a closed-source app and you'll be fine.

Quick, without looking it up, how many days ate there in a Saturn year?

If you don't know, they have successfully bypassed your conscious mind.

Sometimes an ad so shitty that you can't even remember neither logo nor the brand is just a shitty ad.

Coherent pre-cooked narrative? You must be talking about some different Russia.

You need control first. Obtaining it is larger than all of that.

Choosing between a bad option and a worse option is not the control you need.

No. You keep treating the symptoms.

Congrats, you're 12% there.

We don't even have NGI.
