Can't help but think of this book wrt your comment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust

Hey, when's the last time you showed remorse to your multi-trillion market cap employer? Next you're gonna tell me something really outrageous like you didn't even swear an oath of fealty to them.

The URL you shared has an unnecessary user tracker in it and can be shortened to https://www.threads.net/@wongmjane/post/DIFF_P3B9u2

You should just maintain awareness of how much you're using. I think 32gb ram + 32gb swap is ridiculous, frankly. Fedora by default sets zram up to 8gb, with no other swap space configured. Works very well that way.

Personally I'd also probably not ever set up more than 16gb of swap space. If I'm somehow hitting that limit it's because I actually just need to buy more RAM.

Thanks. I've never used or recommended Telegram since Signal appears to be the obvious answer, though at least unlike Signal they actually take ownership and publish their own app themselves to places like Flatpak and provide aarch64 builds. Been waiting for Signal to do this for... forever.

Sadly, for many, participation ends at the ballot box. I'm sorry to say that I was that way before, too.

At this rate it seems like I will also never be upgrading from the 1070. Miners, NFTs, supply chain, AI, tariffs... how is an honest guy supposed to just buy a decent GPU when squeezed between all that bs?

Pavel Durov doesn't live in Russia, so I don't see this insinuation has to do with anything.

I really began to understand MLK Jr's line "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" in the past few years. For every injustice allowed (in fact, oftentimes rooted for) we are saying that it will actually be OK to do that elsewhere. Eventually the justification will be OK.

In the USA we said surveillance was OK. Just use it to profile "terrorists" in the so-called war on terror. Use it to profile everyone who appears at the border. Use it to profile every Palestinian in Gaza. Use it to only profile gang members and "criminals." Use it to clandestinely surveil every phone call. Finally, stop pretending: use it to surveil everybody.

How many databases is my face in just because I flew back home from out of the country a few months ago?

This is the direct path from neoliberalism/conservatism to fascism that some of us have been warning about for decades.

Simply put, choosing the "lesser of two evils" over decades means you're sliding towards evil, regardless.
