I absolutely wish more people realized this. My boomer parents have been using Linux for years, and they have never been IT pros or anything like that. They're doing it without my help too. Until recently I wasn't even sure which distro they were running.

So, TikTok is supposedly a national security threat from China, but it seems odd that there's been almost no mainstream press coverage of Trump dismantling the board investigating the Salt Typhoon hack which is an ACTUAL PROVEN hack from China & incredibly damaging. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/23/t...

I've toyed with #nixos in the past, and recently decided to give it a run on a more serious level. One thing I never resolved on my first time around was the best way to manage my #neovim config. I like LazyVim, but I'm also always working on my own as well. What are you all doing? nixvim?

Wrote a longish post explaining why Bluesky is enshittification-resistant (not enshittification-proof, mind you, but resistant). I expect some people to get mad about this, but for folks who are concerned/trying to understand... The key: it has a tech poison pill. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/21/t...

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

The House is about to vote on a bill that would give broad and easily abused new powers to the executive branch to allow the Secretary of Treasury to strip a U.S. nonprofit of its tax-exempt status. Tell Congress to vote NO on H.R. 9495.
