Hi I'm Tim.

I'm AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • “NFL” Shooting Wasn’t Random

    Jump

  • If suffering from CTE it doesn't seem that wild that his plan did not go according to plan, the guy essentially had dementia.

  • Google is making it easier to hide sensitive files in your Pixel's Private Space

    Jump

  • You could already do this for years through the "Files" app, just select the file/files and under the 3 dots "send to safe folder". And it gets encrypted with a key on your device and if it corrupts or you try to open them on a new phone they wipe and are gone forever.

  • The worst mistake I could have possibly made with Linux...

    Jump

  • Ubuntu (and also Debian that it derives from) are always behind on the software release cycles and contain "stale" packages. This is desirable if you're running a server, but if you're wanting a modem day desktop experience a non-rolling release distro is just leaving performance/usability of your hardware on the table.

    Think of Ubuntu/Debian and all their derivatives as the Jitterbug of the phone industry. They work perfectly fine, but if you want a real phone you're probably going to be happier with an iPhone or Android phone just because they make use of newer technology and get updates constantly.

  • Trump said to warn Jewish donor that MAGA world ‘starting to hate Israel’

    Jump

  • His admin has been antisemitic from the start, they have been pro-Israel because his Christian base believe Israel will bring Armageddon, and his MAGA/Nazi base like that Netanyahu is an authoritarian.

  • Rising heat is causing students to underperform across the globe

    Jump

  • Obviously more testing is required! I used to walk to school up hill both ways and got the switch if I complained! Kids just don't want to learn anymore! /s

    Also I remember how much it sucked in a building w/out AC, so with these new spring/fall heat waves I'd be dead. Lucky in the US we have a party undoing education for the mid-class/poor so that only the rich that do fuck all will get an education. Part of their "keep the work force dumb and working" agenda.

  • Trump slams Canada's plan to recognize Palestinian state amid trade talks

    Jump

  • Trump just wants his "Trump Gaza Riviera" resort, and he's not going to get it if Israel actually stops killing/displacing the people that live there.

    Canada should call his bluff, and let him lose our top trade partner. If everyone had just come to a mutual agreement to call him on his shit either 1) he would have reversed and dropped this whole tarrif/trade nonsense by now OR 2) he would have absolutely cratered our economy and maybe even his base would see the light.

  • Can Visa and MasterCard be sued for this censorship debacle?

    Jump

  • Campaigns like this have always been effective. And this is what the Right does, they complain en masse about everything that offends their hypocritical views. They are the ones that believe 110% in "cancel culture", and then turn around and call the Left out when we block Nazis.

    Also, MC and Visa are well within their rights to tell groups like this to go pound rocks, but groups like this also know if they grind down resources they usually win. The only way to prevent it is to ban the protesting of corporations, but then when they do the bad shit they love to do we'll be without any recourse. It's a bit of a double-edge sword.

  • Can Visa and MasterCard be sued for this censorship debacle?

    Jump

  • So the part that I see repeatedly missed is that a "no porn think of the children" group out of AUS has been hammering these payment processors as part of a new campaign. It's not something Visa, or MasterCard just decided to take the "high ground" on, they have been hounded.

    So really if everyone wants erotic games back on Steam and other things affected by this group someone is going to need to create a counter campaign.

  • Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 User

    Jump

  • If you actually want to fuss with it you could always try some of the stuff from the Holy Wiki and see if it makes a difference. Sometimes it's just "gremlins" though.

    I ironically had a similar issue with moving to Wayland from X. I did everything I saw documented to make it work and it just either flat out didn't, or performance was ass. Then I think when I had read about Gnome's future plans to drop X I figured I needed to give it another go. In the end I'm not sure what made the difference (update/config/etc.), but I'm using Wayland now and performance seems the same/better and all is good. My install is also probably close to a decade old (or more - I have moved it between at least 3 disks) at this point so I also have cruft out the ass lol.

    Edit - Got curious and decided to look and this install is dated 2013-02-24, so longer than I thought.

  • Did Ghislaine Maxwell give up 100 names?

    Jump

  • Yeah, nothing screams shady or coverup looking like sending your previous personal attorney to "interrogate" the one person that could implicate or exonerate you. And then feed her 100 names (of likely political rivals) and continue to publicly float the idea that you have the power to pardon them, "just because".

    Edit - IANAL but I feel like the tactic is to make it impossible to use any further "testimony" from her after knowingly sending Trump's personal lawyer to feed her names. He's made it so now, no matter what she says, neither side will believe she is saying it of her own free will. The only way to believe anything she says would be to find it in her or Epstein's previous testimony.

  • Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 User

    Jump

  • I boot to login in probably under 5 seconds, so 30+ seconds seems like something is not configured correctly. And every Windows machine I've ever interacted with boots slow and updates even slower.

  • Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 User

    Jump

  • I feel like this is just like systemd, those that want to stick to the old ways are very vocal but are a very small minority.

    Edit - Sometimes I want to erase spell checks 1's and 0's.

  • Shocking Video Captures Calm Police Officers Handling Situation Nonviolently

    Jump

  • It makes it harder when you have people like Trump encouraging cops to be more violent.

    "When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’" he said.

    "When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head]," Trump continued, mimicking the motion. "Like, 'Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.' I said, 'You can take the hand away, OK?'

    "I have to tell you, you know, the laws are so horrendously stacked against us, because for years and years, they've been made to protect the criminal. Totally made to protect the criminal. Not the officers. You do something wrong, you're in more jeopardy than they are," he added.

    The bold section is just a super ironic "us" from the felon that calls everyone trying to hold him accountable, a "witch hunt".

  • With all these domains they are continuing to seize and then need to continue to renew, at what point does a bean counter tell them it's unsustainable? I also wonder how many sites just don't get renewed because they slipped through the cracks like certs sometimes do. I guess if you're a domain register this seems like a crazy inflated sales bubble that at some point is going to pop, and hopefully they have saved some of that revenue to ride out that lull.

    Edit - a word

  • We started a new privacy podcast.

    Jump

  • Cool idea and will check it out later. I also found a small grammatical error.

    While we try strive to make original content and refresh old topics, we can't cover everything, and we can't be everywhere.

    I assume you would want to strike "try", but I suppose you could strike "strive" instead.

    Edit - I made a word salad on a post about a grammatical error, go me!

  • Extreme Weather Events are the New Frontline of Online Climate Denial

    Jump

  • It's absolutely heartbreaking that someone could be such a monster and spend all their time on this rock just fucking over people and the planet, and make bank doing so!

  • Ex-officer sentenced to 33 months in prison in Breonna Taylor case

    Jump

  • No problem and 100% agreed. I think the judge also felt the same way.

    U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, in sentencing Hankison, said no prison time “is not appropriate” and would minimize the jury’s verdict from November. Jennings said she was “startled” there weren’t more people injured in the raid from Hankison’s blind shots.

  • Ex-officer sentenced to 33 months in prison in Breonna Taylor case

    Jump

  • This isn't the officer that shot/killed her, but the guy that fired 10x threw a window and glass door blindly into her apartment. Several of his rounds went through her walls and into the apartment next door.

    Trump's DOJ was trying to give him a day (time served).

  • Here’s why Target is ending its long-running ‘price matching’ policy this month

    Jump

  • Bowing to Trump's government DEI nonsense without even a little resistance seems to really be paying off for them.

    Also Target can get fucked.
