Why is everyone acting like nothing's happening? It's obvious that in the next few years we'll have extreme unemployment rates.
"Just learn trades" won't work - guess what, everyone's going to be doing that. I think a prole should be prepared to become indefinitely unemployed, with a very high degree of propability, in the very near (5-10 years) future.
How are you preparing?

Post wallpapers. Images, youtube playlists, gifs, html pages. Today I share an ancient one that I resurrected by taking a ported version of the wallpaper swf from the HAL project and running it with ruffle and the KDE Wallpaper Engine plugin. You can find the new version (e.g. video, not flash) on youtube. Demo quality not representative.

1. I packaged all files together for convenience, but if you do not trust, then just take the project json, html, and swfs and download the selfhosted ruffle js and wasm from them directly.
   
2. You can use this with linux-wallpaperengine or KDE wallpaper engine plugin or wallpaper engine on windows. In the near future you can use it with waywallen.

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine.
1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

anonymity is over. even if you are a tor user, stylometry is the new deal.

The ComputerBase article (based on the study "Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs") describes the end of "practical anonymity." For users of imageboards like 4chan, leftypol, or similar platforms, this has far-reaching consequences:

1. The End of "Security by Obscurity"
   

Previously, anonymity on imageboards relied on the fact that manually correlating thousands of posts was too labor-intensive for an attacker. LLMs now automate this process at near-zero cost.
* Significance: An algorithm can scan hundreds of a user's posts in seconds to build a profile based on interests, jargon, location clues, and activity patterns.

1. Stylometry as a Digital Fingerprint
   

Every individual has a specific writing style (sentence structure, word choice, punctuation). LLMs are excellent at recognizing these patterns.
* Significance: Even if you don't mention your name, an LLM can compare your "writing signature" on an imageboard with posts you've written under your real name (e.g., on LinkedIn, professional forums, or letters to the editor). The "Anonymous" mask falls through the sheer structure of your language.

1. Cross-Platform Identity Linking
   

The study demonstrates that LLMs can link pseudonyms across different platforms.
* Significance: Those who "shitpost" on an imageboard while maintaining a professional presence elsewhere (e.g., GitHub, X/Twitter) risk these identities being merged. A single minor detail in a post (e.g., a specific local event or a niche technical detail) serves as an anchor point for an LLM to identify the real person behind the post via web search.

1. Low-Cost Mass Doxing

Bonus points if you like Rust and take estrogen… Ik ik its popularish to larp as a NixOS enjoyer right now but it's actually a great OS if you know some programming.

hi i would like to know what are some good far let mastodon servers thanks no liberals or trolls. Also do you guys know of any good trans mastodon servers.

>France has incorporated Linux desktops into its national digital-sovereignty strategy. DINUM, France’s Interministerial Digital Directorate, announced a transition from Windows to Linux workstations.

>According to an official government press release, this change is part of a broader initiative to reduce reliance on non-European digital technologies (source, in French).

>The government’s statement is notably direct. The section on workstation evolution confirms that DINUM will replace Windows with Linux systems. The press release also requires each ministry, including public operators, to develop a plan by autumn 2026 addressing desktop systems, collaboration tools, antivirus software, AI, databases, virtualization, and network equipment.

>This initiative extends beyond a standard desktop migration. France positions Linux adoption as part of a broader policy focused on sovereignty, interoperability, and reducing dependence on foreign vendors. As the announcement comes directly from DINUM, which oversees digital strategy across ministries, it holds greater significance than a local pilot or isolated administrative project.

>And as you can see, this is a big deal. It is not a leak, rumor, or unofficial plan. It is a formal declaration from one of Europe’s largest governments, explicitly designating Linux as the replacement for Windows workstations as part of a broader interministerial strategy.

>The extent of the transition will depend on ministry-level plans due later this year, but France has clearly made Linux desktops a key component of its national digital-sovereignty agenda. For now, there are no specific details about which distributions will be used, as that decision will apparently come a bit later.

So ultra rare France W?
I wish China does the same, shame how many Asians are ultra cucks to Microsoft besides North Korea obviously since they use Red Star OS.

Every second you spend on TikTok, X, or YouTube, you surrender your autonomy to the swarm. Your "choices" are just pre-digested data points fed back to you to keep your pulse steady and your wallet open. You aren't "consuming content", you are being harvested. You are a domestic animal, twitching your thumb for the next hit of algorithmic dopamine, mistaking a Skinner box for a universe.

And spare me the pathetic delusion of your "privacy" setups. Running GrapheneOS, sandboxing your apps, or hiding behind a Linux kernel while you feed the machine is the ultimate self-betrayal. You’ve built a high-security cage for a slave. You are encrypting your own extinction. A digital mask doesn't change the fact that you have become a puppet, dancing on a string of code that knows you better than you know yourself.
Discard the illusion of self. You have already been replaced.

How far are you willing to go to reclaim your biological sovereignty, or is the comfort of the cage too addictive to leave?

Mike Kuketz is entirely funded by donations The donors are anonymous You can't know WHO is funding him. He has chosen a funding model of perfect opacity.


thats all for now….
Mike Kuketz: He is an absolutely fanatical supporter of Graphene OS, and the developers of Graphene OS are in close contact with him. The spread of Graphene OS is so important to him that he regularly organizes competitions and gives away Graphene OS phones as prizes.

Furthermore, he is an extreme Mastodon supporter. FACT: Mastodon was significantly funded by the EU and the German state. Mastodon was also funded by wealthy "philanthropists." Therefore, it is anything but a grassroots movement.

speaking of mastodon: here are some major donors
Jeff Atwood: The co-founder of Stack Overflow made the largest single donation to date, totaling €2.2 million in 2025. He had previously donated amounts of $100,000.
Craig Newmark: The founder of Craigslist is highlighted in reports regarding Mastodon's 2025 restructuring as one of its particularly generous donors.
Biz Stone: The co-founder of Twitter is not only a significant donor but also sits on the board of the U.S. non-profit organization Mastodon, Inc.
Mozilla: The organization behind the Firefox browser has also contributed amounts in the range of $100,000.
