Yeah! Me too.

I gave up after the first scroll.
blisstonia··on Where are you supposed to go if you don't care about growth?
This is a recurring theme. Someone comes to the realisation that the 'endless growth' model is an unfair way to organise civilisation.

It's heartwarming to see so many people come to the realisation that endless consumption/growth/production makes us miserable.

The issue is that we all exist under capitalism, unfortunately until it's gone, we're forced to live within it.

blisstonia··on Framework Laptop 13 gets ARM processor with 12 cores via upgrade kit
They probably gave up on their Snapdragon X efforts as Snapdragon X2 Elite was nipping at their heels and they'd have a redundant device by the time their efforts came to market.
blisstonia··on Online Safety Act – shutdowns and site blocks
Anyone know why news.ycombinator.com hasn't fallen foul of this legislation?
blisstonia··on Online Safety Act – shutdowns and site blocks
I hope any websites geoblocking UK ip addresses will leave some message about why they are blocking access, so the user sees it and hates it.
blisstonia··on Online Safety Act – shutdowns and site blocks
Lobsters hasn't been blocked here in the UK.
blisstonia··on Is the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS alien technology? [pdf]
Oh cool, a .PDF I can squint at.
blisstonia··on OpenWrt One
If you live in the UK and have recently got FTTP, this box is capable of giving you pretty much close to the ISP advertised speeds (with SQM enabled in OpenWRT). It should be good for symmetric gigabit connections, which is very cool!

Imagine running PiHole and WireGuard on your router… exceptional stuff.

Whatever you think of cryptocurrencies, the mystery is alluring and endlessly fascinating.
blisstonia··on Vanilla OS 2: an immutable distribution to run all software
I’m glad to see the author note that the installer is problematic - I think I’ve only had 1 seamless install in about a dozen attempts.

I filed a bug report to add a function to copy error messages from the installer - would be really helpful to file meaningful bugs reports

blisstonia··on Minimal Web
Yeah the headings being teeny weeny is jarring.
blisstonia··on Count Binface
On the ballots today, the best logo (read: branding) was that of Count Binface.
blisstonia··on Count Binface
Yes, unfortunately. In the past the London Mayoral and London Assembly votes were Proportional Representation — but that changed this year.

General Elections in the UK have always been FPTP.

Thanks!
blisstonia··on Scuttlebutt social network: a decentralised platform
It's a fair comment. The name isn't great.

Fortunately scuttlebutt is the protocol, which I guess is fine.

blisstonia··on Oink's Pink Palace
Here's the story about the novel:

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/nov/28/salinger-unpub...

Directly calls out WhatCD

blisstonia··on Oink's Pink Palace
Heh I know right? I think it freaked everyone out a little bit. Startled everyone as it had a whiff of LE…
blisstonia··on Oink's Pink Palace
WhatCD was pretty damn good, I'd say it rivalled Oink. Remember the bounty on that MSFT forensic tool? The copy of the unreleased JD Salinger novel? Both fulfilled...
blisstonia··on Oink's Pink Palace
Oh yeah!
