They're openly disdainful of all things Open Source and OSI, and their software is not Open Source.
They're a fully for-profit company using consumer rights kind of rhetoric to manipulate people in service to FUTO's own pocketbook. Don't fall for their use of the .org tld or promises to "never abuse customers".
I've writtenmanytimesabout what assholes FUTO is. I'm fully convinced they're way more part of the problem than part of the solution and they're not to be trusted.
They've soured me on Rossman. Back when he was doing coverage of things like the court cases around right to repair and tractors and stuff, I watched a few videos of his and thought he was awesome. And then he got involved with FUTO and started billing Grayjay as "Open Source" and I've gotten sufficiently disillusioned with FUTO that I haven't followed Rossman at all. I've got coworkers changing their avatars to Clippy and shit, and I believe their hearts are in the right place, but I can't in good conscience really get behind anything or anyone associated with FUTO.
Edit: Oh. I honesty didn't even see this OP was a link to an article. Lol. Now I'm very interested to go read that article.
Edit 2: Shite. I've now read the article. I knew FUTO was assholes in a lot of different ways, but now I know how deeply, completely irredeemable they really are.
You're talking about vaporizing the crystal and inhaling it or injecting it, yes? Not a chaga or ayahuasca sort of preparation? I'll assume you'll be doing just DMT with no MAOI for the rest of this post.
Also, disclaimer: I've never done any psychedelics. Just studied quite a bit.
This is basically cliche at this point, but, set and setting.
Mindset. Meditate. Learn to let go. Learn not to try to control. That will come in handy during your trip. The less you fight it, the more positive it will be.
Setting. Make sure your plans are well set up ahead of time so you don't end up worrying about things down here on the material plane while you're tripping. Have a trip sitter. Trip somewhere beautiful and comfortable. Have a trip sitter.
Aside from that, learn how to actually get the drug into you properly. You don't want to burn it, just vaporize it, and that requires doing it right with the right kind of device. Your trip sitter can help, especially if they're experienced.
Godspeed. No pressure, but if you're ok with it, I'd love to see you report back after.
I once unplugged a keyboard while the computer was on and it irreparably fried the motherboard. That's just how a lot of computers worked at the time. That keyboard used a DIN 5 connector to plug into the computer.
Yeah, automation is fine, so long as it's not in service to the profit motive.
You might get some disagreement from some of the anarcho-primitivists/indiginists/etc. (And I do think there's a lot of good stuff to be learned from their theories.) But I don't have a problem with "automation" per se.
@Grimreaper@sopuli.xyz, you gonna answer this?
