I am listening to ufo/alien youtubes while I work, and by and large they are a total waste of mental space, there is nothing to be learned here

Somewhat off-topic so quote poasting, sorry.
This always brings to mind an observation from @thefinn that Americans seem unique in their interest in religious cults/fanaticism. I extended this, musing, that perhaps there is a genetic component to this since so much of our European stock left Europe due to extreme religious or political reasons (and of course the defeat of The South in the Civil War did not help). For as many times as I've posted on that it doesn't have a lot of appeal even here so perhaps I should rethink it.🤔

Anyway, it's worth remembering too that negro worship was in full swing here more than 100 years ago with BigAg pushing Mrs. Butterworth as the sales icon for food and George Washington Carver as the lawn jockey put up by Southern farmers to make peanut tariffs appealing.

@thecasualcritic @jon What is the problem with it?

I press my menu button, I type "wr" (the beginning of the word write) press enter, and then I write in something which looks 99% like microsoft word before they messed up the GUI with the strange "bar".

If people think this is too much, and if people refuse because the icons are not in the exact same position as in O365, again, people will _never move_ and they show they do not care after all.

Okay, #NetBSD on main computo, attempt no 2. I was able to get 1920x1080 resolution thanks to wsfb and gop. I need to accept that fetchmail is not going to work, but I would like to ask for your help.

(1) I am looking for GPU which will work out of box and give acceleration to web browser and tetris. I am going to review bsd-hardware.info and dmesgd.nycbug.org, but if someone is aware of good card I will happily take any advise. No new cards, no big power usage, HDMI. Currently I have RX550

(2) If anyone archives e-mails on own computo, could you share what software do you use for that?

A lot of people are moving away from Big Tech. Many more would like to do so, but they do not know that it is really easy to do so and that there are good options.

You do, given that you are here. Maybe time to help your friends?

Some good options, that I use myself :

OS : Linux.
Browser : Vivaldi.
Mail client : Vivaldi.
Calendar client : Vivaldi.
Mail Service : Proton, FastMail.
Social : Mastodon & Fediverse in general.
Office package : Libre Office.
Video conference : Whereby.

Feel free to suggest more options and share with your friends!

Microsoft deleted hacked account, user lost access to all of his games and content. Once again the large corporations do not give a shit about their customers. Just another reason to buy physical games and boycott digital only future.

"Entrenching a climate of surveillance across public life."

"People’s faces being scanned without consent and being added to lists is worrying enough, but the speed which Facewatch technology now makes it possible for someone to encounter the police force in the middle of their daily shop is a really dangerous escalation."

Vilket fantastiskt fiske de senaste 3 dagarna! Sutarna är på hugget. I förrgår, 1.3kg och blev en fantastisk middag.

Igår 1.1kg, och idag... 1.1, 1.5 och 2 kg! Det är nog en av de bästa dagarna jag haft vid min lilla sjö! 🍾
