just an english enby living through the end times...

  • favourite launcher and why?

    Jump

  • I use μLauncher (from Accrescent). It's quite minimal and has no distractions.

    I also like Ion Launcher, if only because I can make everything look skeuomorphic without having to trawl XDA Developers.

  • favourite launcher and why?

    Jump

  • I like how Ion lets you add shine to your icons. Makes it all look very 2009!

  • Removed

    Jump

  • Is there a lower term than pond-scum?

    Jump

  • How about we just start using the word "trump" as a term for the most disgusting and malevolent threst to humanity we see before us?

  • How do you backup you'r KeePass database

    Jump

  • Syncthing. It's not so much a backup as redundancy, though.

    I have machines in the network that rarely get powered on, however, so I could possibly consider them offline backups.

  • I guess this is the end.

    Jump

  • Well, it started out as a basic windowing system for DOS, so...

  • Scarfolk rules

    Jump

  • Scarfolk may or may not exist in England. No constitution 'round here!

  • Lmao

    Jump

  • There's your problem. Just keep the laugh track on and it stays funny.

    Same deal with Friends and also a fair amount of standup.

  • The US slashed research for cancer, Alzheimer’s, mental health — and nearly everything else | Revealed in one chart.

    Jump
    • Board of Peace: *starts a war
    • Federal Bureau of Investigation: *reluctant to investigate Epstein files
    • Health Secretary: *slashes funding and destroys research

    What the fuck is wrong with you all‽

  • Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question

    Jump

  • Classic Tory move by Labour.

  • Trump says he’d endorse Jake Paul for political office

    Jump

  • I need horrible things to happen to these people.

  • how has your strong sense of justice impacted your life?

    Jump

  • Well, it's made it difficult to find an industrial placement at uni. While many of my peers are going to be working for BlackRock, Leonardo, Boeing, or some AI-related company during third year, I'm probably going to be attending lectures. It's also made my workflow tricky, as I have a thousand (hyperbole) reasons why I won't use certain software or operating systems, which in turn means I have to reverse-engineer and self-teach slightly more of my degree than other students.

    Also, I'm not sure if this is the strong sense of justice, increased empathy, a subconscious inability to detect sarcasm, or a combination thereof, but I also can't make jokes at people's expense when they don't deserve it (even if I know it would be okay). For example, I am a member of three student societies, one of which is a Formula Student team. There is wall-to-wall banter each time I go in and I always have a good laugh, but I feel as though I am physically incapable of making any jokes myself. I wouldn't even have to worry about going too far: most of the society is also autistic to some degree (and therefore able to understand), and any particularly edgy humour is always perpetuated by the members it's about (if that makes sense).

    However, I also believe I have benefited somewhat from my sense of justice. I refuse to use AI in any capacity (even when we would be allowed for our work), due to the environmental and social consequences. I would say that having to actually understand what I'm doing is far better than the alternative -- meanwhile, most people I know are using Gemini to write their shellscripts.

  • Privacy-Focused Proton Mail Aids FBI in Uncovering ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester’s True Identity

  • No email provider will go to court for you for €3.99 per month.

    From the start of the article:

    Key Takeaways

    • Proton Mail shared payment data with FBI through Swiss authorities via legal treaty
    • Credit card payments eliminate anonymity despite encrypted email content remaining secure
    • Third known disclosure reveals pattern of Swiss legal compliance over privacy promises

  • Assuming I know nothing about ZFS, would it be a bad idea to install CachyOS on ZFS?

    Jump

  • In my limited experience running ZFS (daily driving FreeBSD with ZFS for two years, and also running Void Linux with ZFS for about a week quite recently), I always found it to be a nice filesystem that was decently fast and didn't break. I currently have a ZFS partition on an external disk, but that's just because I have some files with names longer than 255 bytes that I need to store, and I can't really use ReiserFS anymore. However, for my root partition, I usually opt for XFS (or JFS, on older machines).

    It's also worth noting that my stack is weird. I tend to run well-known but less popular Linux distros on older hardware, normal usage sometimes breaks everything, and I could probably leave my laptop unlocked at uni because only about three other people know how to use my window manager. Also, the hardware itself has a habit of dying for a week or so and then miraculously self-repairing.

  • Anyone notice how all (well intentioned) advice for autistic people is just "mask harder"?

    Jump

  • Yes, and I'm afraid that I (LSN, self-Dx with high certainty, awaiting formal Dx since early 2023) been guilty of giving this advice until some time last year, when a user on this very platform informed me that what I was suggesting was masking.

    One major factor in this problem, I believe, is that a lot of the "raising awareness" stuff I've seen over the years tends to focus on just one part of our demographic (namely young, medium support needs boys), which is quite counter-productive. This is likely the main reason why none of my teachers ever thought to have me tested, and why I was 17 before I thought "Hmm, I can't shut up about Linux, I have a bunch of autistic friends, and I just watched three solid hours of old PSAs. I wonder if there's a reason for all that?"

    There are times when masking is a good idea, this potentially being one of them (I do not know the context); but on the whole, it really isn't fair to do it all the time just to placate neurotypicals when they are more than capable of dealing with it without long-term psychological harm.

  • Don't forget christofascism!

  • hey can you hear me

    Jump

  • No, that bit's funny. I mean the running joke about Linux audio being bad.

  • hey can you hear me

    Jump

  • You know, I don't get this joke. I have been using Linux and BSD since 2019, and the only incident I ever had was with sndio(7), and that was because I decided to switch to the -current branch of OpenBSD without heeding the warnings.

    Apart from that, whether I was using ALSA, PulseAudio, PipeWire, JACK, or OSS (on FreeBSD), I always had a perfect experience.
