A lot of people have followed me in the past month, so in 2 posts, here's a summary of what I think and why I'm here.
American society is increasingly dominated by the authoritarian left & authoritarian right. People communicate with insults instead of reasons. Many reject the value of open, vigorous debate.
I say that people should live together by reason and good will, not force & fear. I reject supernatural claims, group identity, and authority to command others as a basis for society. 1/2
Wow, Microsoft straight up pulled the Windows 11 beta that had Recall in it.
Were Googly-eyed fuckers desperate enough so they'd pay bloggers to promote WebPee? 🤔

With little resources they have, it's surprising that it has a semblance of something working.
Hardware support is severely lacking (namely USB is supported only for input devices, which might not be a bad thing 😏), but at least it seems to have true microkernel design.
One of the big-ass fans in my Mac Pro's case is making "funny" noises, I did vacuum it on the inside without putting too much effort into it, but it persists.
I can barely hear it during daytime or when the music is playing, but the noise is high-pitched and as it's in half-empty room, with all the reverberation it's very annoying. I hoped that it would just pass, but it didn't after three days — if anything, it only got worse. I don't want to disassemble the fucking thing 😩
Looks like Internet filtering was relaxed a bit for the weekend, I can even use OpenVPN over UDP without all the weird quirks.
There are also rumours that Instagram is accessible directly, but I'm too lazy to check — I'm not using direct connections for HTTP(S).
Is Internet censorship branch of KGB on vacation or did they decide to do this as a gift to us? 🤔
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
