@adisonverlice @krutonium I think it's the duty of #TechLiterates to make things #accessible!

• Anything else is just blaming and burdening those that are disabled / not full (bodily) abled.

@pluralistic Personally, I wished I could just sue both #Google and #PayPal to not nag me with that shit but as much as I'd love to see someone like @wbs_legal to push that, I have more pressing things to attend to right now...

• I think it's not up to us to "#disenshittify" cuz as #TechLiterates we are competent doing so but we should really claw back on behalf of the #TechIlliterates who's reality is sliding into #MirrorsEdgeCatalyst - level of #dystopia...

@MichalBryxi @SecurityWriter @MastodonEngineering I agree to an extent.

• Yes it is a failure of us who are #TechLiterates to increase #TechLiteraxy but it's also a failure of #education globally to teach anything but being a "#User" who's ignorant beyond mousing #Microsoft products. (See shitty certifications like #ECDL!)…

It's sad that #Xandros on the original #EeePC seems to be peak #Linux #Desktop when it comes to #TechIlliterates...

• And that needs to be changed…

@StarkRG @colinstu which is why we as #TechLiterates are mandated to normalize using #OpenStreetMap by #TechIlliterates!

@mrmasterkeyboard np.

• I thought the glare was excessive due to the lights, but then again I'm not gonna complain more about it. Noone expects you to have a fancy mattebox with turntable to make some professional product photo.

Also even if people don't have a donor to transplant a screen assembly from or don't feel comfortable fiddling with eDP cables they could just remove the screen and have a compact AiO Desktop.

• If it has like a "full function" #USBc port with #PowerDelivery than this can result in a sleek desktop that also looks good and doesn't require much space. Ideal if the battery is busted and a replacement isn't worth it! I've seen those in like #RepairShops where they basically setup some #MacbookPro that way as a DFU machine to reflash / reinstall other #Macs.

I think it's a necessity that we as #TechLiterates propagate the need to #UseLonger and the #RightToRepair as essential, given that #tech inherently is expensive in terms of #resources and that avoiding #eWaste and #Upcycling is an act of #EnvoirmentalProtection.

• Tho make shure to safely remove any "#DangerPillow|s" and handing it over to the relevant #recycling provider(s)...

If I had the necessary €€€€€ I'd literally start my own "#upcycling" #business, even employ some folks collecting all the #surplus'd #Windows10 machines and just cleaning, wiping, repasting, fixing and selling them as cheap #used #PC|s for those that kinda need something to do their casual "#office", #LightGaming and #MediaConsumption.

• I mean people are surprised how zippy even old hardware can be with just few tweaks (more RAM, a fresh SSD, cleaning it of dust bunnies and repasting the cooler with some quality (longlife #ThermalPaste, like #ArcticMX4) "#ThermalGrease" (that costs like €1/g in a 20g syringe and a #RepairShop can easily go through one in a shift)...

@empathicqubit @crazy_pony @signalapp @monocles @delta

I disagree, because the few steps needed can be taught to literal #TechIlliterates within minutes, and I did so several times, walking them through.

• We as #TechLiterates are responsible to teach #TechLiteracy to #TechIlliterate "#Normies", or we deserve then damnation through our own hubris!

@icedquinn @getimiskon we as #TechLiterates need to teach the #Zoomers how to use #tech for good...

https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/113636275982098256

@AeonCypher Granted, I think the most skilled #TechLiterates are the ones that learned by DIY'ing their "#HomeLab" with literally dumpster-dived equipment they cobbled together into something working.

• Because that teaches one the fundamentals in an exciting, fun, and limiting factor, forcing one to #ImproviseAdaptOvercome and learn how to #Ghettohack in "hard mode"...

After all every dipshit can just buy fancy gear with the highest tier of everything and support and order all the FRUs & CRUs beforehand to have onsite, being only limited by one's credit card, but that's like buying a Bugatti Chiron: A testiment that one has more money than sense!

@PurpleJillybeans With great #knowledge and/or #power comes great #responsibility and "#TechLiterates" are morally obligated to guide "#TechIlliterates" into the right direction.

@vonxylofon @CCC

Taking the Taliban as example is completely ridiculous, as those are a clear case of warlordism and thus should not be considered acting in due process...

It's not about non-conformism, but rather exercising self- and mutual defense and that includes refusing to normalize proven to be insecure and post-privacy bs like fingerprint-based authentification.

#WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue applies with all #Enshittification and the only winning move is not to endorse, use or even respect such #SurveillanceTech.

Because it's not about the now but the fact that we allow #Cyberfacists to make politricks and laws.

Your right to be able to effectively refuse to self-incriminate may not be of concern for you or your immediate friends and family but it'll protect other peoples' lives - including outside your juristiction.

Just imagine if down the line we'll get #GAFAMs to abolish any #login but #fingerprint sensors or someones' face on their devices and then just take some underground folks in dictatorships like Russia, "P.R." China or North Korea and then tell me with a straight face that you don't believe shite like that can't and won't happen in the West because it already did happen and if you can't remember then maybe you should repeat history classes from 1930 onwards...

We as #TechLiterates have a social obligation to protect #TechIlliterates by going out of our way to push back against the dragging of the #OvertonWindow into a really nasty, Orwellian corner.

So no, if you think I am the problem then please GTFO.

@siguza which IMHO should be illegal #rentseeking by #racketeering as #Apple has no business charging #devs that don't use their infrastructure at all.

It's Apple's decision to not allow "#sideloading" aka. #Installing Apps outside of their Stores or rather #paywalling that.

I wished @EU_Commission was actually staffed with competent #TechLiterates instead of #InternetPrinting #TechIlliterates like #Zensursula...

@fuchsiii @forthy42 @lunch @nixCraft Yeah, kinda like #heads + #coreboot where one needs to sign #Kernel updates and #grub with one's personal private keys...

But that requires people to be #TechLiterates...

@SwiftOnSecurity

Add to the fact that #Linux users tend to update their shit very fast and often as well as being above-average #TechLiterates and it doesn't make much sense to attack @linux itself...

Espechally with lower hanging fruits like #outdated #WordPress [#Plugin] installs that can be automatically scanned for and exploited automagically and there's no reason to waste expensive personnel hours for the occasional root access to some slow box...

@gsderp *nodds in agreement*

We also need people besides #TechLiterates like @aral and others to be aware of it, and literally get those needing #accessibility to know this ableist trash and publicly outcall the use of it...

@bruces well, I think that leaves the actual, decentralized internet back to the #TechLiterates...
