@thenewoil On your blog post:

1) Why is `?pk_campaign=rss-feed` is suffixed to the post's URL when I use my RSS reader (Newsboat, but maybe others too)? I haven't seen this before.

2) In the paragraph about the PineTime watch, it says "weirdly not content" when I think it should say "weirdly not *with* content".

3) Do you know if DivestOS (https://divestos.org/) is available for your LineageOS device? It's a soft fork of LineageOS with some security improvements.

@thenewoil Is it possible for readers of The New Oil blog (on write[.]as) to submit typo corrections via your GitLab (https://gitlab.com/thenewoil)?

I couldn't find the blog entries anywhere on GitLab.

How did you find me down here?

It doesn't matter, since you're probably thinking about how I shouldn't be wasting my time, and you'd be correct.

"We have enormous freedom. That’s not a gift that was given to us, it’s a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle. By centuries of people that most of whose names are completely forgotten, the ones who created the freedom and the rights we now have, and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them."

For those of you who suffer from the crippling disease of detrimental perfectionism, here's a word of advice: "Perfection is the enemy of good."

Moral of this segment: be aware of the intent of presenting yourself. Are you entertaining a comedy crowd? Because presenting for an academic audience should never be mixed up with an adience for comedy entertainment...

I keep seeing a lot of apologies for not being interesting or funny or positive, and I just wanna say:

You are a person, not a brand. You do not need to be consistently anything but yourself. If you need to take a break, that's OK. We're all people, we'll understand.
