At this rate we'll soon have a decentralized para-religious terrorist organization full of brainlets that got scared shitless after discovering Roko's Basilisk and are now doing the cyber lord's bidding in order to not get punished once AGI arrives
Nah not really...most of the time I'm at least doing a light metadata check, like who's the maintainer & main contributors, any trusted folks have starred the repo, how active is development and release frequency, search issues with "vulnerability"/"cve" see how contributors communicate on those, previous cve track record.
With real code audits... I could only ever be using a handful of programs, let alone the thought of me fully auditing the whole linux kernel before I trust it 😄
Focusing on "mission critical" apps feels pretty useless imho, because it doesn't really matter which of the thousands of programs on your system executes malicious code, no?

In larger cities it used to be useful sometimes because of abysmal cell coverage and shady public WiFi.
That has improved a lot since then, so yeah nowadays it can't hold a candle to 4G/5G mobile data.
I hope they are aware of https://freifunk.net/ and don't start from scratch completely.
They've been doing that kinda stuff for over a decade and have developed a modified OpenWRT version and maintain lists of compatible routers
Yes fortunately I do have meds, and have opted to take some today despite it being the weekend.
I just don't want to waste another day in ADHD paralysis^^
Yesterday was pretty fucked though. Didn't even manage to get up to go to work, let alone call in sick...buuut I guess that's a problem for Monday
any coated paper materials coming into contact with (hot) food and beverages, eg. Burger wrappers, coated paper coffee cups, microwave popcorn, pizza boxes, etc.
"how can you not?? All the info's right fucking there! Maybe y'all should stop spending your time online cultivating para-social relationships with human billboards slowly rotting away your brain, and start using the fucking thing as it was intended!"
...sigh. I'm tired of being the weird one for knowing having read about things 😅
