the year is 2025. to set up your new wifi router and enable wireless functionality you must take a photo of yourself with your face clearly visible while holding your government issued photo id in one hand and your most recent bank statement in the other and upload the photo to the international registry of wifi routers at which point your submission will be compared to data scraped from the sum total of data breaches during the 21st century to date and, if any discrepancies are found, you will be opted out of participation in the internet and your new router will self-destruct. otherwise, you can then craft an SSID for your network from one of the three choices offered by a dropdown selector. choose wisely.

I cannot accurately express how annoyed I am that Apple's wifi mapping opt-out is to modify your SSID to have #nobot - er - _nomap in its name.

Apple: the clueless opt-out techbro of tech companies that "care about your privacy"

(okay, all the tech companies are the clueless opt-out techbro of tech companies.)

if you're an android user and you get a text message from Gemini, Google's oft-renamed bullshit machine, do yourself and the rest of us a favor and

• long-press the message to select it
• open the three dot menu in the upper right
• select "block"
• leave the checkbox marked to "report spam"
• submit that shit

send every signal possible to the corporate drones that we don't want this bullshit invading our lives.

congratulations on not being banned from all tribal lands in the state of South Dakota unlike that state's shithead governor.

if I had a centralized single-location non-computer business, my business would be safest if the software I needed to use had absolutely nothing to do with the internet. every time we push small businesses into the cloud we're setting them up for pain.

the cat still running his auto garage in eastern europe on a commodore 64 clone and a dot matrix printer will never ever succumb to ransomware or the whims of a cloud app.

I was doing a wiki rabbit hole about Tom Morello yesterday to make sure I hadn't missed any of his side projects.

I hadn't.

But I had missed the bit where his father was a participant in the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya and became Kenya's first delegate to the UN, and his uncle became the first democratically elected president of Kenya. And that's not to mention his mom's long history of activist work here in USia.

So yeah, that's how you make a Tom Morello, obviously.

Guess what? There's a big ol' hole in the ceiling at the bookstore.

Guess why? A goddamn rat.
