I know exactly what you mean! I’ve been on i3 with every build at home for like a decade or something now and it’s easily the most productive environment I can be in. Rarely change things in my config between machines so I end up just slapping the same dotfiles in first thing and I feel like I’m home.
It’s the only real way to push back that other folks will notice if enough of us do it.
Last time I went through DC a few weeks ago they were using these. I saw a sign saying you’re welcome to opt out. Nobody even questioned what they were doing and were just going along. When it was my turn I politely said I’d rather not do the scan. Dude just glanced at my ID and waved me through. The next few folks behind me blinked and said they didn’t want the scan either. If enough people push back it can at least maybe slow down the normalization of constant surveillance.
My buddies and I have been enjoying VintageStory for a while now.
Yep! 1702 CRT monitor and a backup nearby too! I love SID music and grew up on all the games. 🤷♂️
Still have mine hooked up in my office for music and games!
I learned this one very early on in my career as a physical security engineer working with access control databases. You only do it to one customer ever. 🤷♂️
Literally the most realistic portrayal of life aboard an American boat.
