  • That’s exactly what I’ve been racking my own brain for lately: How do we make their money worthless but continue to survive ourselves?

    That was the big problem with crypto. It might’ve even started as a cool idea that would “democratize currency”. . . except the dickheads with all the fiat money could just buy and hoard it all like everything else, because they had all the money. So it just became another high stakes gambling operation for them to extract MORE wealth from us.

    If their loads of money didn’t buy them everything anymore, they’d be left bare as the useless human beings they truly are, and would stop causing harm.

    But obviously, our entire society runs on the same money they’ve stolen so… it’s so frustrating…






  • Yiiiiiikes. This is why I’m gonna be stuck on tailscale or another VPN only access for quite a while. I know it’s not perfect, but exposing ports on today’s Internet is scary.

    I know I don’t have the mental overhead to secure literally everything, and have a solid contingency for when some botnet armed with a zero-day inevitably breaks it.

    Really glad this person wrote this write up about how that happens and what it looks like though. It’s REALLY interesting and I learned a lot!

    People like to belittle and demean things they think are a threat to their bottom line.

    Recently encountered this with people knocking FOSS as “children’s software”, clearly because they’ve already sunk enormous cost into their expensive licensed corporate pipeline and they don’t want a FOSS artist getting a piece.








  • If you notice, I never even argued open source vs Adobe. Use what you like.

    My argument is “Plenty of talented people, even in your industry, build FOSS that millions use. Doesn’t always have to be for profit. TL;DR: don’t be a dick.”

    You condemn open source software as “kiddie tools” and “children’s software” but the root of your thread is “plz help me run muh adobes in Linux.” It was fine. Then you started raging at hypothetical “attackers” like some cracked out bum.

    I’m just surprised even if Macs start checking IDs you wouldn’t be advocating for them as the only way to get anything useful and profitable done, since freely available software is allegedly clearly so inferior and unprofessional.

    Also I tried to help you out anyway with that link.

    Good luck, have fun, enjoy all your money you like talking about lol.


  • That’s… Horrifying. That poor kid. :(

    What absolute monsters would do that to children?!

    I’m so glad he trusted his gut and didn’t take that “offer” to Ethiopia.

    Best case: Guy was just trying to get him out of the picture before it caught up to him politically, being of the “anti foreigner, anti black, anti children” party. Disgusting.

    Worst case: Something very bad was being planned for him if he went on that trip.

    Also didn’t know I’d find so much respect for Paris Hilton.
