I got the BIOS flashing kit in today. I'll need to do a deeper dive with it tomorrow to see if it's everything I need to #libreboot my ThinkPad or if I absolutely positively NEED to get a Raspberry Pi.

Being in my late 40s sucks.

Can someone sneakernet me some 80s cartoons so I can watch them while eating a bowl of sugared cereal?

I understand there are people new to Fedi so I will say this: People offering advice in Fedi are often posting from places of experience, not privilege. Especially when that advice comes from, say, someone who has a spoonie spouse and has had to deal with quacks calling her a "pill chaser."

Biological families are, more often than not, nothing but trouble. That's why I have an issue with someone calling me their "brother" or similar; because I don't want a "found family" to go sideways.

Nat-C propaganda media is staffed and hosted by people who flunked out of grade school and have never matured beyond that point.
Conservative media treats science as if it's an opinion, like it's just one perspective of an issue with two sides. It's not. Scientific understanding is comprised of conclusions based on observations. The conclusions may not always be accurate or complete, but there's a grounded objective root […]

In the _Starfleet Technical Manual_ , there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar […]

Speaking as a straight white man, Nat-Cs are going to Nat-C because they feel "inadequate." Which is only reinforced when you try to refute their complete and utter bullshit with those pesky "logic" and "proof" things.

Since I've been on Mastodon I have:
• bought 2 used ThinkPads
• bought a kit to #libreboot said ThinkPads
• started a recurring donation to @signalapp
• started playing with #meshtastic devices

Amazing what no algorithms will do for privacy, security, and sustainability.

Well I didn't vote for that fucking idiot. I voted for that laughing prosecutor lady who didn't win because everyone in the fucking media was wondering if she REALLY worked at McDonald's in the early 80s to help pay for law school.

Because of course they did. And the only way to feasibly expand the court is to wait until this fucking national nightmare is over.

It's also in the UCMJ. Everyone involved in at least the second illegal strike should be court-martialed and sent to live in the Navy prison in Sandy Eggo for the rest of their lives.
