uspol rant
I'm already sick of my taxes going to putting OTHER people in camps and I dread the day my taxes get used to put ME in a camp, because I know damn well when it happens the 75% of the country left of 45 won't be able to do anything because we're TRYING TO FUCKING SURVIVE, and of course right wingers will have perfect excuses for why it was a great move.
Hell of a time to try learning how to be a better artist, or figure out personal issues or anything else related to being human.

Look, we could riot in the streets, which would harm lots of us and might not do anything. We could do what we're doing now, legally permitted action and trying to just LIVE, and it'd up our temporary physical and emotional survival but have long term costs.
Because part of being abused by a narcissist is, anything that happens proves the narcissist right and justifies doing whatever it wanted to do anyway. ANYTHING.

pol, ICE, tech / microsoft
if you work at microsoft, or at any company that serves ICE or any agency that assists them, give your bosses hell for it. publicize the contracts. demand answers. agitate! organize!
if you have ever dragged IBM for helping nazis organize concentration camps, recognize ICE's camps for what they are and hold collaborators to account! ✊ 🔥

uspol, ms workers call out ms collaboration with ice
> In an open letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella sent today, employees demanded that the company cancel its $19.4 million contract with ICE and instate a policy against working with clients who violate international human rights law.
echoes of google workers and project maven. there must be consequences for fascists and collaborators!

trump is a symptom, not an anomaly. the US has a long and continuing history of slavery and genocide that it has never seriously confronted. it underpins our governing institutions, who love their power but hate thinking about how they got it. they have never put in the work to evict fascism. rather they have fostered it when useful and downplayed it when embarrassing. faced with their legacy in broad daylight, even the elected opposition cannot bring itself to oppose fascism.
Oh! Devuan is now at Version 2, and I didn't know it! This is going to take some time..
@Sangria A lot of people want Octolings. :P Maybe in the next game, they could be part of the Base game. Some..Cepholopod Federation?
Tech Babbling - X60s unbricking post-mortem
Now, I've looked into the possible causes, and I think I've found a trap for new users.
Under the "Console" section of the configuration menu, there is an option called "Use onboard VGA as primary video device". Make sure you tick it. If you don't, it could cause a semi-brick, so be careful!
This is who I'm talking about. I blame someone I met on FurryMUCK for that! :P
Tech Babbling - Coreboot X200 - Success! (+)
Yes! Working first time! Still a little rough around the edges, but it boots!
So..my machine, called "LEO" after the Saitama Seibu Lions mascot from Japan is now more secure!
Oh yeah, and this is the source I used:

I think it's the UK Equivelent to C-SPAN in the US.
I'm putting tech stuff in a CW, because for some people, it's about as intresting as BBC Parliment. :P
Tech Babbling - Coreboot X200
Well, I managed to unbrick someone's X60s, which was a pain that it needed full disassembly. On the plus side of that, I reinstalled a switch cover, so turning off radios on the laptop won't be a chore.
Now, I'm going to try to install git coreboot on my X200. It's not as bad, since the BIOS chip is easier to get to..100 times easier. So if I brick it, it's not too bad.
Well, I managed to unbrick someone's laptop. Turns out they installed a broken BIOS image.

I've never shared these before, but these are pictures that I commissoned a friend to do!

Oh..never mind! Turns out DNScrypt was going wonky. Huh.

A lot of instances seem to be going down, and I can't figure out why.

Elon Musk, Perscription Drug Use
Elon Musk has really gone off the rails. A big reason might be the mixing of Zolpidem and Alcohol. That might be the reason he's convinced that we're living in a simulation.
Hallucinations are a side effect of Zolpidem use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zolpidem
