I went back to work once (programming) after a couple of beers at the bar. Turns out not a job I can do while drinking.

F-Droid says this has "anti-features":

  • This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service
    • Tethered to commercial Jawg.io for map tiles
    • FOSS OpenStreetMap.org and Westnordost.de to get quests, upload data, etc.

What is that about and is it ok? Would my collected data be going to a non-free enterprise? How exactly is the data used, does it go back to openstreetmaps?

I had a touchscreen laptop for years and only used the screen if the touchpad was broken for some reason. a touchscreen is just not ergonomic in laptop form. the yoga-style screen should make it much more useful.

my use case would be for occasionally reading music on a music stand, and to run an audio mixer with a tablet style interface.

Maybe this explains why I can't stay interested in most netflix shows I try. Or, maybe they just suck.

I didn't have trouble paying attention during quality shows like Raised By Wolves or Scavengers Reign, but other shows that turn out to just be teen high school drama plus sci fi elements, or similarly predictable tropey fare, just leave me cold these days.

what's a rentry page

elect different lawmakers

Elect lawmakers that would pass single payer, like they have in europe. However, this is an unrealistic expectation in our modern political landscape. So we need to change the political landscape to make that possible.

  • find a way to dismantle the right wing propaganda machine, or make one as powerful but not a fountain of lies. Difficult since the right wing has the full support of the billionaire owned news media. They are pros who have studied pyops inside and out and excel at it.
  • join the democratic party and attempt to overthrow its pro-rich leadership. difficult. Is it really a democratically run institution?

create alternative orgs

create coops and/or nonprofits to provide better options than predatory insurance companies. maybe easier because its grassroots and small compared to changing our national leadership. There's a danger of genuinely helpful institutions being outlawed due to mainstream medical lobbying.

direct action

we've already seen how successful propaganda of the deed can be. but will it actually produce change, or just lead to repression? it has at least communicated the extent to which Americans are disgruntled - not just the deed itself, but the overwhelmingly positive reaction to it.

general strikes, boycotts, other demonstrations might be a possibility. you need an effective campaign to get people on the same page.

Those japanese pull saws are the bomb. So much easier than the traditional type of hand saw.

I was expecting him to violate the gag order in the hallway after court, but nothing yet. How long can he hold out before posting some stupid crap?
