Well, I already use a marker to cover up the ‘god’ in ‘in god we trust’ on every bill that passes through my hands. Guess I’ve got more work to do soon.

Even Apple allows more user customization and choice than Gnome does these days.

“No, fuck you. You’ll use your computer how we tell you to, and you’ll like it!” just isn’t very compatible with “Please give us more money!”

Not worth it.

Security guarantees written by the current regime aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.

Tomorrow: “In exchange for a pinky swear from congressional Republicans that a vote for moderate reforms would be held sometime in the next year, Democrats have given in to all Republican demands and passed the funding bill with no changes.”

But you can’t roll your own linux distro?

You can, but it wouldn’t be better than Hannah Montana Linux.

Doesn’t matter if it’s accurate. Now they have more unique data points to help track your digital footprint.

This could backfire magnificently.

Let the (typically upper-middle class) people in the airport witness and deal with ICE thuggery directly … just before the budgetary debate. Let them see small children arrested, families being torn apart, threats and violence against innocent and non-threatening people just based on how they look. Let them see fascist thugs marching around saying ‘papers, please’ to everyone who isn’t pasty white. And even if they’re sociopathic enough not to care about any of that, ICE will cause delays at the airport, and that will annoy air travelers. Let all those moderately wealthy people with time on their hands make a stink to their congresspeople about what they saw.

It’s going to expose a ton of people to ICE brutality who are normally insulated from this kind of shit. And that’s going to shape opinions at a crucial political time.

This is by design. Conservatives get outraged if you try to add critical thinking classes to school curriculum.

They have the most access to misinformation as well.

I don’t need gas or oil to cycle.

Well, technically, it really helps to have a teensy bit to lubricate your bicycle’s bearings. But that’s all.

My next phone will be a Motorola with Graphene OS.

I’m thinking maybe my next phone is a dumb phone that can only make calls and maybe text. They still make those, right?

I hope it ships with a desktop background of a burning police car.

the only way I can connect to wifi now is via command line

On the plus side, you’ll look like a super-leet haxor to your friends when you do this in front of them. Be sure to say, “Okay, I’m in” once it connects.

SuSE too niche to even show up on this chart.

You know what? I know they’re far from the ideal solution, but I have installed a few things with snaps … and it was fine. It worked seamlessly and painlessly (in some instances).

Generally, I’d prefer other ways to install, but snaps aren’t the end of the world.

(This concludes my hot take of the day.)

Windows is less corporate than MacOS?

Just stay on Debian and be patient for the new Plasma version. Problem solved.
