Gotta take a week or two to organize a few personal projects. Taking a bit of time from social media to focus. Then, back with all kinds of new energy! Stay safe. Be kind to each other. Look after yourself and the people you care about.
💜 you all!
It is time for our first giveaway.
We're giving away a Librem 14 from Purism. It's a fancy expensive $1,400+- laptop.
Requirements:
- Follow @ddd1ms on Xitter
- Comment below
Librem is a pro-privacy laptop that unironically comes with a fuckin' kill switches for mic, bluetooth, camera. It has Intel Management engine disabled. It runs PureOS, with app sandboxing, adblocking, tracking protection, etc.
This laptop is basically a privacy nerd laptop. It also comes with a bunch of NSA stickers, HOPE (Hackers on Planet Earth) stickers, FBI Most Wanted stickers, etc.
I forgot to ask for the specs on the laptop, but I'll get that stuff later on. Attached image is the laptop he'll mail to your home.
@vxunderground@ddd1ms Hey there. Nearly homeless SE student, working temp jobs to stay afloat. My Thinkpad got crushed on the bus back from 10hrs directing traffic 🚦⛔ for roadwork company. Anyway, winning this would definitely level me up so I wouldn't have to study at the library anymore. 🤞🏻
@PayPal4Business Tnx for putting a hold on my income tax I transferred into my PayPal account. Didn't realize it was against TOS to charge myself to fund the account. Not sure if you'll get to keep my $480 but it'll be the last. When I started it, there was no other option. 🤬😭
@GemLeighton Edie, as an artist, I'll say this piece shows real talent! At your age, I was able to reproduce what I saw in detail but didn't have the ability to let art "flow" from me "with feeling", which you've done here. Anyone can learn what I do but, your creativity can't be taught. 💜🎨
@aGirlCalledChar Don't worry about it. Tell them to look at the bright side. Job security. If you always followed their advice, they'd be out a client and a paying client is worth their weight in 💰.
@dbodybalancer@lmcgrew Apparently, from this article https://t.co/ZiZhYkq3oQ, it's been scaled up in "60 commercial applications... in Japan, Africa... Nepal, Canada, the US & South America" and can process "up to 3 tonnes per day".z
All that's left is to convince your local authorities to buy one.🙂
@aGirlCalledChar I mean, things I've heard, "Ppl find live when they're not looking for it and in the least likely place."
"Looking for 💜 in all the wrong places."
"Most people have already met the person they should be with."
Hearing all that, it's situation, seems to fit the bill.😊
The fact that our police are armed to the teeth does absolutely NOTHING to prevent these things from happening. Not. Once.
Because our police are militarized, it normalizes firearms AND causes any bad actor to feel that they NEED a gun to stand a chance. More people get killed.
@poadie3 RT @deangloster: @GotJanie We've had at least five U.S. mass shootings just today:
1. Kenosha, WI.
2. Austin, TX
3. Ohio (6 shot) at a vigil for a prior shooting.
4. New Orleans, LA, (6 shot) at a 12-year-old's birthday party.
5. Shreveport, LA.
@JessiShakarian @thecaitcode I agree. I think when we try to combat block with more focus, we're spending extra effort digging a deeper hole. I find if I run out of steam it's because I need to adjust my work/life balance. I get more ideas when I'm not trying and am doing something fulfilling.
@bannan_ken@J4yGrant@lmcgrew Just so people are aware, in the medical community, the term "make them 'comfortable'" has been used as an unspoken way of saying, "give them enough morphine to make them comfortable and disregard the fact that that amount may be enough to end them." It's respectful, IMO.
@bannan_ken@J4yGrant@lmcgrew When it's my time, I hope someone has the guts to do the right thing and say, "Make him 'comfortable'," which doesn't mean 'fluff his pillows', in that situation.
