I have a very difficult time imagining an internet that is both interoperable and ranking-free. Now, that having been said, we are well outside my area of expertise here so I'd love to hear from folks who know more than me.

@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

That could work, I suppose, but I do wonder how much it would slow everything down.

And stolt!

It's a drop in a very large bucket that will never be filled, by design.

MHSJenkins OP ,

As the FedGov always does!

I hope you're right, sincerely.

Cody Doctorow wrote a short story about a group of newbie hackers doing just that.

Are you looking to give the workshop or attend it?

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

I really appreciate you getting in touch and offering those clarifications. Thank you!

And it's only gonna get worse from here.

I've been using Thunderbird for years and it's great as an Outlook substitute.

@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

Ah-hem: https://reactos.org/

I'm still learning how to use this but let me know what you think.

MHSJenkins OP ,

I gotta admit you had me in the first half . . .

Enshittification comes for all things eventually. "You'll own nothing and like it."

I hope so, sincerely hope so.

I am an apostle of Saint Penguin.

My Sibling in Christ, giving us less for our money and giving them more control over our lives is the intent of all of this. Time to seize the means of computation.

Mint's Nvidia support has gotten A LOT better over the last few years. You can try it out and see how it goes. Message me if you want help with that.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

If you have a desktop maybe install a second drive, install Ubuntu on that, and see how it goes?

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

It does in that it's easy to do and it's easy to remove or switch to entirely. Partitioning is easy in its own way, but it does divide up your drive.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

. . . unless you want to pay a nominal monthly fee.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

You. I like you. We can be friends.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

Get in touch if you want and I'll do what I can to help.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

Personally I've never used PopOS so I can't speak to it.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

Awesome. Hello Friend!

MHSJenkins OP ,

Granted I'm not a gamer but my Linux multi-OS desktop machine has zero problems with its nVidia GPU. YMMV, as we used to say.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

I'm naive enough to think it would happen faster if there were more market demand, but that's likely my 1990s programming failing to adjust to the 21st century.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

I'm anticipating that an ad-free version will be made available on educational or commercial licenses--or to home users for a nominal monthly fee. This mirrors the model used by Hulu, Prime, et al so there's a roadmap in place for it.

I'm with you re: FOSS OS migration. Some folks will but the majority will stick with Windows because that's what they do. It amazes me how many people think that Windows and MacOS are the only possible choices.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

This is my assumption, and there's a roadmap in place already.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

How are you? :)

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

I mean, this particular cyberpunk dystopia isn't what I had hoped for . . .

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

When you frame it that way, I start to think yours is the more likely prediction.

MHSJenkins ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

I'm not sure if this is just a sign of the times for Meta or a comment on Big Tech as a whole.

Given how FB's algorithm stacks their feed and hides real information, that's not surprising.

Microsoft is testing Game Pass ads on the Windows 11 Settings homepage (www.ghacks.net)

Microsoft's announcement: "We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC. As a reminder – the Settings homepage will be shown only on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 and...

Now's a great time for us all to switch to an open source solution. I suggest Linux Mint or Ubuntu.

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

That's interesting to the point of bizarre. Thank you!

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

Oh look! Amiga's still alive! Awesome, thank you!

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

That's intriguing, thanks for letting me know!

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

. . . could you possibly unpresent it? I kid, I kid--this looks insane and I love it. Thank you!

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

Now that's an engaging option. Thank you!

MHSJenkins OP ,
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

Either way, just looking for something interesting to play with.

I'm beginning to come around to anarchism, got any reading suggestions?

I'm digging anarchists' more hands on, pragmatic approach to politics. I finished The Conquest of Bread a couple of weeks ago and I'm currently working my way through Bullshit Jobs. Any suggestions about theory, praxis, mutual aid, etc. would be appreciated
