@nitrofurano Ha ha I wish. This was just from disabling Windows services on my friend's laptop. I don't think they're ready to migrate to a Linux distro yet, but I'm easing them into the idea :P
Managed to remove about 5-6 gigs of RAM usage and 15% CPU usage by disabling the AI stuff, One Drive, and random Dell/Adobe crapware.
@makeworld Oh sweet. I'll see about using this on the next round :o

Too many smart home devices insist on having lit displays when some kind of reflective LCD or e-ink display would almost always provide a better experience at a lower power consumption.
Maybe I'm just very particular about home lighting but if I do want to see values on the sensor hardware itself, I probably do not want it to light up in the dark and I also probably want to be able to read it from a slight distance without having to get up and push a button.
New Blog post: I go over decentralized social media protocols like #nostr #ATProtocol and #ActivityPub and compare the tradeoffs between them.
Apparently minecraft isn't great for making use of multi threading. IMO there's an algo somewhere in there to find gaps between players and to run their simulations separately from each other and merge zones onto single threads as needed (Say within 5 chunks of each others simulation distance)

You are regularly being scanned like this without knowing it.
"This photo was taken with a camera modified with a filter to capture the infrared light emitted by a face recognition camera. I had to shoot the subject in total darkness in order to cut out visible light and allow the camera to pick up on the infrared beams of a face recognition camera."
@cryptix.pizza That's good to know. Might try this to reinstall on my box in the closet. Sadly this request is going to be for a consumer laptop which can't be reinstalled. 😅
Gonna try this to de-crap my friend's laptop.
Anyone got an updated guide on removing all the AI crapware from default Windows?
I need the new steam controller and vr headset to come out already 😭
@ticky More like gabberena, amirite? https://m.soundcloud.com/goreshit/hey-gabberena-hardcore

Sometimes in order to set up a computer you need a second computer that has working wifi already
Had a really great day off. Managed to be productive by some metrics but also relaxed a lot.

Bitlocker is a Microsoft product that encrypts your laptop hard drive etc. Apparently, Microsoft exfiltrates a recovery key for your Bitlocker encryption and stores it in their cloud, they give it out to law enforcement at request. And of course, they give it out to whoever compromises their system and steals that info. Bitlocker is completely worthless trash. Do not rely on it for information security.

TIL Inkscape has built-in zine templates! You can design the individual pages and then it lays out the print layout automatically. Neat!
