Is there a political movement targeting Debian and Wikipedia?

They are using your data to build profiles on everyone, train their AIs, helping the government spy on you, and god knows what else. Your right, it’s not fun that we have to worry about this but that’s not my fault.

I know how that feels. Hate my job but they love me and I’ve been promoted way above my credentials so can’t find anything that pays nearly as well.

No, but I have been in the past. It was worth it to leave.

why are you complaining about this feature that only exists does people who do?

To wake others up to the fact that it’s not a good service to use and to the fact that maybe the people in the pictures they are uploading also don’t want to have their image handed over to all these corporations. Have you ever asked the people in your pictures about this? I don’t even let anyone take my picture anymore because everyone and their grandma has been ignoring my wishes about that since fucking myspace.

So you want it to be done locally against photos that are stored in the cloud?

I don’t want my photos in the cloud period.

This only happens for photos that you upload to onedrive. Why or how would it happen “locally”?

Have the software run on the PC or a server that you own.

You said “a bunch of asshole corporations databases” - who are the “bunch of corporations”? Microsoft is only 1 corporation.

Any corporation that lets you upload photos. Onedrive, google, facebook, whoever. They’re all abusing your data.

When you put your photos (or anything else) on onedrive they go to Microsoft’s servers. Microsoft now has your photos. That is how this works. They aren’t pushing so hard to coerce Windows users into using it for benevolent reasons.

Do you not understand how cloud services work?

Only if it can be done locally. I don’t want my fucking face going out to a bunch of asshole corporations databases any more than absolutely necessary. Shit like this is why I don’t let people take my picture.

I’ve been hooked on Factorio lately. I think it’s helping with some of the decision paralysis shit I’ve been dealing with at work.

Already can’t find a phone with the hardware I want. Might as well get an iphone since I won’t be able to do half the shit I want to either way.

It’s so annoying. I am constantly catching myself replaying conversations from decades ago that have no relevance to my current life. Just getting myself all pissed off for no reason.

You can wake up with that feeling of “what year is it” and it’s amazing.

I can do that after a 20 minute nap.

My noise cancelling headphones do a good job of blocking all the random building and electronic noises. They don’t work on voices though. Which would be nice…

I literally spent like 12 hours this week figuring out how to do trains in factorio. Good times.

I like x4. It’s kind of like Elite Dangerous but the flight mechanics are a little easier and you can command much larger ships and hire NPC pilots and build fleets.

No, it’s going to be bad in really stupid ways that aren’t as cool as what happens when it goes bad in the movies.

No, but it looks like it could be worth a try. Although I do see that it doesn’t currently support GPU passthrough.

Yeah, I use Krita for drawing so I’m not so worried about (assuming my tablet works) I do have FreeCAD installed and have played with it a little but it was a pretty rocky start that left me not super confident that I’ll be able to rely on it.

Theres also the issue that working off just the laptop is annoying so I’m looking to see if theres a KVM switch/Dock that will let me use my periphreals with the laptop without having to unplug all my shit. Haven’t messed with hardware like that in a long time though so I’m not sure what’s what.

CAD for 3d printing/woodworking

Drawing

Managing my media server and putting together playlists/reading lists.

Various little coding things to help with workflows on different things.

I’ve been playing around with Bazzite which seems to be pretty good so far but I have a list of things still I need to figure out how to do on it. Also for the record I’ve been running a headless debian server for my media for years without much issue so I’m not clueless about Linux but that isn’t as involved as using it for a desktop.
