Why? There is lno reason not to own a computer. Buy a Thinkpad, those are like 200-300$. Go on craigslist, ebay, kikebook marketplace and you will find loads of cheap laptops and desktops. Go to goodwill or you local thrift store and look there. Don't tell you don't even have 200$ to spare? Fuck off right now and buy a computer.

NTA but a few people have genuinely completely replaced desktops and laptops in favor of smartphones and especially tablets. Depending on your usecases, there might not be a real need for a proper PC, and as a consequence iOS/iPadOS or Android are your the only OS you have available. Of course, often one might run into situations like these, where there's no mobile alternative.

Judgement is reserved by ourselves  doing so to others is simply cruel because  you don't know their perspective.  those who you find to be troubled you should try to help instead of  ignoring and condemning because that's how you gain real friends that you can trust for life without having to be born next door.

My digital microscope arrived. It took some fiddling to get good resolution but it does work as advertised. In particular, the lens should be as close to the surface as possible (which in hindsight makes sense...).
The lens is obviously not centered properly though, which is annoying. I might try to fix it.

I probably should just buy an adapter board instead of trying to solder the chip manually.

I think it's worth having a thread about ARM linux as it's on the verge of becoming viable in phones and mobile devices. Discussion around whether or not this hardware is or will ever be worth actually buying is important. I understand that a lot of the PINE64 hardware is explicitly not consumer ready, but I've seen some videos of the recently officially launched Librem5 that shipped the product with a fucked screen protector that wasn't applied properly, and that's a fucking $800+ device. I'll try to get around to making a webm of it.

They exist and you can even buy them, they are just not ready for daily use, which is a travesty. But then commercial UNIX pretty much died out because every vendor had its own line of expensive RISC work stations running their own flavour of UNIX, meanwhile anyone could take a random x86 computer and start tinkering with Linux. The problem is that there is no smartphone equivalent of x86 computers, instead you have to either fight tooth-and-nail to somehow put your own OS on a locked down phone, or try make your own. The former is not that much fun when you can permanently brick your phone if something goes wrong, and the latter seems to be too expensive for an end product that is objectively inferior to a low end Android phone.

Any propaganda is done first and foremost for the propagandists' bosses, and only secondarily for the target audience. That's what makes it vulnerable. Can you imagine that some "manager for working with online communities" would approve the use of something provocative or even forbidden in a discussion?
Russian pictures, or even the most sacred of cows - CP... They will guarantee that on the other end of the line there is a living person who has taken good care of his anonymity and is ready to risk his life for his opinion.
If we are talking about strictly censored garbage dumps, then I noticed that:
1) AI cannot be ironic. At all.
2) Living bots are tied hand and foot by the agenda. They are afraid to deviate from the party line even by a millimeter. A person condemns Russia for the war, but recognizes Crimea as Russian, or supports tolerance, but hates green energy - it means he is not paid for his posts.

 HELP COCK.LI 

> You don't need anything but an Internet connection to use cock.li. If all you had was a library card you could use a public computer to get an e-mail account. It's a strange thing to say about a joke website, but cock.li improves access to services for marginalized people globally, without connecting into some corporate system.

> I've never got so much laughter out of anything in my life than my time here. It's not even close. The funniest e-mails I've ever read were sent on cock.li, some of them to me directly. I'm the worst at responding, but I read every e-mail you send me. Every password reset request, every schizo ramble, every question, every story.

> Vincent Canfield

The email provider cock.li is facing legal difficulties to keep the services running.

Vincent, the creator and administrator for over 2 decades has asked for donations to help with the recent challenges. He and his team have provided the service free of charge all this time. Now it's time for us to provide something in return.

Daily updates about the situation will be available at:

It is not just technologies that is undergoing this treatment. There are many crafts and practices that have fallen under the history because of economics of scale. The quality of a lot of hand made goods, food and other things are a lot better then the commercial mass-production. Worse still, the products are often made worse, worth less and break easier, to promote consumption. Email was designed at a time where people all have their domain names and host servers. When ISPs and governing bodies tightened the leashes, port 25 was blocked for all household. The era of thr wild west of the internet is over. Everything now is dull.

I like email, it's very useful and simple, unlike the modern web. But it should have remained as text only! It's stupid ot have HTML email, with links for people to click on and get scammed. It's stupid for there to be embedded images for tracking. All this needs to be tossed and go back to plain text. You can send an HTML link or other URL in a text message too. And they should also stop making those stupidly long URLs that take up 3+ lines on an 80-column terminal. Just keep it bare minimum (i.e. get rid  of all that tracking bullshit and other nonsense).

Chat programs open "previews" to websites exposing your IP with no permission and often with no option to disable it. Many websites have "embeds" that get opened automatically unless you block cross site requests. It's cancer.

Big update at cock.li, looks like they've sorted everything out and are on green status.
https://ghostarchive.org/archive/vJgrf

The new message:
>Hello, cock.li is back again.
>Cock.li's administration team has identified connections between the registration and addition to cock.li of the domain hitler.rocks and two intelligence agencies who directly benefited from its association to the service. The administration team is declining to name the agencies or individuals.
>Cock.li has provided free e-mail service to Internet users since 2013. Its assortment of shock domains has provided immeasurable comedic value to e-mail users worldwide, much to the shagrin of people with no funny bones. The domain itself has never ever mattered, what's always mattered is whether it could make us laugh when we imagine a friend receiving an e-mail and reading the domain aloud.
>Case in point: The domain horsefucker.org was added before anyone remotely associated with cock.li realized its origins are from a community that watches My Little Pony porn. We've carried that clop for all these years because even after realizing its true origins, the story of this domain only got funnier.
>The story of hitler.rocks did not get funnier when we uncovered its origins. After a thorough investigation which has taken place over the last several years, we've concluded it is extremely likely that hitler.rocks was originally offered to cock.li as a poison fruit intended to destabilize the service. And we are certain that the same agencies who were in a position to execute such an operation took every advantage of its association to cock.li, including threatening to associate the domain with unrelated parties in order to convince them to antagonize our service in various acts of cowardice.
>In addition to threats, these same agencies are connected to actual attacks against the service. One individual associated with hitler.rocks and later connected to the identified agencies admitted to signing cock.li's abuse mailbox up for thousands of mailing lists, resulting in millions of spam e-mails and a measurable and permanent decrease in our efficiency in processing abuse reports.
>We've long known that domains like hitler.rocks can lead to confusion of our values and have the potential for misuse. Clarifying those values would be like explaining the joke, so if you are still confused why we found the domain funny enough to host e-mail on, maybe you could understand that cock.li was never supposed to get so big that you would see it in the first place. We also don't give a shit what you find funny or not.
>As a result of our investigation, we've decided that tainted domains like hitler.rocks which we conclude were offered to the service maliciously will never be available for registration again, and may be subject to a future sunset period and service closure. Most of the other domains which disappeared from registration at the same time are either not funny enough to re-add, or are still subject to their own investigation.
>Any complaints about not naming the intelligence agencies responsible are valid. The investigation and disclosure could have been quicker, too. Sorry.
>One of the best domains on cock.li, nigge.rs, was wrongly subjected to this same treatment and has been closed for registration for several years. Cock.li stands no longer for the baseless discrimination of this strong and independent domain. So, it is our pleasure to announce that nigge.rs is available for immediate public registration once again.
>It's our hope by making this announcement you will be better informed of one of the mechanisms that shape the course of speech online. Anyone intending to disrupt cock.li in the future should be warned we will patiently dig at the roots of your operation until we uncover its most basic attacks on human rights. But as of now we at cock.li should hopefully have the closure we need to heal from this mess and move forward with our work on the service.
