WHY? You are insane! What if the technology itself makes it impossible to be not tracked 24/7 like cell phones? The cry for alternative is insane, the technology itself is wrong and can not be fixed.

Anything with a GSM modem is tracking you 24/7 and your geolocation to whoever controls the cell network. In 99% of all cases it means the government of the country you live in.
<Oh no it is not the government! It is the corporation who controls the cell towers
<Who are only 5 max in the country
<Who all can be compelled legally or extra legally to give up this data and given gag orders
<Or the government simply deciding to sit on cables that send their data and record that
<WEW glad I cleared that one up!
This is how GSM technology itself works.

I have a landline phone, not only is it less intrusive than a mobile it's also comfier, if not a little loud when it rings.
You can get an IP-telephony connection from certain ISPs. for me it costs an additional 40 SEK to my monthly broadband subscription plus a one-time purchase of a telephone router from them and telephones can be found for cheap in charity shops.
When I've been asked for my mobile number and I explain that I only have a landline I've been told that it must be relaxing not to have a mobile and it really is!
Other than telephony the only digital services I'm dependent on can be accessed with my puter.

Because Lenin is Jewish by descent, also of parents who were Orthodox Christians and therefore "cut."
To ask an uncut Lenin is to ask for both an unadultered Lenin and yet also a Lenin not true to himself in the physical sense.

Communist catgirl, /leftypol/ mascot

Now with two new scenarios!
1. Alunya found out you we're a racist nazi and kidnapped you. You wake up in her basement for nazi deprogramming.
2. Alunya Communism ASMR where she'll teach you about the wonders of Communism on her soft thighs.

they'll probably just build their own moon that costs like $50 and land on that

No it is not. I do not appreciate a global spyware network being build around every corner of my planet.

>Sattelite internet might be good too
NO! Anything internet is evil and wrong. This translates to more spyware around this planet (and why NSA and CIA are funding it I bet)
<No you do not understand we need you to use your cellphone 24/7 even if you are on top of a mountain or the middle of the ocean!
<WE simply need to be able to access your government tracking device (formally known as a cellphone) 24/7!

>your youth studying hard because you wanted to make a difference. You wanted to be part of advancing aerospace technology and help move humanity into the future

Why? What is so great about space? Are you going to discover that ancient alien pyramid in earth orbit one of these days? All you do is go to orbit and nothing more.

The global satellite network exists for only 1 reason SPYWARE! We literally have spyware cameras making photos of every corner of this planet all the time (this is why america lost its shit over sputnik ) We have GPS giving every shit electronic on this planet the capability to fart in your exact geolocation to every photo you take(thanks FBI!) and starlink shit to finally have internet based tracking in the most remote corners of this planet. Explain how any of this is good for 99.9999999% of the population?

I hope those espousing these sorts of opinions are pretty young and its legitimate ignorance. There are a lot of things that are downstream of the space program (not just the moon mind you, but things that came after including a lot of greater cooperation with the USSR in space etc) that have had untold scientific benefits. Sure, there was obviously a propagandist angle to the cold war space race, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't a lot of other stuff going on as well, many of those that impact your life today in beneficial ways because they were done by govt and not solely dependant on corporate profits in order to roll things out (Global positioning system for example, much like the Internet before it coming out of Arpanet; lots of technological development in big and expensive ways by govts are then utilized by academia and the public, and then corporate interests make use of it once things are set up). In any event, space exploration like many forms of frontier technological development can be done for many reasons, but it tends to have massive benefits from its progress, to say nothing for the potential to realign society's views. People may forget that much like how 60s and 70s counterculture even had their own developments echoed in space exploration where Carl Sagan and many others espoused a humanitarian target for the results of what we learned, which had a large impact not just in the famed Voyager probe "plates introducing humanity to the stars" and were partially responsible for the environmentalist interest in maintaining life together on this "pale blue dot" which is part of how all these global capitalist countries decided to ban CFCs immediately leading to the closing of the ozone layer, when previously CFCs were in everything from the freon in every car air conditioner to the big 80s hairspray. So yeah, many many downstream effects and far less than, in concept, a grift or vanity project or propaganda alone with no benefits.

I like your post.
I don't claim to know anything about the topic.
There might be an analogue in outreach.
Setting up collabs, and convos and that sort.
Probably difficult to find the right audience/creators.
Where you've got lots of potentially sympathetic actors.
Even I know some organizations make this their occupation.
And then there's the rest of us.
So there's real institutional pressure like you say.
I must touch grass…

Very important post the internet is slavery.

>In contrast, the material world has discovery built in. You pass a street protest, you hear their chants, you see their faces. You see some graffiti. You didn't search for it. The people who did tjat didn't have to pay Google for the privilege of being seen.

Not only this however the 90s internet and the 2000 internet almost vanished now with AI scanning your posts you can not even say wrong think the OWNERS of the PLATFORM dictate your post will be scanned and flagged before anyone can see it, same for every file etc. And you get shadow banned so you can scream into the void at this point.

The days of some dude posting whatever he likes on some forum to inform people are long over. The internet is a net negative technology and the ruling plutocrats love to pretend how it empowers peoeple.

What's the point of Omarchy in the first place?

It's another Arch-based distro, okay, but what's the use-case? People who need a solid battle-tested Linux environment either use Debian or Fedora based distros, and there is CachyOS if you want a more user-friendly Arch distro for gaming.
If you take, on the opposite side of the political spectrum, two projects like Rust (woke) and Urbit (chud), they have a purpose beyond the political baggage they carry, it's not just "I'm a Haskell-inspired programming language but woke/chud UwU pls adopt me".

I don't see the point of Omarchy. Distro-hopping is fun at first, but then things eventually break over time and in the end, most of us just want a solid computing environment to do our own shit with, like messing with GCC and Emacs or what have you. I'm not aware of any technical merit this project has over the existing infrastructure, unlike for example, Nix or Guix (which I don't use, but find interesting from afar).
For people who bitched a lot about how woke PR people pushed code of conducts onto open-source projects last decade, they seem to be as useless as them, just on the opposite side of the spectrum.

Here is your communism, bro. Jack Ma moved to Japan after this, because the CPC weren't taking his remarks on breaking labor laws too kindly.

Got the impression it was ricing "lets build it with LLM".
The technology - taken from elsewhere - isn't evil.
Biggest two risks, beyond the sign, of just this are:

1. Users stop thinking. (guaranteed)
   
2. Users are sold (out). (quite likely)
   

We can peal back the spectacle to look at the material.
Taking things just as they are is more direct, if subtler.
Everyone being able to make their own software is good.
Am probably going to rededicate the day to software methods.

Pretty funny considering China has capital controls.

>>34579
then why is a chinese corporation funding a fascist distro?

Gentoo can do it better

Rust has been impossible to avoid for a while now.
Mesa pulls it as a dependency.
So does every modern browser except like cog.
(If even that counts as a "modern browser")
I completely gave up avoiding it on my main machine.

For my personal projects I never saw the utility of uv.
Guess it fits the category of "rewrite it in Rust." projects.
But there was a time when I would have used it anyway.

Also might have learned my lesson from the recent Deno acquisition.
e.g. wouldn't write with MongoDB today.
Even though I'd like a JSON "ODM" with no translation layer.
Ideally written in javascript…

Fixed, guilty party was chromium, removed it and everything works again https://issues.chromium.org/issues/565132857

Am I wrong in wondering how the fuck a glaring bug like this gets pushed through? How did they not notice this? Is this because they just don't even bother anymore with snap?

Learned zswap and cgroups with memory caps can make even 4G "usable". You make a cgroup, can contain both torbrowser and firefox, then OOM killer just kicks in and crashes select tabs once you've exceeded your threshold e.g. max 2560M swap.max 0 restoring balance. Sounds bad, and it sort of is, but it's better than the machine freezing or slowing down, even with this NVME.

An old tutorial is available here, have to change a bunch of stuff to get it to work with cgroup v2:
https://gist.github.com/hrishikeshrt/dab05d42fc60144909cdbde2cc3f4d2c

/etc/cgroup/cgconfig.conf
```
group browsers {
perm {
task {
uid = jugaad;
gid = jugaad;
}
admin {
uid = jugaad;

>OOM killer just kicks in and crashes select tabs
Reducing the number of processes firefox spawns will further reduce its total memory and cpu time. You would only need to turn off overcommitment, so jemalloc can deliver a proper out of memory condition. You could also tune the memory limits in about:config or experiment with LD_PRELOADing mimalloc and tcmalloc.

>>34523
>memory.swap.max = "0G";
This was causing freezing and crashing…
Guess I'll just have to tolerate a slow browser for now…
At least the window manager still works.

>turn off overcommitment
Done

The suffering was never in the audio server. JACK on alsa plus realtime kernel was always amazing compared to windows. The moment you go for anything under wine whether it's plugins or DAW it's a bad time. The new pianoroll looks good in Ardour, but that wasn't there when I was shopping around for a DAW. I also prefer to have a grid sequencer for my drum machine as well.

Linux native but proprietary

It is amazing how the best softsynth in existence is free and Linux native/open source. You can do basically anything in it. I've actually been using it as basically a subtractive synth, and there are presets that emulate a bunch of historical synth sounds as well. Oh, and what's even more amazing is that the 2nd best softsynth in existence, Surge, is also free and Linux native. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/manual/

AI text detection has gotten much, much better. It's an arms race, but at the moment Pangram is so good at detecting AI text that if it flags something as AI it's basically certain that it is.

Somehow all of my search results turned to slopsites or silos.
Imagine you could only search blogs and universities.
If you needed to query a silo, you go to them directly.

Recently queried for a fairly obscure topic: "no-mind" and found an interesting page.
Something documenting Chinese philosophy of mind, or lack there of.
The central idea as I read was that heart-mind, and dao fail to distinguish either:

1. a duality between reason and affect/
   
2. a duality between social and personal.
   

Plus there were some later innovations.
