Fucking Google docs doesn't accept custom uri schemes in their hyperlinks

Does the MacBook just not have any sort of palm rejection?

Goddamnit this keyboard keeps switching to french!

Tooting from a MacBook today 😕

So I stopped writing on my blog for quite a while now and I think I should say why:

I got bored. I was writing for the sake of writing at that point and I was putting out things that just were not polished enough. I wasn't proud of what I was writing, I just didn't find any passion in what I was writing.

I wasn't getting the same enjoyment. Even though it was my opinion, it was forced.

I'll probably get back to it soon, but expect more creative writing instead of lots of opinion.

For those who believe there's nothing like the Intel ME on the Red side, you're sorely mistaken. In fact, we know even less about AMD's Intel ME counterpart called the Platform Security Processor. It's a separate ARM process running proprietary code.

Some of you idolize this guy and yeah, he's done some pretty fucking remarkable work. But some of the work is thanks to the attention he's garnered and some of that attention has been garnered thanks to comments and opinions like this.

I'm not okay with that and I think that we should not be hoisting this guy to the top as a "symbol" for Free Software. The idea is bigger than him.

"The reference reports the claim that Minsky had sex with one of Epstein’s harem…Let’s presume that was true (I see no reason to disbelieve it).

"We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing." - RMS in reference to the Epstein child sex trafficking case

RMS' "Pleasure" card. He describes it as a replacement for a business card. Fucking creepy.

"Rick Falkvinge joins me in demanding an end to the censorship of "child pornography", and points out that if in the US you observe the rape of a child, making a video or photo to use as evidence would subject you to a greater penalty than the rapist. "

Supply and demand folks.

"The nominee is quoted as saying that if the choice of a sexual partner were protected by the Constitution, 'prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia' also would be. He is probably mistaken, legally--but that is unfortunate. All of these acts should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness." - Richard Stallman

Did my first ever db migration today. It was nice :) makes me more confident to do so when the time comes to set up my wp install in docker so minimize vps expenses (it's on a separate vps rn)

The more information about the way that the new employer does things, processes, business practices, etc, the more excited I get. But I worry that it could be like a former job where they entice you with flashy things and then when you get to the down and dirty it's actually quite sleazy. But that's usually with sales/marketing oriented companies, not tech companies (at least not in the way I'm thinking)

This is mountains more information being given to me compared to the type of training I got through my former employer. It's crazy the difference between a large public organization and a smaller private one.
