Yo hi! I usually post things about linguistics, science, biology, environmental science, health, and recently, some stuff on numbers. I'm an advocate for freedom of communication
I'm a bunch of things but I mainly focus on environmental science, training people into becoming scientists, and an array of aspects about communication. A strong future for humanity and life depends on good community and good communication. I accidentally became a linguist, and I've made a few alphabets, my latest one is called NewEng and it does a good job of encapsulating both English pronunciation & its accents, and English etymology.
Recently my octa core 12 GB ram phone has been unbearably, unusably laggy.
This seems to be directly caused by the Proton Drive app, trying to do file encryption and backup in the background.
This is Yet Another Nail In The Coffin, stacking up against Proton overall, as a service and as a company.

When it rebooted, it randomly decided to boot a different uefi boot entry.

g) at least I posted tonnes of stories on Instagram about Palestine & AI
Fighting companies who play illegal games against us is nigh impossible.
Unless you have an oppositional nation fighting in your corner.
Ironically (from Western view) it may be China et al who frees us from the tyrannical anticompetitive grip of corporations like Microsoft, Apple, Meta & Google.
I envision a new uxui paradigm not too distant from the current, in which no fucking buttons fucking move any fucking where unless something is first pressed
I am SICK of tapping the screen only for whatever I was tapping on to have MOVED
Recently I've observed Windows Explorer hanging unrecoverably when I plug an old HDD in via USB.
Firstly, a faulty storage medium should *never* hang an OS, idc what excuses and explanations you have.
Secondly, mmc.exe is the culprit process. It's beyond Admin control so couldn't I kill it.
If your passion, potential and motivation in life are a) about being romantic, b) based on finding a lover, and c) locked up in the condition of having a lover, then I'm sorry to break it to you but you are beyond help, you are the only one who can wake you up, you will be a burden to any lover, and you need to self-actualise asap
So the default display colour profile for Windows exists literally nowhere
However, if you create a new user profile on the computer, the default colour profile re-emerges from nowhere
Just popped back into genshin after months' hiatus.
The story writing for Natlan is actually amazing. They're tackling personal trauma and multi generational trauma, social responsibility, responsibility of a good leader, and more. There's a lot of good education in these stories.
