it’s a shame that when scum fights scum there are so many innocent civilians who will suffer. there are no good guys in this. A little bully with rich parents picked a fight with a big bully and everything that can come out of this will suck.
Linux is made of death. It is The Death.
Israel fucking around has consequences?! THAT’S ANTISEMITISM!!!111!1!!1!11!!ONE!!
This is why compartmentalization and dissociation have become skills ._.
But some friends of mine have described it as a higher stakes form of LARPing.
Who you are at work is your character. Your character can believe things that you never would.
Such as, being a half-elf dual-class ranger/sorcerer and knowing how to fight with two swords while hurling magic missiles.
Alternatively, being a “libertarian conservative” who believes guns deserve more rights than people >_<
Other friends of mine in the furry fandom frame it like their various collections of furry critters – just another 'sona.
Not a fursona, but a WORK-SONA.
Close, but more like radioactive family.
The fact that we can choose to enhance the permissions beyond their default scope on a case by case basis is powerful.
… feels kinda like someone saying “period full stop”
it’s like they’re doing a mic drop >_>
“Come on over!”
“Come on WHAT? Over.”
Part of why i knew so-called “digital rights management” was fucking bullshit was because very little software ever came out that empowered me to manage MY OWN rights in the digital space.
I need there to be FOSS applications that allow me to root-level BLOCK applications from perceiving what I’m doing, to just fucking SANDBOX ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING BY DEFAULT and let me whitelist what specific things are allowed to directly access the hardware.
Sadly I am not as tech savvy as I used to think I was. I might’ve been technologically clever twenty years ago but I hadn’t managed to keep up… I think what I’ve described might be referred to as a “hypervisor”? And I’m told it’s an overbearing, clumsy, heavy-handed overkill measure that would be difficult to implement and make everything a pain in the ass to do. So … shit, man, I dunno… i’m just so damn tired of my hardware being bossed around by people I didn’t authorize.
… china is looking better and better all the time :\
here in the 'states, people always reflexively bark “but you can criticize the government here without being thrown in jail or executed” and yet that statement is becoming shakier and shakier by the DAY. The US government has detained and attempted to disappear legal residents for criticizing the regime, and It’s starting to look terrifyingly possible that they’ll soon do that to full-fledged CITIZENS TOO.
Man. We are fucking cooked.
