Flock needs to be sued into the dirt where it belongs. Absolutely disgusting that they've been permitted to do what they're doing. Take it all the way to the SCOTUS. View quoted note →

> Finds a great icon pack to complete my mid/late 2000s rice of KDE Plasma > Enables it, everything looks good > Opens start menu, sees one application has a missing icon For all of Plasma's awesome levels of customization, piecing together bits of different themes is a major pain in the posterior. 😑 #Linux #KDE #KDEPlasma #gui #uiux #opensource

I just blended User Account Control and User Datagram Protocol as UAP ("unidentified aerial phenomenon"?) in a discussion when I was specifically trying to refer to UAC... I think I need sleep 😂 #tech #techmemes #protocol

Every time I need to troubleshoot and fix things on a computer, I throw down some Master Boot Record as I do. Somehow, it takes any frustration and turns it into an epic battle to subdue some silicon. #metal #music #musicstr #computer #retro #electronic

Not nearly enough metal guitarists use pinch harmonics with lower tones and reverb. Sounds absolutely insane compared to the overdone high-tone pinch harmonic "squeal" sound. Case in point, the ones Devin does in this performance during the final pre-chorus at the end of each line.

A really good read. This is something that you need to look into if you live in Europe. And if you don't live in Europe, keep an eye out for this in your own region. The introduction of a CBDC will be the end of freedom and it can't effectively be fought at that point. View article →

Here's a radical idea! Maybe teens don't need to be on Instagram at all, and parents should start paying attention to what their kids do online. My parents kept a pretty close eye on what I did online as a teenager and I'm grateful for it. I wasn't allowed on social media until I proved myself capable of handling it. View quoted note →

I'm actually not anti-AI at all anymore. I favor it for a lot of purposes and think it can do some really amazing things. But at the same time, I have to agree with the anti-AI crowd on one thing: it's getting incredibly old how these out-of-touch tech CEOs think that we need to have AI in EVERYTHING. Personally, I think a balance of AI with traditional resources is the ideal solution. Putting AI into everything just makes people lazy. View quoted note →
