@snowdusk Everyone needs a break once in a while. Make some time for yourself and do what you need to do. Then come back with a new perspective and energy! Time to dig through the archives and find the Best of Snowdusk.

@nikolal I use Timeshift, mostly in case of a hard drive failure. I also have my important docs saved externally. I did use the Timeshift backup once when I moved from a platter HDD to SSD.

Alexa, send a Wickr message for me.

Waking up at 1:12 AM, arm sore
Every single muscle wants to yawn
Nervous energy
Toe tapping from my head through my arms to my torso, legs and to my toes
A wiggling worm
Like every tendon listened to too much Tool
Echoes of dreams of recursion
Am I tripping?
Familiar sounds of snoring nearby
All seems right with the world
Turn onto the other arm, go to sleep

@nikolal Oh from your displayed name it looks like you have moved from Manjaro to Arch?

@nikolal When grocery shopping today the pharmacy announced they had leftover J&J to use up and were taking those without appointments, so I got one.

@Wetrix @nikolal Phizer and Modern are making profits on these vaccines at US $30 - $36 per dose. The executives and investors already have made billions. By comparison Johnson & Johnson and AZ are pricing theirs at cost, $10 and $4. Plus these latter two use well-known Adenovirus for delivery, not the new mRNA. I am looking to get J&J or AZ when available.

@nikolal Oh I missed this message, glad you made it out, hope your father is OK too.

@snowdusk wide-wave night was actually really entertaining. Thanks.

@PaulaToThePeople @e_mydata @eff /e/ calculates a privacy rating of apps on their own (I have asked for clarification about the details). /e/ is not a part of Google, they use LineageOS as a base for their operating system and try to remove as much reporting back to Google as possible in the /e/ OS.

@e_mydata @eff Can you explain more your privacy rating system? Apple shows what information is shared about you to the app in an easy to understand list. /e/ privacy rating is based on exodus-privacy reports which simply list trackers found and the raw permissions the app is requesting. This is difficult for the average user to translate into what data is accessible by the app. There is a privacy rating in the e app store but no breakdown how this is calculated.

@claudiom @snowdusk Oh man I realize now how many browsers have come and gone. It's like the guy who rattles off all the cars he's owned over the years. Let's see I think I used:
92- Mosiac (Mac)
95- Netscape (Mac)
96- IE (Windoze)
98- NetPositive (BeOS)
01- Opera (Mac)
04- Safari
08- Firefox (Mac)
16- Vivaldi (Mac/Linux)
18- Tor Browser
