In a fight between delusion and physics, physics may always win but delusion never concedes.
So done with Netflix. Streaming just isn’t worth it any more; I have better things to do with my time.
Might I recommend a library card? Most libraries have a DVD/BlueRay collection to borrow. And there are books. Maybe the younguns might want to consider reading a few more books? It’s good for you. Like eating vegetables for the mind.
What are these data centers to be used for? People say AI, but that’s not specific enough. This shit is surveillance state.
Sure, you could. But that defeats the purpose.
GrapheneOS won’t protect your cellular data and metadata. It can’t stop location tracking by cell tower. But it does a lot for those who are privacy concerned.
It’s a PITA to use. You set up different profiles for different uses to separate out app tracking. Turn off Google services when you can. Manage each app. Switch profiles around constantly.
It’s work But… ain’t nobody watching you.
Security. Privacy. Convenience.
Pick two.
Motorola will have a GrapheneOS compatible handset. I use a Pixel 9 Pro with GrapheneOS though, and it works reasonably well.
I will not install their app. Period.
Seems he’ll really need that expensive security detail after all.
Oppose it. For most of my life the United States was not a dictatorship. It’s still not quite, yet. But MAGA is certainly trying.
Regardless, the distinction between democracy and a republic conservatives so often make to discredit democracy is one that slyly promotes dictatorship.
Splitting hairs over the difference between a democracy and a democratic-republic misses the point. China, Russia, even North Korea, are all constitutional republics. Do you want to live in a country with a dictatorship like that? I don’t.
Even if you don’t drive, you still eat because of roads. No food delivery to supermarkets without roads. Same for all other goods and services.
I hate these Mott and Bailey arguments.
The discussion was about professional use. Then you moved the goalposts.
Affinity is good, and runs OK on Linux with recent versions of wine. Resolve is very good. A credible alternative to Premiere, though Fusion isn’t all that compared to Ae.
Ardour is great right now. As is Reaper.
Gimp is still not an alternative to Ps. Not even close.
In Vancouver, BC. There are public toilets here. Big self cleaning stainless steel boxes on the sidewalk. Go in, have your piss. Except there’s also a huge drugged out street population too. So I’m walking Robeson St and I see a wasted guy pissing on the outside of the toilet in broad daylight. I’m like, he’s missing the mark in more ways than one!
Not a Brit. Sorry.
DO NOT CHOP ONIONS WHILE COOKING WITH REMAINING EYE
I know librarians are still much the same.
She may dress conservatively and act prim and proper, but behind closed doors librarians can get freaky!
Oligarchs are robbing everyone.
