Technical founder. Privacy capitalist. Small Al models. Local offline Al tools.

The guy who'll get you the useful next gen tech that no one else will make, like robots that won't spy on you.

Privacy is a luxury.

Sure!

Easy demand is not a conventional term, but, here, it means consumer interest is high and accessible -- relatively straightforward for producers to meet.

Supply encompasses every stage from making the product to managing it on the shelf spaces. One word representing the end-to-end processes.

You're actually great at engaging. I should take inspiration from you.

Right? Once the Freud contagion dissipates from the portion of society observable to me, I'll get to join you.

That's funny. lol

Prior to that, psychology focused more on scientific experimentation and empirical research. But ever since, the Freudian side has eclipsed the scientific side, because it's interesting to people.

A lot of psychologists don't care about science. They just like this imaginary version of psychology.

(Pardon the long responses.)

It's the Freudian lens that pathologized normal struggles and corrupted the field by shifting the focus to arbitrary constructs -- for a century. It resonates with people at a deeper level, speaking to their experiences of anxiety, desires, and hardship.

I'm not that interested in any of those business services.

The government can have it, as usual; however, they should address the technology's sub-100% accuracy rates.

So maybe our gov't agencies shouldn't be granted the power to use it for policing us until 100% accuracy has been achieved.

This is not saying that people who do have mental disorders don't have them, but that some people who don't have them identify as having them, often by self-diagnosis or by shady/underqualified diagnosis.

Pretty much, I strongly disagree with Freudian influence in the field of psychology. It shredded the field's credibility and its impact on society, where it was actually doing well without it.

Now, people who don't have mental disorders identify as having them (even by self-diagnosis).

No one has to influence anyone to purchase something or to change their personal routine or ideology in any way.

At large scales, many naturally purchase the things they prefer.

Selling what people already prefer should be part of the equation.

Let's observe a simpler part of the phenomenon:

There's a "10x engineer" classification. But why?

Because some engineers are "10 times" the engineer that the others are.

Similarly, there are very few in every other community that have the most amount of impact.

Note the point of observation.

Printers are freakin' frustrating.
November 18, 2025 at 6:26 AM
Windows 11 can't detect a printer to save its life over here. You've gotten far with it! Nice!

Thanks! I'll report on it, for sure.

I've "burnt the ships" already. So, there's only one way for it to go: well. lol

4/ I guarantee you that the best OS innovations will spark out of projects like ours, where there's a seasoned mentality of building for a fully private operating system. We will be different, and our tech will branch off.

3/ Also, many code libraries/packages and a privacy-centric mobile app framework will have to be developed for PureOS. This will make for a slow start, but it's entirely feasible.

In addition to that, the OS paradigm is changing drastically. So that will be interesting.

2/ Monetization is the elephant. The technical aspect of an app store is not a big hurdle. But the philosophy of Purism may make it feel like we're encroaching on something sacred (not sure yet). We'll do it, anyway. It'll be good for Purism, too. At least it'll be privacy-first, privacy-core.
November 17, 2025 at 6:03 PM
Can you put PureOS on it?

It opens up paths of least resistance for making peace with imperfect experiences; places blame on things outside one's control; and provides excuses for producing imperfect experiences for others.

Some make peace with suffering by identifying with it. Some are fascinated by such sets of traits.
