Good morning ... err .... Goodnight. I'm going to attempt to get some rest, before people possibly come over.

It has been a long day.

My weekend was a waste. Friday night, my neighbor once again had the cops over her place. 2x in one night. This put me on edge, and I ended staying up all night. I did not get any sleep until 8:00 AM. That means I started Saturday sleeping, and did not wake until 12:00 PM (noon). After only 4 […]

Harry S. Truman had an approval raring of 22% Donald Trump is a monster who has done horrible and unimaginable things to his own people. But he still has a better approval rating. That is how I know we are in trouble. Because despite everything, there are still people who think better of him […]

🤦 "WhatsApp cannot be trusted, because META (Facebook) is likely spying on everyone." "Oh yeah, totally! They're working closely with the United States government, and who knows what they'll do now that they've embraced fascism?!" "So, what should we use?" "I have an idea! Let's use Signal — […]

In the past, I recall successfully running DistroBox and Podman with VirtualBox. However, this setup doesn’t seem to work well on NixOS. While it’s possible to get VirtualBox working with QEMU (albeit with some difficulty), the performance hit is substantial. I've improved the virtualization […]

Every time I see someone, claiming the voters screwed up. I want to shout: "No, you don't know how elections work." You understand that people vote, but you severely lack understanding of why.

@Linux @jcrabapple I knew of @Codeberg and @forgejo but didn’t realize the relationship. Thanks for explaining that!

I am looking into a "new" operating system that may fall outside U.S. jurisdiction. AerynOS, formerly known as Serpent OS. Personally, I’m glad they changed the name. #linux #serpentos #aerynos

70k may have matched at the White House, but not on it. So disappointed. lol

@DemocracyMattersALot > " About 70k people marched on the White House today. " * opens every news site * I see nothing about this, nor in your video either. Please don't give me false hope like that.

My basement layout. The basement door directly faces the side door, going outside. It would likely cause a wind tunnel effect if standing in front of it. Under the stairs, you'd have the electric with water on one side. The oil drum connected the furnace on the […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

All clear. 😀

Just sitting inside my basement... behind a refrigerator. Hoping a tornado doesn't hit the house. How's everyone else's weekend going?

A warning is not a watch. A warning means there is a tornado. #tornado

tornado warning western Massachusetts. This means there is a tornado, a warning means there is a tornado. #tornado #massachusetts

@Linux Consumer protection laws are cruel joke in the US of A. Law heavily favors corporations and business here. Quite literally corporations get away with murder all of the time. Look at the casualties of Big Pharma.

This is a catalyst of greater discussion here in Canada - the destruction of local media has decimated local decision making. Gone are the days of local news offices and we need folks to resurrect it away from Postmedia. I think we can re-democratize local media if they have the support […]

In the United States, if you violate your customer's privacy, you’ll most likely get fined — but it's usually an amount the company can easily afford and ignore. We have a phrase for that kind of “justice”: the cost of doing business. In Germany, if you intentionally break consumer privacy […]

@Free_Press I am American — And I am developing a list of digital services and products outside U.S. jurisdiction. Why? Because my government has become a fascist government and due process is no longer guaranteed. We have large corporations surrendering user information with any warrants […]

The common household pain medicine, Tylenol, which has been around for 70 years, is completely safe, and has been prescribed by millions of doctors... But previous spoke out against Donald Trump... The CDC is going to falsely claims causes autism. 🙄 Funny how everything they don't like they […]

I dared to try to compile the audio driver for DisplayPort in OpenBSD, but clearly OpenBSD has a significant change from FreeBSD, by comparison. 🤔 (I knew they were not the same.) It would be awesome if I could figure out how to get that working. I would like to use OpenBSD has a host system I […]

2:00 AM and still wide awake.

@DemocracyMattersALot We do not have real news in America. Real news would report all the facts – the wonderful, good, bad, and ugly, and then shut up, letting you form your own opinion. What we have that passes as “news” is 1 celebrity-type reporting, interviewing another celebrity-type […]

Cops are back --- again. Really don't know what is going on over there, but clearly my neighbor is still having a moment.

Sleep? What's that? I am wide awake! And I suspect I will be for most, if not all the night. Stupid neighbor.

Ten years ago, I joined Public Health Canada’s “FluWatchers”. Every Monday I get a 2-question survey asking if I had a cough or fever last week. Takes 20 seconds. They collect data from thousands of Canadians to help track respiratory illness like COVID & flu. You […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

My neighbor, whom I have often written about, was just visited by the police. This time, I have no idea what’s going on. All I heard was really loud knocking and someone shouting, “Easthampton Police, open the door!” Whatever happened must have happened while I was in the restroom. I’m not the […]

@alexblock I have a list of web browsers, outside U.S. jurisdiction, and most of them do not have AI, too. https://codeberg.org/Linux-Is-Best/Outside_US_Jurisdiction/src/branch/main/Web_Browser.md

@Linux What should we use instead?

I feel sorry for Firefox users. You all stayed with Mozilla Firefox, because you did not like Microsoft adding CoPilot into Microsoft Edge web browser. And what does Mozilla do? Add Microsoft CoPilot into Firefox. They also added Google Gemini and Facebook LLaMA and OpenAI's ChatGTP, along […]

Gaza is experiencing a blockade. That's why everyone is starving — because there is not enough food to go around, because not enough is coming in. Israel has been blocking supplies for months. They've been bombed into the Stone Age. There are no public libraries, schools, or universities. Even […]

Anyone here sort of avoiding doing their job today, or is it just me? lol My vacation is a week away, and a part of me has already "checked out." I keep trying to be engaging, but there's that part of me that just wants today to be over so I can enjoy my weekend.

If thinking outside the box were easy, everyone would be doing it. (Or at least I hope they would.)
