My t490 in Fedora Gnome goes just fine. Similar load and launch speeds to the bloated win 11 Dell Latitudes we use at work with Core Ultra 7's. Something isn't right.

Corey Doctorow is a writer who does SciFi and tech/privacy activism. He works with/for the EFF, and he's anti AI, but in a fairly nuanced way. You'd have to read his stuff to get a sense of it. Very opinionated, very prolific. Fun to read.

I count it! I really like his book Enshittification. Bought a copy for my boss. Possible career limiting move. Shrug

I spotted a Doctorow reader in the wild!

I snapshot my machine, set it to go overnight, went to bed. Woke up, 24% done "Do you want to use the package maintainer's version?". Grr. Went smooth though.

What the hell was that, even?

I think they have cameras to track position in real space because these are virtual reality type glasses... Like, I thought XReal were for watching movies and stuff on planes, not for creeping. Am I wrong?

My gut reaction was to say, "What did we ever do to you?" But then I answered it myself. But still, I don't want rats. The whole "Rat-Free Alberta" thing is a bit of a myth. Saw one in North Calgary a few years ago.

Dinner hoes? Wow. My wife and I share finances, and have since way before we got married. She covers most of the groceries and stuff so I can still "gallantly" pay for any dinners out.

Imagine if ads were related to the content of the page? Like, if I look up a webpage about video games, and get ads for... Video Games? I made the mistake of looking up a particular eGPU a while ago, and now when I'm looking up kayaks online, I get ads for eGPUs.

Don't Be That Way
