I wish we had more dumb storage media.

These days, most storage devices - USB sticks, HDDs, SD cards - have a builtin controller and firmware. If it gets pwned, you can't trust any data on the device, and there's no easy way to verify the firmware.

Back in the day, we used to use Floppies, tapes and CDs. In case of these, the controller was part of the computer, and you only removed the raw medium.

Tapes are still around, but they're pretty niche...

What’s Causing the Mass Bird Die-Off in the Southwest?
Thousands of migrating birds have died, perhaps starved by drier conditions related to climate change or by having to fly inland to avoid wildfire smoke.

I realised white american's ancetrsy is like an arithmetic problem entwined in european geography. Fractions of this region and that.

By banning Tik tok and Wechat and other Chinese apps they thought they could save the economy and people from covid. Ugh.

A good reminder

Had to jump through too many hoops just to read a book I legally purchased. How’s the new, inexperienced Linux user supposed to find out how to do this?

DRM needs to die. In hellfire.

Breaking the DRM on stuff you own should not be /literally illegal/.

Seriously, what the /heck/ USA.

@brainblasted funny thing: it is usually simplier to download pirate copy rather than go through all DRM hell just to read/watch/listen the content you want on the unusable DRMed proprietary reader/player.
