I’m pretty sure I have an old raspberry pi watering my plant with a 5 year old OS. Never updated once, it’s not on the internet anyways.

Eh, no.

Then you want to create a future that does not serve you. If my family tries to sell me dishsoap, I will stop them. If someone wants to push AI ads, I will block them. There is no known mechanism they have to force me to watch ads.

And it’s not like they’re gonna stop them anyways.

If by normal you average, they don’t even really need 16gb.
Creative work can gobble up ram, heavy ass multitasking does as well.
So it’s more in the digitally productive professional or hobbyist cases where you need such amounts as a person.

For development high amounts of rams can be useful for all sorts of stuff, it’s not just compiling, but also testing, though 32 is often enough.

Oh, I wish that were true, but things are not this certain.

The future is no ads.

“Digital ownership must be respected.”
Yeah, that’s what this entire thing is about.

Coward. I always convince them to shoot themselves in the foot.

More seriously, I don’t think I will ever stop. It may not change their life significantly and immediately, but that’s not necessary. Even if it makes them just be aware, that’s enough sometimes to make a positive change. I’m all about that. The least we should do i lose hope. It’s not that black and white.

This is one of those that’s never getting internet access.

Pfew, close one.

Wait a minute.

Shit I forgot to install a firewall.

A single ssd with whatever formatting came with it, along with a webdav frontend I made myself. Very high security (confidentiality) actually, since I check for client side cert, user auth, biometrics (that’s plural), behavior recognition through a custom typing website and hardware token, but the integrity could use some help. And I’m painfully aware that someone could just steal my session.

I love security.
You’ll never get my duck nudes.

^{In reality I just had a fun night}

Well, he was probably “rich” in that he has acquired his own wealth, but I don’t think that’s what you mean.

Yeah, slightly charred.

And those mainframes once had my dick in it.

Well guess what. They say that cause they’re damn right.
