I really want one because I am tired of my lemon of a 2022 M2 MacBook Air and even more tired of paying money to a corporation that does basically everything in its power to remind me that I don’t own my own hardware. I had to have the goddamn logic board replaced on this thing, and Apple refused to let me retain the original part, even though the SSD chips were perfectly fine. I unknowingly botched my time machine backup and forewent the $100 bench backup, and now some five weeks worth of my data is gone forever because they wouldn’t let me keep the original part because “muh policy”.

The only thing stopping me from purchasing a Framework laptop is that the fan intake vents are on the bottom of the device, which makes using the laptop on my lap not very doable.

Also, I am pretty over aluminum as a material for devices that I have to touch with my skin for long periods of time. I would prefer carbon fiber.

The blood of the past and present will haunt us and our children for centuries to come.

Why, from the Crack Importation Agency, of course.

The MP4 does not concern itself with where it is, only with where it is going. It is a highly calibrated series of movement vectors with frame by frame calculations being rendered by highly sophisticated…

I too, hate myself.

When you practice the extreme empathy demanded by the universalist humanist ethos, lots of people see that as a personal attack.

Every time I see the flag of France, I am reminded of this TNG scene.

Mailfence and Protonmail.

Mailfence has shorter inactive account policies which result in account deletion, and its login sessions are terminated very quickly.

I have also experienced multiple mail receipt failures because of instable mail servers in their pool, but that was back in December, and never recurred.

I only use Mailfence for throwaway emails.

Was your cooperation rewarded in any way?

For the briefest of moments, I got to live in a land of pure imagination, where the nominee for Prez could have been anybody. Felt good.

Even tho I know they will 100% fuck it up on purpose.

What OS & browser are you using?

Can we get our bayonets now?

Taytay location probability score.

Are deers our derpy animal comrades? I thought it was cats. Is this why pigs like to snipe deer on the weekends?

I did see a nice YouTube post from an artist recently about how a lot of artists in America also seem to have perhaps bought into the myth that they must work, develop, and improve themselves alone. The poster insisted that this concept of the lone artist rising from nowhere to success was a myth spread by those wishing to isolate artists on purpose, and that artists should do the exact opposite to as extreme an extent as their capacity for being around others would permit.

It’s hard, tho, I get it. As a technologically oriented creative, I am also extremely introverted. But I know for a fact that avoiding collaboration has stunted my artistic growth.
