Tokyo city like a big playground

Man, I remember watching this guy about ten years ago. Great channel!

Whoa! I’ve never seen someone running Parabola before! Could you tell me what WiFi card you have?

As for ricing, I’d recommend looking at colour schemes. I used to use Dracula, which has pre-built configs for GTK, Qt, i3/Sway, Xresources, and most terminals.

He would have been in his early 30s at this point, but if this tape I found online is anything to go by, he just looked like some dude.

OpenRC and sysvinit are probably the best options out there, and dinit looks promising. Personally, though, I like s6.

Syncthing. It’s not so much a backup as redundancy, though.

I have machines in the network that rarely get powered on, however, so I could possibly consider them offline backups.

Well, it’s made it difficult to find an industrial placement at uni. While many of my peers are going to be working for BlackRock, Leonardo, Boeing, or some AI-related company during third year, I’m probably going to be attending lectures. It’s also made my workflow tricky, as I have a thousand (hyperbole) reasons why I won’t use certain software or operating systems, which in turn means I have to reverse-engineer and self-teach slightly more of my degree than other students.

Also, I’m not sure if this is the strong sense of justice, increased empathy, a subconscious inability to detect sarcasm, or a combination thereof, but I also can’t make jokes at people’s expense when they don’t deserve it (even if I know it would be okay). For example, I am a member of three student societies, one of which is a Formula Student team. There is wall-to-wall banter each time I go in and I always have a good laugh, but I feel as though I am physically incapable of making any jokes myself. I wouldn’t even have to worry about going too far: most of the society is also autistic to some degree (and therefore able to understand), and any particularly edgy humour is always perpetuated by the members it’s about (if that makes sense).

However, I also believe I have benefited somewhat from my sense of justice. I refuse to use AI in any capacity (even when we would be allowed for our work), due to the environmental and social consequences. I would say that having to actually understand what I’m doing is far better than the alternative – meanwhile, most people I know are using Gemini to write their shellscripts.

Yes, and I’m afraid that I (LSN, self-Dx with high certainty, awaiting formal Dx since early 2023) been guilty of giving this advice until some time last year, when a user on this very platform informed me that what I was suggesting was masking.

One major factor in this problem, I believe, is that a lot of the “raising awareness” stuff I’ve seen over the years tends to focus on just one part of our demographic (namely young, medium support needs boys), which is quite counter-productive. This is likely the main reason why none of my teachers ever thought to have me tested, and why I was 17 before I thought “Hmm, I can’t shut up about Linux, I have a bunch of autistic friends, and I just watched three solid hours of old PSAs. I wonder if there’s a reason for all that?”

There are times when masking is a good idea, this potentially being one of them (I do not know the context); but on the whole, it really isn’t fair to do it all the time just to placate neurotypicals when they are more than capable of dealing with it without long-term psychological harm.

Ah, to live in a world where the rich and powerful are held accountable for their actions…

Tox is interesting, though potentially less secure than Briar as they rolled their own encryption and have not been audited (afaik).

Neither do I. I use Mullvad Browser, which is based on Firefox.

Brave has its own content blocking system, which is on-par with uBO and better than uBO Lite. I tested it myself a while back, and Cover Your Tracks, Fingerprint.com, and CreepJS indicated that it was incredibly difficult to fingerprint: moreso than Librewolf, but slightly less so than Tor/Mullvad.

That said, however, PrivacyTests.org indicates that Librewolf blocks more tracking technologies than Brave, so it’s possible things have changed since I last experimented with browsers other than Tor and Mullvad.

Well, it does do a fantastic job of removing ads and reducing fingerprinting.

They are a provider as well as a client now.

Where is this? Asking for a friend.

(Actually, though, where is it?)

Is this sarcasm?

Reminds me of the time I used my hacksaw to break up a rather thick slab of chocolate I’d bought (standing on it got me most of the way, but splitting it into bite-sized pieces would have required more downward force than my weight could provide).

Of course, the sawblade didn’t actually cut it well at all, but it did generate enough heat to melt through it.
