Firefox Focus and DDG on mobile. Qutebrowser and Librewolf on desktop.

They totally can. They just don’t really care, because they are mostly funded by advertisers.

Why would they go after their friends and bosses?

The “hype” is just marketing

I ran Debian on one of the surface pros a few years ago. It took a bit of hardware hacking, but it was great.

I use a TWM and spend most of my time in the shell, so I didn’t get to utilize a lot of the OS features. But things like reading comics, and surfing the web were pretty cool.

I always wondered if Gnome would be a better interface for it. It seems like they’ve been leaning that direction for a while.

I think you are starting off with an incorrect premise: In the US, the role of the cops is not to keep people, or society safe. It often also has very little to due with “the law”.

The role is to keep the rich and powerful, rich and powerful. They are meant to oppress people, and keep the slave-machine running. Cops shooting people, stealing from them, escalating situations, and not knowing the law is the intended situation.

In that sense, the cops are doing their job to great effect, and don’t need any more training.

“permanant”

Brought to you by the same companies that “accidentally” re-add you to their spam lists.

It’s just a normal sticker, so it would work on pretty much anything. I think of it more as a way to donate to a group that I like, as well as good advertising for them.

I’ve been covering my cameras with tape for a long time. If you wanna get fancy with it, the EFF sells laptop camera stickers: https://shopeff.org/products/laptop-camera-cover-set-ii

Yup, it’s hard to justify supporting Lenovo, but work buys mine, so I’m not gonna complain too much about it.

Thinkpads are awesome. They aren’t as good as they used to be, but they still work great for linux.

Why mint?

I use mint as my “TV room” OS. It’s worked pretty well so far.

I’m pretty annoyed at how ollama has gone deep in the paint as basically being a tool for accessing cloud models.

Can you expound a little more on what you mean by this?

I like ollama, but I only really use it to load models and then hit the API. My current issue with them is that they don’t seem to support non-text base interaction very well.

I’m not going to say that I don’t have a server-collection problem, but that problem did put me on a good career path, so at least I have that going for me.

As a system administrator, I’ve done all of these to some extent. But at that pay range, it better be part-time.
