It’s the one time where I am glad to have a slightly unusual name.

Honestly it’s so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have [email protected] even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.

Leah has said some dumb stuff but I think this particular separation from the GNU project was the correct decision. The dogmatic no blobs approach wasn’t working, it is better to reduce/minimise the binary blobs and support more devices imo. Don’t agree with their previous actions though.

Not entirely the case anymore. Libreboot switched to a blob reduction policy in order to support more hardware. Hopefully this will bring things forward quite a bit over the next year.

Same. I just didn’t have any use for signal after SMS removal. Yes I know SMS is insecure but I was stuck. Either you use a separate secure app and magically convince everyone else to use it whilst falling back onto a separate SMS app anyway (for those who don’t use the encrypted app). Or alternatively you just have to use a mainstream app like Google Messenger with SMS plus RCS.

At least when signal supported it I could migrate family to signal and then our communication would be encrypted and they could still message everyone else over SMS. It meant a large portion of my messages were encrypted. After SMS removal everyone I had on signal just quit so there was no one to communicate with. Trying to get people to use multiple apps was like herding cats.

Surely it’s still somewhat better than leaving the lid up though? Obviously not perfect but still.

I’m pretty sure the haunted Victorian pencil that is Jacob Rees-Mogg said that the UK not having universal USB-C was a “Brexit benefit”. God help us all.

This is very bittersweet living in the UK. But still obligatory fuck Apple.

On behalf of Britain - please don’t

Honestly really surprised, I thought it was too integrated in Android to work with GrapheneOS. I think that might finally convince me to replace my dying pixel with a new one.

Wait GrapheneOS supports Android Auto now? That’s a game changer if true as it’s the only thing holding me back.

AMD has been putting a lot of L3 cache on their consumer CPUs. The 5800X3D has 96mb of L3 cache.

I’m currently on anger and it’s all about to come crashing down

Okay I said I didn’t need any more services but I’m cloning this now

Somehow it’s up

No idea how I did it, all I remember is waking up very confused. It was an air mattress that didn’t inflate properly and I had a habit of sleeping on the edge which I’m guessing is how I did it?
