Fuck.
I forgot the 5th of November
Decided to do a clear glass back mod inspired by jerryrigeverything after shattering my original back of my oneplus 7 pro. Everything still works: NFC, flash, etc even after cutting some of the plastic shielding to get a look at the inside bits 😛

The shared pool area is closed due to COVID, which sucks. But I was thinking about ways I could chill butt naked on the pool patio and came up with this device called Raven. It's a fake crow with a Raspberry Pi, a camera module and a speaker inside. When it detects movement with OpenCV, it squawks to tell me to put a towel on. #tech4good #tech4butts

Seven years ago, as the news declared I was being charged as a criminal for speaking the truth, I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the NSA's activities as unlawful and in the same ruling credit me for exposing them.
And yet that day has arrived. https://t.co/FRdG2zUA4U
Patching machines that haven't been touched for months due to the pandemic < literally anything else 😩

Mozilla is laying off 250 employees (I believe that's about a quarter of their staff).
Their stated reason for laying off 250 employees is... to develop more Mozilla products. Typically you don't need to have less employees to build more products...
Newton's 3rd law of motion: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" | This is not even close to the reaction that needs to be felt due to hundreds of years of injustice. The universe will unfold as it should. Their voices will be heard. #blacklivesmatter
@lunduke I took your google trends concept and applied it for compare against search terms: Linux, Windows, Mac, Computer, and Phone - for worldwide since 2004. The only term seeing an increase is you guessed it, Phone. So no, Linux doesn't suck. Computers suck in general 🙂
