This piece of shit software continues to do whatever the fuck it wants no matter how you configure it and as you repeatedly, clearly instruct it to do something else.

But, by all means, use Linux for privacy.

Fucking over this shit.

I fucking hate you, NetworkManager.

Officially no longer feel even the slightest bit of sadness or guilt over my decision to move myself back away from Linux.

Using my computer is actually once again preferable to jumping headfirst into a volcano, and my blood pressure is about 3x lower whilst doing so, too. I have application firewalls and sandboxing and an antivirus and things that trustworthy desktop systems should actually have.

Enjoy your drama tearing each other apart like cartoonishly immature toddlers fighting over Wayland and Flatpak every other asinine thing that I'm so inexpressibly relieved I missed over this past month and a half. #sorrynotsorry

BSD: "netstat!"
Windows: "netstat!"
Linux: "oh, we threw netstat away. ss is the new hotness that's just like netstat, except it's not"

In response to my constant abject frustration with Linux desktop, combined with my severe deficit of spoons to fight for hours with my computer to accomplish even the simplest of tasks, I'll be switching back to macOS.

Can someone at #GNOME please make it so that if you don't have nautilus installed, xdg-desktop-portal just falls back to using the GTK file picker instead of just failing with no errors or log messages whatsoever to even be able to know what's broken?

I just spent 40 minutes figuring out why "Save file as..." and "Save image as..." wouldn't work in any web browser, only to discover that you HAVE to have nautilus installed now, whether you want it or not, to be able to use even other applications, starting with v47.

I do not want Nautilus on my machines. Further, I strongly dislike the new Nautilus file picker anyways.

You should be able to use an alternate file manager on your #Linux desktop if you want, without it breaking everything and still needing the one you hate and do not want installed on your computer. This is getting seriously absurd to the point where you are not allowed to change or customize anything or even use the applications you prefer. Seriously, wtf?

Treat all software like it's malware and you'll never be disappointed.

Apple may be a deranged cult but when you walk into an Apple store at least they're fucking nice to you.

Ok, for those of you who already know how to computer, here you go - this should be pretty damn good (pending a few additional things I'll be reviewing and potentially tweaking/adding).

Put these on your outbound and/or forward chains with reject or drop targets and enjoy not being able to reach Facebook/Meta properties.

I'll be publishing an actual script as well as all my notes and reference on these ranges, the netblock names, link to the SEC filings to confirm the names of their subsidiaries, so forth.
