Can't wait to arrive at Prog Text File ;

Time to say goodbye to #Python2

it's one of my favorite things when the text is super super tiny in Doom because of some weird settings of mine

truth coming out of her well to shame mankind

sometimes i try to understand the theory musicians talk about and i end up on wikipedia with many tabs open thinking it's literally harder than quantum physics

systemd is so controversial because it's short for "system dog", and a lot of linux folks are cat people

One of the leading Y2K aesthetic tweeters on Twitter goes through what was the Millennium Dome.

As someone who was too young to know what it was other than 'there' and 'vaguely a massive failure' (I only visited it once after it became The O2), wooow this fucking thing was worse than I could have possibly imagined.

Use Google Drive, but encrypt everything.

Create separate, fake Facebook and Twitter accounts for anything that requires linking to a social media profile.

Buy locked-down hardware that's sold at a loss and then jailbreak it.

Jailbreak all your friends' devices.

Repair things.

Hack the ink cartridges on your printer so you can refill them.

Install Linux.

i've trapped jeff bezos under a large tupperware bowl in my kitchen. i didn't really plan beyond this point and welcome any suggestions as to my next move here

Alright, fuck it let's do this. If you got a patreon, ko-fi, liberapay or whatever, reply with it and I will boost. Cannot promise donations, but I will use what reach I have to help if I can. Let's actually build that support network I was talking about earlier.

I encourage others to boost this status and all the posts that end up beneath it to get as wide a spread as possible.

Not sure if this will even work, but I feel like I should at least try.
