As weird as it is, today brought to mind this scene from a video game that came out 22 years ago. The government has been taken control of by warmongers and profiteers, lies to the public, and eggs on the audience to wish violence on their enemy. The audience responds by singing for peace and unity.

For anyone switching to Linux full-time and wondering why there's no way to replicate the simple Public/Private firewall on a per-Wifi network basis that Windows has. There actually is, it's just that your chosen Linux Distro probably shipped with UFW, which doesn't support this for some reason.

Note, just realized Gnome has no Firewall integration in its settings panel at all, unlike KDE. So for Gnome users, just install firewall-config GUI and you can customize which zones each network connection uses from there. On KDE, you can customize zones as I described above, or use the GUI app.

Once you've switched Firewalls, go to your Network Manager settings, select the WiFi/Ethernet connection you wish to customize, click the "General" tab, and then go to "Firewall zone" and chose between something like "home" or "public".

I was randomly chatting with Google's AI about how to cook something since I was wondering how'd it do at that, and while waiting for a step to finish I ask it about any interesting tech news from today.

and then it completely hallucinated a brand new, non-existent game console called the "NeoSphere". When I asked it for a link to an article about the console, it was like, "Huh, I can't find anything about it."

@worldofcrap.bsky.social @animeigo.com Hey, would it be possible to make it clearer in the Cart, on the MediaOCD Store, what items are having issues? (Backordered/OutOfStock/etc) I kept getting an error when checking out about an item in my cart being out of stock but it didn't specify what item.
