Thank you for having the spoons ❤️

The way thiel talks about the Antichrist… Really kind of feels like the kind of stuff the Antichrist would say.

Dude, we’re all so cooked. How’s the rig working? No more letting out the “magic smoke” I hope!

I would say that these are some of the first dominoes to fall in this collapsing economy, but it kinda seems like a bunch of em are falling at once. Sometimes I wonder if its time to invest in a solar rig for the van so we have power while we flee.

Huh. Never liked them a lot before, but now a definite no.

Being in a panopticon prison state has a way of dissuading people from doing the needful.

Obviously there’s more nuance than that, but…

Maybe to get an idea of what’s going on, look at the timeline at https://maps.deflock.org/timeline

I don’t have the spoons for more explanations right now, but we know how badly we’re getting fleeced.

Pop os. Need to make the time for the transition and do a little testing with the bootdisk to make sure drivers will work out okay.

I’ve been using Lubuntu on my potato laptops for years and tried mint on a win89 machine, so I figure this couldn’t possibly be as hard.

Thanks for posting this. It’s good to know that the propaganda still flows

If your intent is to sterilize the coils so that they can’t grow anything funky, then yes, probably that would be for the best.

Also, you could certainly test it by setting it to turn on when the furnace is on so you can see how stinky the ozone is. If it smells kind of strong, then that’s probably too much, right?

Yep. I’ve picked my Linux distro and I’m going to make time for doing this soon

Great. Another way to discriminate against the neurodivergent!

No, I don’t, and I’m sorry, I just have looked into it before myself, and once I looked into it, decided I wanted to avoid it completely, So my research stopped there.

I do have a UV bulb that I’ve glued into a tote so that I can sterilize things like my CPAP. After that I will air it out for a very long period of time to make sure that all of that stuff is gotten out.

One thing that I can tell you that I’ve learned from what I’ve researched is that the more air that flows over the bulb, the more ozone will be generated. So if it’s just sitting there not doing anything in still air and it’s producing a certain amount, having it in your AC unit might produce more. So that might be an angle you might want to look into.

Practically speaking for an AC unit, what I think would be really useful is to be able to turn it on at the beginning of the season to kill whatever bacteria might be in there, or to just be able to periodically turn it on.

I think the best way to put it is that a game at release today is more like a game in beta in the 90s.

A game in beta at the 90s would mostly work and would probably be almost thoroughly playable, but the difference is here you don’t have a cartridge that you can’t update. You have a piece of software that’s sitting on a hard drive anyway and is fully updateable after launch. And so they’re pushing the production further and further down that line, right? The enshittification comes where they push it further and further towards Alpha so they can cut their losses if the game doesn’t turn out to be all that profitable or interesting to the players.

Or 100% solid-state, if you know what I mean.

Be aware, that’s likely to generate a non-trivial amount of ozone. It may not be good for your health.

Or Zoox suit riot?

Oooof.

Hospitals are scary.

Sounds like an opportunity for malicious compliance.

Auth is down? AI did it.

Did you mean to say warehouse?

It will take work to completely supplant and make redundant the current system.
