What are some privacy focused forms of entertainment?

A while ago I reached a point in my privacy journey where I simply felt bored. It's not a result of going too far in privacy, but simply my threat model has caused me to let go of a lot of things that used to entertain me (games, movie streaming, short form video, etc.) The entertainment landscape in privacy seems pretty bleak,...

Mouse support on Linux

I've been a happy user of an R.A.T. 4 which is quite an advanced mouse, for about 5 years. It worked fine on Linux too except for the sensitivity reduction push button (these existed back in the day) that needed special Windows only drivers. Unfortunately it broke down a few months ago so I had to switch to a 10+ years old...

Aria2 android app -- wtf is it? Docs are garbage

words-writ-in-starlight The most lingering comment I ever heard someone make about Millennials was an older man I was talking to about the way we think about finances - when he dreamed about being a millionaire as a young man, he talked about yachts and mansions and trips to the Bahamas; when I did, I talked about living debt-free and being able to buy dinner out without looking at my monthly budget. He heard me out, took me seriously. And at the end of it all, he nodded and looked at me and asked, "Do you know who you remind me of?" And I said no, no I didn't, and he nodded some more. "My mother. She grew up just before the Depression hit, and she saw people lose everything left and right. And whenever she talked about finances, she sounded just like you." He paused for a moment, and said, "I never really thought about what growing up like that would do to a generation." He still brings that conversation up, years later. He hasn't made a single derisive comment about Millennials since. Source: redcharade #capitalism
