I think she was trying to get a feel for

• whether the OTC incident was sufficiently resolved or left Outie Mark trying to make sense of loose ends (especially in connection with Gemma),
• whether or not the severance procedure was holding up (after she may have witnessed some disintegration symptoms while undercover or through surveillance), and possibly
• if Outie Mark was over his supposedly dead wife yet

Be careful with that stuff! I know somebody who contracted severe isomorphism

The way I understand it, ufw is a frontend for iptables. So no.

This is a helpful blogpost on disabling input devices in Wayland

Where indexing and searching mails is concerned, notmuch is the best I’ve seen. Do note that this is not an e-mail client, it only indexes, tags and searches (following the “UNIX philosophy” of doing one job well).

I personally use it with neomutt as a mail user agent, which is almost certainly not what you want. Notmuch supports other clients but they’re all pretty arcane.

So this is not a recommendation, just a glimpse into advanced e-mail setups I guess.

I’m super happy with the ThinkPad T-Series. Solid build quality, and the keyboard is magnitudes better than the MBP i had before.

zero joy from any character in any situation

No need for external programs:

for_window [class="^.*"] inhibit_idle fullscreen
for_window [app_id="^.*"] inhibit_idle fullscreen

Ah so that’s what they trained AI on

Yeah there was a probably a nicer way to do what they are doing

I understand the worry that this is coup

It’s a coup. They are currently rewriting the rules of how things are done.

The way things are going, the next “vote” you’ll get is to ratify the new and improved constitution. I’ve actually seen a couple of coups first hand, that’s usually how it goes.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s terrible that they were granted access to very sensitive information (government contracts, employee data, probably tax returns last I heard) with no oversight. That’s gone, no way back.

But make no mistake, this is not a heist. It’s a coup. They are seizing control of meta-infrastructures of the government: payroll, contracts, payments, communications, software. This is how you hold a country hostage.

Yeah that treeline is sus for the Himalayas

That’s not mt everest but the matterhorn, confirmed shitpost

From the article:

This would make DOGE a Presidential Records Act entity, meaning records it creates are not FOIAble until years after a president leaves office rather than a Federal Records Act entity, which would make its records FOIAble now.

Should really be prefaced by: Don’t bring your phone. Write the phone number you plan to call if arrested on your lower arm in sharpie. If for some reason you have to bring your phone, read the following.

Honestly, this authoritarian takeover of the US government is the biggest thing happening in most of our life times so far. Shocked that this is not dominating news all over the world. I’m not even American.
