Spend my day in Slackware Flatbrew, a one-off from my mate in Motown. Synced KDE dots, brew installs and installed flatpaks between Aurorix and Slackware, to achieve that at-home feeling, anywhere i go. It worked out great. Tomorrow it'll be Larry and dwm. Can't go wrong with that one either.

Just finished "Far Sector" written by N. K. Jemisin and illustrated by Jamal Campbell. I don't normally go for Marvel/DC comics stuff and this was a good reminder why. Jemisin's authorship was the draw for me here, as well as some curiosity about what I might be missing out on by avoiding the classic comics lineage. I won't go into too much detail about particulars, but suffice to say it ends up feeling to me line a very neoliberal story dressed up in a veneer of radicalism, which is not what I'd expected of Jemisin. Particularly in light of current events, the "good cops" aspects of the storyline ring truly hollow. There's still a lot of neat parts, but I guess I also wound up disappointed by the sci-fi aspects in a lot off ways. I truly think Jemisin is capable of better than this, based on her other (excellent) work.

I know mastodon is filling up with linux tinkerers , but I'm joining the 'I love Linux quire'. Bought a macbook air from 2015 just to play with. Put Pop_OS! on it and tinkered a bit to get wifi working. Now it starts faster than my new work computer (filled up with #microslop). So the old Apple guy run laps around the HP from 2025. Cosmic is great on a low specs laptop.

General query: are you anticipating the return of 1974 gas lines and perhaps even/odd gasoline filling days?
(I am.)
By-the-way, when that was happening I would go fill my car at midnight - a time when it was ambiguous whether the day was an even one or an odd one.

Stephen Miller is feeling powerful. He's out here claiming "might makes right" and saying the US can do anything.
Miller forgets that he's not the one with the power. The powerful guy repeats himself constantly, wanders off to look at his ballroom construction mid-speech, has fluid-filled ankles, and over-thinned blood. Miller forgets that the "powerful" never remain so for long and that "with great power, there must also be great responsibility."…

I would love it if we all took note of (and remembered) the following: the guy everyone knows is a sociopathic, purely self-interested, unrepentantly gleeful liar who is also visibly going through serious mental decline makes a long and incoherent speech without any indication that much of what he said is true in even the most cursory sense and traders say "yeah, good enough." Entrusting society's material future to the stock market is rational, ennit?

A reporter writes about a visit from the FBI in 2020, following his story about a hack, and the long-term personal impact, along with eroding press freedoms (Zack Whittaker/~this week in security~)

I"m currently thinking a bit how I want to organise my stuff.
I noticed that for a long time I only managed my calendar through the Nextcloud interface.
Which lead to the following questions.
- What if I would carry all my data with me?
- How much disk space would I need?
- Or what if I would go back to manually syncing things?
- How does #localfirst lo…
