I had a dream one of the chapo boys stalked me and somehow infiltrated my whatsapp contact list and he was reacting with laughing-crying emojis to all of my whatsapp messages and i didn’t know if he was mocking me or if he actually found them funny anyway that was my dream

I think online fundraisers were a thing before Breaking Bad, but I swear to god that after GoFundMe reality got rewritten and I can’t find evidence of them ever existing.

When people discuss Framework laptops or whatever, this is what comes to mind. They’re priced at a pretty inaccessible price point already and people tell me that Framework laptops being reliably sold at that price point is a success for upgradeability and right to fix laws because it shows there’s demand for it, but it really isn’t. What succeeded here was Framework establishing a “tinkerer” niche, one that grants you upgradeability and freedom to install whatever software you see fit without jumping through weird hoops at a premium. Cisco did this with WRT54G and WRT54G-L routers, the second had a steep price difference even though the hardware was essentially the same, just because it allowed you to flash in OpenWRT without using exploits. It’s the same for enthusiast phones, most if not all of them allow you to flash in your own bootloader without exploiting, but most enthusiast phones are sold at flagship prices. It’s just capitalism that’s so incredibly good at spotting its own rot and commoditizing the solution.

She certainly sounds proud of it!
