what masks would you recommend to someone that will attend a gathering during which he will be recorded from all angles? itt we discuss such things, potential ways to mask ourselves in a way that makes it as hard as possible for future algorithms to: a. reconstruct the face; and b. match the face with already existing databases.

bonus points if the mask allows the person to view clearly without exposing too much of the eye area

It says a lot about Trump if he surrounds himself with people like Zuckerberg. The lolberts who cheered for him becoming president are going to regret this soon, no matter how many SJW compilations it has produced.

>>28360
the market was being kept afloat at the end of trump's last term by tech companies, and this time around his biggest backers are tech hypebros like musk and now those who have jumped ship like gates/openai angling for $500 billion and zuckerberg.

he is being fed the narrative of AI is teh new nuclear tech and we need full govt backing to make america great again with AI tech over china and everyone else, and he is going to buy it wholesale and sell everything to the tech guys because that's what he likes to hear. captains of industry driving america to greatness just like the good old days.

Recommend me some tech/privacy youtubers/bloggers. I prefer unhinged people, who have extreme opinions on privacy. I enjoy the works of Rob Braxman, the hated one. But I want to see some very deep and dark tech thoughts. Thanks!

it was always the case
normies were told repeatedly to not put their personal shit online, not centralize around internet media run by corps, keep using decentralized protocols like email, self-hosted chat servers, etc instead of all signing up with facebook and google and they said we were being weird nerds. now they're crying about all their data being taken and sold back to them as ads and AI slop.
all of it is thoroughly deserved by every normie. they worked hard to willingly hand over all of there for a few clicks on heart icons. fuck them.

There's really not much to say/vlog about other than get off social media, encrypt your system and self-host where possible

Have we moved past the post-digital era of the internet? According to Cramer in 2013, "‘Post-digital’ thus refers to a state in which the disruption brought upon by digital information technology has already occurred. […] this technology is no longer perceived as disruptive." At the time of writing, in 2013, this seemed to be a realistic appraisal of the situation, as digital forms of communication (social media, internet news, Wikipedia, etc.) were viewed as a part of life. The post-digital was a rejection of the techno-optimism of Kurzweil and SV, opposing the techno-hegelian view that the digital era was a simple moment on the path to the idealized singularity. Post-digitalism was coined at a time when the internet had started to lose its own foggy idealism, and was understood as having been captured in large part by corporate and state interests. DIY communities and counter-cultural trends existed, but the term 'digital' was not a disruptive element at the macro scale of society.
It seems pertinent in 2025 to reassess the term, and the era that we find ourselves in. Has internet culture become uniquely disruptive again? Media institutions have largely acclimated themselves to digital existence after the sink-or-swim period of the 2010s. Social media is seamlessly integrated into the social fabric. Baby boomer policymakes int he EU and US ahve spent thousands of hours debating cryptocurrencies, cryptography, social media, etc.
I'd like to suggest that we find ourselves instead in an era *after* the post-digital era of the 2010s, which is far more in line with the original technic/cybernetic ideals of the 1950s and 1960s. The 2010s were rapid and choatic, as was expected, but after some shuffling around, the digital and analogue components of society can no longer be differentiated, except for on the superfluous technological and material levels. In fact, it could be argued that the entirety of the human experience has been captured by digital systems. I'm hesitant to claim this is a truly cybernetic society, but it does seems that in the imperial core, systems of control and capture have become fully digital, abstract, and everpresent. The I/O systems for the information feedback loop of a cybernetic apparatus have all been established. Should we rehabilitate the field of cybernetics to understand macro systems? Obviously there is a socialist root in classical cybernetics (Cybersyn, etc.), but it might be worthwhile to reappraise Big CompPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Ratpoison. It just works. I find having a prefix key (like in Tmux) helps remember keybindings for some reason. Manual tiling is also the best way to tile because everything works just like I want. Ratpoison gets bonus points for being extra lightweight and easy to configure! Are there any other similar window managers/wayland compositors? Cagebreak is missing some features that I need (I can't remember anymore what exactly, since I haven't used it much). I also like emacs a lot! Also, some terminal programs that are useful for scripts include ripgrep, fd, gnu parallel, aria2c

I also considered using Midnight Commander with libtrash alias (from Arch Linux wiki). It's a free software clone of Norton Commander.

>zzzFM
What does it have over SpaceFM I know SpaceFM hasn't been updated for half a decade now but it just works for the most part. That has a gtk2 build in the aur but it doesn't have non udev mount tools as additional dependencies like SpaceFM. Pmount only works sometimes on SpaceFM. There's another fork which is actually maintained called SpaceFM thermitegod but it fucked up the keybindings adding more key chords also mouse support was also fucked on the AUR build but I don't know if it's intentional cause it works on some parts and those key chords seem to point that is has a more "keyboard driven" interface. zzzFM also hasn't been updated for a few years it seems.

Recently my asshole father installed a bunch of cameras all over the house, after a sleepless night where he threatened to kick me out and accused me of stealing his iphone and razor. So it was either cameras or a homeless shelter. With how little privacy I have now (I used to cook food and talk to myself for hours in the kitchen, dont feel comfortable doing that anymore with big brother watching), this got me thinking about all of those unprotected security cameras that anyone can easily figure out the passwords to, and play creepy sounds/noise music to mess with people. I'm seriously considering doing this to scare the fuarrrk out of him nonstop so he'll return them.

Does anyone still dabble in this sport? I'm assuming the same methods of finding ip cameras still apply.

Uh you should probably get help from the authorities instead of trying to make the situation worst

Alot of parents want to put GPS trackers on their kids but then want to ban them from having social media accounts due to "privacy" concerns

so how did google just make a tld?
did they buy it or smth? does it relate to the dns somehow? im genuinely curious how the process for something like that would go and i thought i'd hit up you guys to see if there was any collective answer

>>27865
It's part of the gTLD new shit
They had to apply to ICANN iirc, and pay $185,000 registration fee and then they pay renewal fee every year.
Next round of applications is next year.

I think it's just the same process as others nTLDs like ".xyz", ".fun", etc
They just chose to not resell domains under their .google and don't make any profit from it.

Just wondering if you use any android app (preferably open-source) to browse on leftypol and/or getchan.

I heard about `Clover` but it seems dead for a while and kuroba only has support to nazi hellholes — as far as I know at least; is there a way to add another chan there btw? I've been wanting to lurk while at the college since there are a lot of libs and a few right wingers (almost nazi fucks) and I'm too lazy to try to engage in conversation. Anyway do you know an app?

Looks like we may get support from Chance soon, now that clover and kurobaex are dead

people need to shut the fuck up about gaming being 'easy' on linux. its not.

you cant play a game without installing like 3 billion random software or scripts, spending 6 hours reading poorly written documentation and blogs to try to figure out how to configure it all, only to find out that you still cant actually run the games you want. wanna install a fitgirl repack? "get fuarrrked!", says wine! "im gonna be impossible to understand and you wont be able to configure soykaf to get it working and we will never actually tell you how to fix anything that goes wrong!"
wanna play deus ex that you bought on gog? too bad! the game requires modifications to actually run properly, and you cant get it working either and good luck finding an answer to some generic error code, or even worse getting no message at all.

nothing works, nothing is explained well. all the software is like kicking dead whales down the beach. im probably gonna have to give up on games entirely with the exception of minecraft, because its the only game that actually seems to work without a bunch of effort that shouldnt be necessary to get something working.

It is easy when you got some more experience using Linux like LMDE or else.

As for installing Deus Ex via a GOG installer? Literally use the latest version of Wine Staging, and make sure you have winetricks to also install the necessary components, dlls and language fonts or whatever it is called.

You can first use wine staging to run the installer and install the game, where then you use steam proton's 9.0* stable and run the actual game itself.

>>27978
or if youwho? don't want wine to bloat the system I recommend using a vm

With windows 10/11/7 enterprise(best version) or any other gnu/linux distro with wine, just to avoid bloat

>>26745
>all the software is like kicking dead whales down the beach.
That proves that you have copy+paste'd the whole post from L*inchan…

Troubleshooting these things is more fun than most of the games.



 

This is the next installment of threads in my project log series since the imageboard was completed >>27187, and ran out of motivation for the calendar-based forum >>27553, leaving it as merely a (relatively complete) calendar. The idea this time around is to make something of a GNU Emacs replacement, but broken up into a number of tightly coupled smaller packages. Namely the approach is going to be "frames" over "windows" where windows are controlled by a programmable tiling window manager and run in Xephr for individuals who don't want to replace their window manager. Further there will be a command processor for mapping keybindings to functions and command names to functions. Next there will be a prompt package which will be responsible for prompting the user, more likely than not this will be either at the cursor position or in the center of the display. Lastly, the text editor itself will be responsible for very little beyond saving and reloading state, and rendering the text buffer; these two functionality will likely also be split into separate packages.

Presently, the implementation is in C, Xlib, Cairo, and Pango but is little more than a demo to edit and render text taken from various tutorials glued together only started yesterday afternoon. It is however already capable of indexing in text based on pointer events, so it seems the stack will be powerful enough to write the gui. Am likely to start with morphing the present program into the prompt package and once have the basics of the centered view created (this would be something akin to dmenu) am likely to begin rewriting in Common Lisp. Don't yet know how to handle the interprocess communication ideally it would be bidirectoinal and work well with programs not written in Common Lisp, though this latter point isn't the biggest priority. Getting the interprogram communication right is going to be critical for having the environment work well overall. Anyway that's all for now.

Would be kino to have a hotkey that toggles between the classic IDE mode of viewing your code, files, and console output, and only having your code

>>28079
I'm almost sure you can already achieve this with both neovim and emacs

>>28079
>>28080 is right. In emacs you can save the current layout to register n with C-x r w n, make the current window take over the entire screen with C-x 1 and reload the previous layout with C-x r j n.

>>28080
>>28082
They're not IDE's though. Emacs could qualify as one but i fucking hate it. Jetbrains 4 life
