Arch and Android

We don’t have many workers rights. In Virginia my employer paying near min wage can charge ya $5 for a new name badge. Totally legal. And they do.

This meme is so basic, it’s probably made by a bot.

Nostalgia fallacy

Well, they probably read Machiavelli and may not always have our best interests at heart so it’s not inconceivable it’s entirely intentional.

Lol lazy CCP. Now that optimization is going brr that probably won’t last. Lol idk maybe they don’t care. If it isn’t a problem why care? If it became an issue though they’d lock it down so fast lol

嘿，宝贝，想换VPN吗？(Hey babe, you wanna swap VPNs?) 🥵

I keep getting shocked with Arch lately. Software is getting better fast with AI to boost productivity. Blender runs at light speed on a laptop with an i7-6700hq, 16GB DDR4 and a GTX 970. Even Wayland works super well!

Btw this is brought to you by Minecraft

I’ll never give up. I’ll shove my 256-bit AES encrypted USB stick so far up the glowy asses they start vomiting shit and USB drives. I still use YouTube and shit tho. I try and convert people. I’ve been successful getting quite a few people on Signal. The problem is that if there isn’t interoperability and everyone’s friends aren’t on it some forget to even check the app or don’t get notifications. If you leave message contents in notifications you’re fucked anyway. Lol I feel their pain, but I wish I could get people to care before bad things happen. I mean, bad things have happened. We just gotta keep it up.

Also with LLMs getting good the less informed user can make changes they want and learn as they do with less effort so lower barrier to entry. The Arch wiki isn’t even that hard if you have a level headed 24/7 assistant that knows enough and can reason well enough to teach you something. Only if you make sure that you never expect perfection. I don’t trust people’s work blindly so why would I blindly trust an LLM? That’s the lessen we gotta learn. Use the brain lol

I have all my puts down

I’m finding Copilot better than any search and better than buying by itself and world’s better than Google search, but it’s totally not private… So anything you seem sensitive or private you just can’t use it for

I think this is a reasonable argument. A lot of it seems to just have been companies using inflation as an excuse to raise prices causing more inflation.

Well that’s just capitalism. Just like the rise of sugary drinks and booze cigs etc. We’re not optimizing for the well-being of people. It’s all about that dough. China is the same, but instead it’s just one big extra shitty company.

Plus good luck if you like psychedelics and shit. China can’t arrest you for DMT in the US, but the feds and local police sure as hell can.

Yeah but they’re just distracting from the domestic surveillance that is oppressively bad. I’ve never seen a compelling argument TikTok is somehow more dangerous to use than Facebook. At least for a US Citizen with no family in China. But you go out explaining how you’ll assassinate Xi on any platform they could send somebody to take you out. Anyone who trusts any company or government with their data is naive.
