He's doing it almost daily so it's easy to get inured, but (taps sign) dehumanization is a classic hallmark of pre-genocidal rhetoric. Every alarm bell should go off every time Trump or anyone else says this.

Just switched from iPhone to GrapheneOS. The UX isn't as nice but I get real Firefox with real uBlock Origin. How nice it is.

KDE’s plasma6 is working great on nixOS. It even defaulted to the best fractional scaling for my display (150%)!

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Recently got a Framework 13 AMD and love it. Great support for NixOS, the fingerprint reader works and WiFi is rock solid. Love the keyboard. Battery life is better than my X1, and speakers sound great with EasyEffects.
