I just realized it's been over a decade since I last answered a tech support phone call about dial-up Internet problems.

Every time it rained, whole communities would be either unable to get above 14.4 Kbps or dial in at all until the telco lines and boxes dried. Many of those support calls came over phone lines that hummed and crackled as loud as the callers' voices. More than once the interference was so bad I had to fall back to radio procedure in order to give support.

A great article on Microsoft's shady GDID, a device fingerprint snuck into Windows 11 that can and has already been used to track with precision, activity reports sent back to the mothership indefinitely.

Extinguish.

uBO on Vivaldi will soon be no longer.

The longer folks rely on chromium browsers, the longer big tech gets away with it.

Another tech company trying to convince you that you don't have a choice.

@mavica_again That's a terrible shame. The archived snapshots really are better.

Mueslix sounds like it should be the name of a Linux distro made of a lightly processed and loosely mixed collection of software components.

Before the advent of TCP (Transfem Communication Protocol), infodump data was often relayed by GGCP (Girl to Girl Copy) via PPP (Puppy to Puppy Protocol) links.

@sys64738 Probably not as insurmountable as dressing up as an AI datacenter's contractor electricians, hired for the covert job by the datacenter's AI itself. :3c

@sys64738 That's a good point. Surely it'll have enough propellant onboard for a deorbit onto the roof of a billionaire's mansion.

@sys64738 That's depressingly more power than I was expecting.

And it seems all of the "some random asshole"s in the world have decided it's better to add shitty satellites than subtract any.
