much appreciated, thanks!

anyone know the original artist/name of portrait?

so we’ve come full circle?

this is the laugh i really needed today XD

keep fighting the good fight. it’s worth it.

i’ve had more friends ask me about lemmy and peertube bc of stuff i share, which is good because that means they’re noticing. no one in my friend group is “into privacy”, but sometimes i like to ask them questions like “what will it take for you to switch from (big tech service) to something else?” & let the discussion flow from there.

since they aren’t “into privacy”, they’re not aware of how their habits feed the big tech beast, which in turn feeds all these terrible agendas. an example is how they’re against the ICE raids and say things like ACAB, yet they use Ring cameras.

recently, i’ve had a few friends ask me for alternatives to (big tech service), and one of them even asking for help degoogling!

it definitely gets hard when you feel like your advocacy has fallen on deaf ears or whatever, but all we can do is lead by example. stay the course <3

i suffer.

why did i read this whole article? this is all you need to know:

“In cycling, ‘barefoot-style’ doesn’t mean riding without shoes, or even ultra-minimalism, but rather refers to design elements such as flat soles, no heel lift, and roomy toe boxes that allow for more natural foot function.”

just ride barefoot if you want nAtUrAl FuNcTiOn, shitass.

i learned about this phrase & Pyrrhus from a Samuel L Jackson movie.

“In an interview with Vulture, Samuel L. Jackson singled out One Eight Seven as his most underrated film”

“the German state of Schleswig-Holstein will phase out all Microsoft software from government workplaces. The goal is to fully transition from Microsoft programs to Linux and open-source programs within the next three months.”

so much business-speak to say ‘we bought the company’.

“Based on our reading of the information provided, future products will fall under the Industry Nine brand. It’s unclear if any employees will be let go as a result of the acquisition.”

the photo and caption are perfect

this is one reason i am mulling over selling my vehicle. too many license plate readers in my area. my recent insurance company also wanted me to install a beacon in the vehicle and allow their app to always allow access to my location, in exchange for a discounted rate. GTFOH. it was quite pleasing to smash that beacon with a hammer though.

i’d pay for tickets to that event.

hahaha, hilarious comment :D

nah, not odd at all! it was one of the first things i noticed before i got down to the hardware specs, so it got my attention.
