Does anyone else periodically review their tech life, to see how much of their daily stuff they could, in theory, do with just a simple X11 window manager, a good terminal program, and TUI applications?

When all these people act like this Epstein Files problem is too big, and there's no way we could possibly round up, and prosecute all the people in them, remember, in the last year around 400,000 people have been arrested by ICE.
This isn't a Witch Hunt, it's a Rapist Hunt.
It's not because your agent can do something with 12 tool calls and 20k tokens that it should.
For example, #Obsidian CLI has a command called "orphans" that finds files with no incoming links.
Now your agent can get a deterministic answer in 1 millisecond instead of 4 minutes.
i absolutely hate how social media websites have all turned into magical mystery meat apps where if you click a button, half the page vanishes forever and you can't find it again

Why do I trudge through hundreds of AI bullshit job postings to find the rare job that actually values skills only to be rejected by more AI bullshit hiring software without even talking to a person?
Fuck it. I can spend my time better and keep my skills sharp by writing and contributing to free, open source software.
I like solving problems well. You want to hire a remote developer to do real work? See my resume: https://www.vtrlx.ca/resume/

Human and sex trafficking are real problems but the US response has largely been to protect men like Epstein or Robert Kraft while prosecuting and making life more dangerous for sex workers.
It's also used to drum up support for racist closed borders and anti-immigration policies even though it's migrants, not US citizens, who are the most frequent victims and blocking asylum seekers puts them at heightened risk.

It's also used to drum up support for racist closed borders and anti-immigration policies even though it's migrants, not US citizens, who are the most frequent victims and blocking asylum seekers puts them at heightened risk.
And as I mentioned earlier, virtually every anti-trafficking initiative in the US has served to further enlarge police budgets, expand surveillance, and encourage lawless behavior on the part of various law enforcement groups.
since we're doing the "potential individual trans shooter = epidemic of transgender violence" discourse again, I will re-up this. while there is zero evidence for this correlation, when "rare" ppl engage in "rare" behaviors, we incorrectly presume there must be a connection
