Same.

Not our problem. Adtech is cyber warfare. They can find new business models not designed to exploit nor control us.

We need to stop depending on Big Tech giants like AWS, Google, Microsoft. I personally hope it breeds new innovation.

Lucky you. I’ve been a CIO, a COO, VP, and entering in to the job market at 35 starting over again nobody wants to hire somebody with those experiences. Not in IT/Cloud/Security anyways. Those are ‘you network in’ but being rehomed across country from California after 1 parent died and the other one depends on you and a promise being made to take care of them before the other passed, you’re right; it is demoralizing. I’d suggest to everybody, hone a craft and hone it good, then make a service, market it, and network with people to be able to apply it to new things. Consulting, and entrepreneurship. It’s so demoralizing going from one level to the lowest that the depression can hold you in bed that day.

Purpose? That eludes many. I feel horrible for what others are going through, just wanting to make something of themselves, for themselves, for their families, and being absolutely shit on by variables outside of their control.

That’s a really cool project. I like your blog I’m going to bookmark it and subscribe to it. You seem really smart. I’ve been trying to dev and make projects work of mine for years with no luck (battle depression), but always happy to see people make awesome things and launch them. Will show all the love and support I can.

Oh wow! Awesome to find the real ones out there that aren’t mad popular. They deserve all the love too.

I never moved away from ini I’ve just been sititng back watching you all re-invent the wheel over and over and over and over and over.

I never thought of that, and that’s actually really cool. thank you!

Absolutely amazing!

That is cool! Right on. It’s all about making good memories and being able to enjoy the good memories and share them, that’s pretty awesome. Definitely qualifies as cool in my books, thanks!

Then hide it encrypted in an image upload or some other packet. Listen for ‘buy a <something>’ encrypt its text version, wait for something to cargo it with in a data transmission so people looking at data transmissions aren’t any the wiser, hide it in some obscure way that would look normal otherwise, it’s intercepted, sends off to advertisers. Adtech is cyber terrorism.

It would just slowly accumulate it over time, little bit here, little bit there until it has a fleet of stuff to serve you in a queue, so while you’re making more and more bits for more videos, it’s serving you videos while you make bits of new videos and sharing them over websockets that JS CDNS force-feed our browsers to centralized servers to offload similar users with similar ad-tastes to also help compile.

Some shit like that. Adtech is cyber terrorism. Never forget.

I tried to cold turkey technology. I went near insane.

Honestly not sure why anybody gives two fucks about celebrities anyways, some are okay but the underground scene has the realist people, because they live in the real world. Seeing through the illusions that what people think or believe in regards to some highly regarded opinions because somebody is popular due to ‘pop culture’ is a blessing. I say let Elon Musk have them. I’m not going to read it. Only twitter I read is the twitter cross-post spam of screenshots people post.

Zuckerberg telling us all what we already knew about being pressured to censor COVID, Hunter Biden, and whatever other posts goes to show left is evil, right is swinging around monkey bars like school children. Social media is a giant playground where everybody’s being swayed by their emotions and being tricked and lead around likes horses.

It’s crazy.

At least Elon’s having fun with it all.

No no no, you want Linux desktop. Install Oracle VirtualBox and play with the different linux desktop distros and find the right one that’s best for you. It’s fun. It’s not filled with spyware and adware and isn’t bloated with Microsoft’s crazy antics. And, it’s free. Once it’s installed check out this: https://github.com/tycrek/degoogle to de-herpes your internet experience and 👍

Yess yesssss let the linux flow throughhhh youuuuuuu. Manjaro XFCE here. Play with the distros in Oracle Virtual Machines and find the right one for you. Linux desktop is seriously worth the effort. Check out Yakuake as a Quake style drop down terminal to get to hacky stuff. Learn everything about Linux. It’s fun!

I may switch over to fedora, I needed something non-debian with XFCE.

That’s unfortunately just how the internet is/works. It’s all links and links to each other. Check out https://archive.is and https://archive.ph - Maybe we can build a decentralized archive thing based on IPFS or something

Absolutely not our problem. They can come up with other business models. Maybe they can resurrect one of the hundreds of projects/business models from them at https://killedbygoogle.com/ and run with that

Nice. I switched from Manjaro KDE to Manjaro XFCE. Check out Tilda - it’s a drop down Quake style terminal, I use ctrl + ~ https://micg.net/the-way-it-should-be-manjaro-xfce-the-lightweight-linux-desktop/

I suggest Manjaro. Debian’s always 5 versions behind, and Ubuntu’s ‘selling security’ - Fedora’s good though.
