Nature gives no fucks

Sandman was the art I recognized, read it, take it upon you. The Lucifer show is derivative, and fun, highly recommend.

Wow, that was a screed, (a worthy one) and yeah, an engineering degree should be special IMO, as perhaps a (pure) Math one. should also be. We have a tendency to regard you lesser, in self defense, but that professional responsibility is significant, a more elegant weapon from a more civilized age. I do apologize, the steam age thing was out of line (but meant with heart, trains rock, and IMO is where ‘engineering’ started) has it’s roots.

Stargate, the last chance to use the original showrunners just burned, Oh well.

Anime, I’m a boring Cowboy Bebop person. Have I really been listening to the OST for 20 years?

Gaiman: Pretty obviously a POS , hard to reconcile, he made some art.

Pratchett: I actually miss him, of all the worlds, in many of the places, I remember your loss the keenest.

Turtles all the way down.

Dirk Gently’s God Yes, GITS: SAC also Yes,

Wilfred, fine I’ll look at it, but it seems like failure humour, not keen.

Nah, good engineers are retiring, bad engineers are running rampant. You give yourself away calling us engineers, we were never, except for some yearly title increase instead of money. Just programmers, and that is fine. Engineer is a whole other thing from the steam age, my BSc was in Math, worked fine to get me in.

We should seriously consider a right to destroy noise making crap in general. Currently listening to a 110Db mower, I should be allowed to go out and stomp it, except, maybe, on Sunday afternoons.

And no-one actually uses it. Well done them, rich without consequences, living the dream.

Piece of shit still gets to say ‘I was the first trillionaire’, likely the big thing for him.

Yup, cause implies mechanism, of which there is very little here, seems a lot more like correlation. Also, it’s Harvard nutrition public health, which is, problematic.

Agreed.

Hmm, you suggesting KDE and Gnome (and other DEs) are religions, or espoused with religious fervor? Might be something to that, but likely not what OP wants.

I’ve already got LDAC on mine anyway, and have devices that can use it.

Looks interesting, and I thought KDE when? But, of course, it’s already there as Karousel. On the list of things to audit when I feel like futzing with UI again.

Impossible, no, the app is optional, car still drives, just not sucking data for VW (or not if you disable its network in gOS). It is however grounds for a lawsuit seeing as they’re arbitrarily removing functionality that was likely advertised. Yoti is UK specific I believe, and those companies are little loss anyway, more of a prompt to divest. It’s an unhealthy pattern, sure, but the sky is not falling.

The cultural effect of Android requiring developer registration and otherwise trying to kill third party stores like F-Droid, to get their precious walled garden, is a much more significant threat.

“Those who would trade liberty for security, deserve neither and will lose both” - KMFDM, Shake the Cage, by way of Ben Franklin.

Privacy is a liberty.

That’s fair. Guess I should have a look, might be a recommendation to someone. Initial impressions are quite positive, I mean I’ll stick with Immich, still…

Don’t know Ente, but the GrapheneOS gallery works fine for basics, and pop Immich on Mint for the rest of google photos functionality. I’ll suggest Bazzite for the distro, especially if they game or are likely to break things.

I was thinking just patch it out entirely, then you have no need to maintain a fork, just a script. Yours sounds fun too, but it’s not like it’s actually connected to anything at this stage, worth keeping in mind if it ever does become something.

FFS, just make a patch.
