I’ve realised that I probably never liked the technology industry. What I liked was personal computing, in all its facets - creativity, scratching your own itches, sharing and collaborating on a small scale.

There was a time when the tech industry and the personal computing space were pushing in the same direction, but I realise now that that’s probably not been the case for a while. They’re now even directly sabotaging personal computing in favour of big tech (the RAM drought)

with the default settings, "clear", or the delete key, only makes a region transparent but doesn't delete the colour info. it can easily be retrieved

ways to fix this are:
1. uncheck "save colour values from transparent pixels" when exporting
2. put a fresh transparent layer underneath everything, its colour info (pure black) will be saved instead
3. just fill the area with a solid colour instead
3.1. or save as jpeg

"Does dropping (malicious) USB drives in parking lots and other places really work?"

297 samples were dropped, 290 got picked up. 135 people opened documents (HTML pinger), 54 flash drives got returned.

20% were opened within the first hour. In less than 5 hours half of the devices were used by someone.
