"One of our deepest, most fundamental problems as a craft is that we have enshrined «velocity» above all else, willfully blinding ourselves to the long-term consequences of gimcrack software."
Great quote by @bcantrill , from bcantrill.dtrace.org/2018/09/1….

To all the people that came to me after my talk on @termux recommending me to use postmarketOS, PureOS or a Pinephone:

There will be theme night specifically on mobile Linux on the Jan. 30 at @chaostreffbern where we can discuss all the different kinds of mobile Linux variants. I hope I get to play around with some of them. Maybe I'll be convinced. 😉

For those at the back of the class, let me say this once more. Fuck! Facebook! #LGBTQ #Transgender #nonbinary #TransRightsAreHumanRights 404media.co/meta-deletes-trans…

Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.

"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".

You're welcome. Please boost for others.

Donald J. Trump is a Convicted Felon!

Trump Sentenced to ‘Unconditional Discharge,’ Will Enter Office as Felon

Judge Juan Merchan gave the president-elect a penalty-free sentence for his hush-money crimes

Solely because of the election results, Trump escaped justice for his 34 felony convictions!

A black eye for justice in America!

APCA is no longer part of WCAG3. You can still use it, but for conformance (legal, policy, etc.) reasons you will still need to follow WCAG2. It’s possible to satisfy both in most cases.

This is it, installing Windows 11 enterprise IoT LTSC. After HP Display Control service reinstalled for the 4th time in 2 weeks, I'm done. Don't even know what scheduled task or app is causing it to reinstall as all other HP programs are off my system and I'm not motivated to dig through scheduled tasks to see if one is sneaking in to silent install it.
