It’s more complicated than that. I’ll spare you, but I recommend the forks of Firefox like Librewolf, Floorp, etc.

I’d been a Vivaldi user for a while too but the latest version killed Ublock Origin, so sad to say the browser is now dead to me.

My boss bills customers for his on-site visits (technical) wherein he goes on site, plugs in his laptop, and makes me remotely do all his work remotely. I can’t wait to burn this bridge when the time is right.

Definitely don’t go on Amazon or Ebay and buy a cheap mouse jiggler. It gets detected as a generic input device and moves the mouse cursor 1 pixel left, then right 24 hours a day. They are available for under a fiver a piece. Plug it in at day’s start and unplug it before you walk away from your pc.

I was glad to see with Cyberpunk that I could skip login with their launcher. Later when I decided to try RDR2 it didn’t let me skip login, so I refunded that shit with 0 minutes played.

Yeah I wonder too how many just took their signage and flags down but haven’t change their minds in the slightest- just took the “kick me” sign off of their backs.

Do you think we even have a way to turn away from it as a country at this point? My perspective isn’t terribly hopeful.

Interesting perspective. May I ask your age? I’m going to be 48 this month and while I have similar relationship experience, to the point that I don’t have any experience at all for the last 20 years- I feel like the last thing the world needs is someone as broken as me raising a child. I can’t be trusted to do the dishes these days.

People who do anything other than acquiring coffee in coffee shops are untrustworthy.

You ever get the feeling someone is testing your sanity?

Asking for a friend

Not the feeling I get in Wisconsin. Sure, the bumper stickers and lawn signs have largely disappeared, (You wouldn’t believe how long the yard signs stayed up) and the homes/properties that displayed giant Trump signs (Some made giant signage, the cult is real) largely still display them outside cities. I don’t notice as many red baseball caps these days–

But I can drive ~15 minutes from home and show you a barn with a 100-foot wide Trump sign bolted to its face, still today. In rural areas it seems some people would support him even if he went crazier and declared his dementia was a gift from God.

There’s a home in my city that made their own “Trump 24 FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” banner that stood for years, built out of wooden poles a foot wide and 1/2 inch plywood which only recently got defaced enough for them to remove it and replace it with a new (non-trump) far right politician’s campaign sign.

Feel like I live in a sanitarium.

I’m a linux user myself, but can’t see ARM doing anything particularly well in a laptop in the near future, at least outside of the Apple cult. Even S76’s high power ARM desktop looks (to me) extremely limiting versus a comparable AMD machine.

Interesting. My perspective is that it’s just recording history. I guess I don’t read that deeply between the lines. I don’t see a motive there.

Yeah market fluctuation regularly explains prices more than quintupling while supply vaporizes overnight. The fuck are you smoking?

Frankly shocked to see you say that. You either have a very specific job or are a particularly interesting weirdo. What would be your use case?

AKA some of it is meatslop

Interesting thought. Still, if anyone ever made a record of my life I’d want such a thing mentioned.

How so?

I know that look you saw. I enjoy it. If people ask me what I think I usually give them some version of “I prefer my critical thinking unaltered, thank you”

The man was fucked late in life- REALLY fell off the sanity train, BUT if you’re not familiar he was also an unbelievable genius-level man before losing it. Crazy freakin’ rabbit-hole to go down if it interests you. It did interest me.

Hey if you’re okay with it and actually read it, more power to you.
