When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Enjoying getting @photoprism.app set up on my home server. Next to plain file storage and backup, photos are the single largest set of data I have. Another great step for me in moving to a #selfhosted #personalcloud future!

"Mouse movement software" -- if one of my reports resorted to this, the first question I would ask myself is why I created the environment in which that is rational behavior. It's the environment that's interfering with productivity.
