Expect photos, anecdotes and rants about living off-grid in the middle of nowhere, occasional motorcycle rides and software development mishaps.

Bad ideas are mine, but i refuse to constantly fix typos generated by stupid-glass keyboards.

Do you think it’s a bug or a feature that all those ID verification laws will have the side effect of walling poorer countries off from the internet?

A Libreboot contributor added ThinkPad X280 support to Libreboot a while ago, but I never got round to setting up mine until today. No idea wtf I did wrong when *I* tried adding it, but hey, it works.

Thank you "AlguienSasaki" for adding it, and thank you Johann C. Rode for porting this wonderful ThinkPad to coreboot!

You know what? I’ve had enough. Interactions on hover are fucked up. Being afraid to move my mouse is fucked up. Blocking content with stuff nobody asked for is fucked up. LET ME MOVE MY MOUSE WITHOUT FEAR!

If I’d want to see something I’ll click on it.

Have witnessed this sentiment on display for as long as I've been touching computers, and yet some wonder why these good for nothing idiot lusers use abominable slop machines instead of talking to a professional.
