I don’t even trust non-unlockable bootloaders. There’s so much planned obsolescence everywhere

You’re not going to have anything to hang it with in CECOT

there’s a difference between using irc for livetime troubleshooting and not having a forum at all and directing everyone to your livechat discord. i’m sure some sicko out there has run an OSS project on only IRC, but their project likely got no traction because a history of problemsolving posts is important in open source. generally speaking, you need:

• a wiki
• a static indexable searchable forum
• a live chat place for real time communication for novel problems

too many projects these days only have that last one in the form of discord

more like 200

that trajectory leads to Antix to give you full control over every decision and then from there to debian or devuan because all that decision making is exhausting, can’t the machine just work and only update when there’s security patches?

He’ll be so fuming mad there will be 9 strong questions

xmpp is underrated

gotta get catharsis while you’re processing tragedy somehow. in a lot of ways this guy had it figured out

it’s the social features and the network effect. if you want to make a playlist and share it with your friends the easiest way to get them to listen to it is to host it on spotify. also blends, collaborative playlist, jams, and now listening all provide the illusion of connection through a shared listening experience. and it’s not so much that these things are better than what we used to have for sharing music, it’s that corporations have all killed our ways of sharing music. that’s what they really hated about groove shark. artists made more money in the groove shark era, but umg, sony, and warner didn’t control how we shared on it.

science fictiun has been warning about a surveillance state that becomes so pervasive it penetrates your thoughts for decades. but we never really wrote any speculative fiction about the state planting evidence of thoughts on you
