This sort of happened to me at work. We got a new laptop amidst a massive time crunch, and didn’t configure anything before installing our instrument’s software and getting to work. At the time, we didnt have a paid 365 account or anything, so we were just saving data in folders on the desktop at first. A couple months later, all the files, folders and launchers on the desktop disappeared, replaced by a single icon called “where are my files”. It was a web link that directed us to buy 365 or else lose all our files…that we thought we were saving LOCALLY.

Not really the minimalism you're looking for, but I have a mountain of respect for Jonathan Blow and his team. Made their own engine for The Witness so they could have full control to tweak the player experience juuuust right. And imo it still looks beautiful and plays nicely on my laptop's apu. At the moment they're creating a new programming language because he feels c++ is bloated, and they're developing another puzzle game with it. He's got a lot of gripes about the state of game/software development, and damn he's trying to do something about it that he feels is meaningful

My wife's Audi keeps doing the same. The system also isn't smart enough to account for the rate of weight transition when ramming the brakes, so it immediately hits ABS and feels like it's trying to stop on ice. It's actually, genuinely fucking dangerous and enraging

Any obvious holes in keeping a text file on my laptop that I encrypt when not using it? Using ccrypt on linux.

I do not want my passwords - even encrypted - on the cloud or at the mercy of a 3rd party in any fashion.

Brave or ungoogled chromium are other options

When I was four years old, my dad shaved his mustache, and I swear to God I thought it was a stranger who came out of the bathroom and I ran away screaming.

I think that sums up the cognitive state of these particular conspiracists.

Is it fraudulent for a mechanic working flat rate to complete a 10 hour job in 6 hours and collect the full 10 hours of pay?

Seems like most politicians want us fighting right vs left, rather than bottom vs top. And a scary number of people just eat that shit up
