@cypnk Ctrl key on the home row WHERE IT'S MEANT TO BE DAMNIT
I'll give you the Esc key placement though
@shekkiesqueaks also *pets*
@shekkiesqueaks basic idea is that your travel router connects to the hotel wifi, then you connect your stuff to the travel router
travel router has a vpn client on it that connects via the hotel wifi to your vpn server out in the internet somewhere
all the traffic it receives from your stuff it shoves through the vpn connection to the vpn server so all the hotel network sees is encrypted traffic
@codl there's still a leap between "they sell your info" to "HOLY SHIT THEY SELL YOUR INFO" that requires someone to think about it for a minute, which a lot of people don't
@Jo what they'd like people to think: "YOU CAN CLEAN A HAIRDRYER?! Why would anyone do that?"
@codl probably just the first time they've ever thought about it
@Jo no excuse, they just find it more profitable to have people buy new things when they break
@codl Cambridge Analytica stuff, people have found out that they're the product on facebook
@Jo I can get behind this, more things need to be easily repairable

@technomancergoddess I use MPD with NCMPCPP as a frontend, works nicely for me

30% joke, 70% serious, YES IT'S ABOUT ENGLISH
"Okay, fine, we'll form a consortium to try and sort this shit out"
"Japan what are those?"

"Right, so after eight hours of meetings about emoji can we finally talk about character sets? No? Damn it"
@squirrel always happy to help
@squirrel roasting has happened, but nobody has yet performed the coup de grâce

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social @sydneyfalk @dredmorbius @zatnosk @squirrel you could go and complain, just drive there in your coupé
@dredmorbius @zatnosk @squirrel possibly some gâteau instead
Either way, bon appétit
@squirrel @zatnosk @dredmorbius maybe you should take a break and go to a café and think about what you just said
Maybe have an éclair while you're there, you should find it on the à la carte menu
