So folks have been installing and using my Tinker WriterDeck OS - my operating system that's just a word processor and nothing else.

Which blows my mind. It's always weird for people that you haven't met to use things that you throw out into the void.

So I'm working on some updates for version 1.1.

I'm learning to move bash and linux configurations from the userspace into the global space. Think that will make installation much easier.

Also working with some new linux installers that should make it easier to configure keyboards on installation as well as identifying battery percentage (right now battery lookup is hard coded, but that doesn't fit every laptop model obviously).

Going to preinstall as many text editors and terminal word processors as I can and allow the user to change those out a bit easier.

At some point in the future, I'll make a Graphical Edition but right now I'm focusing on this Terminal Edition.

All in all, I really think I can do this.

The first version works well enough. This next version should be much more "universal". Actively moving away from "it works on my box, trollolol".

Help request. My brother has Stage 4 colorectal cancer.

His life insurance has refused to pay out on a technicality, meaning he and his loved ones cannot afford the mortgage on their home.

I've never asked for anything in return for infosec stuff, but if you have anything spare, please chuck it this direction instead:

Y'all. It took less than 30 minutes from booting a machine with linux install pen to installing Diablo IV on that machine without any black magic. This is unbelievable. We really went far with the accessibility of linux based systems for mere mortals. This is absolutely awesome.

I feel so silly for postponing this attempt for so long.

Lesson learned: I need to erase memories of how bad it was to try run windows progs on linux even a few years ago.

Pop!_OS + Lutris, and D4 is installing. ON LINUX. Just. Like. That.

'Create as many nested folders here as you want to sort your files.' is a mood.

To derive pleasure from hatred is to revel in dishonor. A true warrior knows that hate is a source of misery, not of glee. Resist those who take delight in harming others, know hate when you see it, and may you forever feel the righteous joy of standing against it.

@SecurityWriter I personally try to inject cat memes into everyone's experience 💉

Giving Access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carried with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly.

We will vote.

I'm a Black American. No one ever "gave" us permission to vote. We took it, from the reluctant hands of racists, at great cost. We're not giving it back.

Every election, people try to take away our right to vote. Every. Single. Election. This is not new for us. What's new is that now they might try to do to white people what they always do to Black people.

Worry less about if we will have an election, and worry more about why white US voters chose this in the past, and will choose it again in the future.
