linux users teaching windows users how to pirate and dual boot a debloated activated windows LTSC with a selection of trustworthy base application recommendations is harm reduction.

vividlope is SO good by the way. very fun, has strong arcade vibes similar to Super Monkey Ball, and the gameplay is generally just a chaotic mess. but like, in the best way

Completely Useless Legislation, Exhibit A:

Hungary has a new law that students have to surrender their phones at school. The phones have to be locked up, hauled around in safety boxes by teachers etc. Students get them back at the end of the day.

A friend of mine teaches high school. He noticed that when students get their phones back, they don't even turn them on, just toss them in their bag.

Decoy phones.

Seriously, no one thought about this?...

Random bright LEDs on charger bricks and cables and random cheap electronics accessories are so irritating. I really value being able to have a dark room when I turn off the lights. Do other people not have issues in a room full of blinkenlights and pulsating LED strips? Is sleeping with lots of annoying lights on around you 24/7 being so normalized that manufacturers don't even realize this is an anti feature?

I have to take the time to tape over, or otherwise obscure the LEDs whenever they are where people sleep (which is most rooms in my tiny place). It is infuriating and makes it look like cheap crap that is half-broken from day-one after getting it.

I am including a poll. Does this bother you too? Do you see a utility in these weird lights? Do you not mind lights being on while you sleep? Falling asleep with a TV or monitor on would be in the same category of not minding these lights in my mind. Reply if you disagree or have more nuance to include.

This sounds like some shit EU people would make up to make fun of how weirdly unsafe american home electrical systems are, but it really did just happen.

I had to go shoplift a new power strip.

This shit was really old, but I have even older ones that have never done something like this.

Bombings, war media, genocide 

The times of Israel has a war duration counter on it that reminds me of American news during the invasion of Iraq and the carpet bombing there too.
