For what it’s worth, I am a frequent lurker of hexbear and their users’ newspaper archive is wonderful - every politician is full of it and they know it full well.

If they have root access to my PC, webcam access is arguably not my biggest concern

To the people who insist on me adding a sticky note to my webcam, I can only say

sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo

Then what good is a state for? Let’s get down to anarchism once and for all!

As long as public money -> public code, this could potentially be a net positive for stopping predatory AI practices from Microsoft and buddies. Still, taking away funding from other projects could also be catastrophic for everything else.

Pink Floyd is underwhelming for a band commonly labelled as “prog rock”. Most of their stuff is forgettable, albeit Alan Parsons Project came off it, so I guess it’s not irredeemable if it inspired something genuinely good.

Well, unless you’re a nerd, you only see those messages once

Slightly unrelated but the quality of the screen capture is crisp wtf

WYSIWYG editors rock. Long live TeXmacs!

What in the cock

Recording meetings with other people, messing up with desktop layouts and whatnot.

But they haven’t been pushed at all lately, and there were deprecation talks in the KDE forums.

False dilemma fallacy

Another commenter mentioned going by a pseudonym, which is pretty much what I had in mind - I’ve always been grown up on the idea of not disclosing your full name nor your physical location, but many universities’ websites not only shows the full names of their profs, but also their coordinates and their office hours.

There’s a publicly available record of where and when someone is readily present, for better and, especially when it comes to preserving one’s safety, for worse.

Let me make this point clearer: would you publicly disclose where you live or where you spend most of your time? I hope you see some of my concerns now.

I trust this is the right place to find like minded people and maybe find a solution, not to argue about what an academic should or should not be.

I’d rather use TeXmacs or LyX to avoid typing in obscure commands and whatnot

Tell me you don’t read often without telling me you don’t read often:

Fucking hell

Most of them are surely bots though

The ultimate litmus test for knowing if a south American country is a democracy or not - does an English speaking lad want to overthrow its government? If that is the case, chances are high it is a democracy…

Does Netflix count as the open web? It definitely feels like so, but I’m ready for a wealth hoarder to tell me otherwise!

Aren’t you supposed to test that shit before going live?
