It's PGP not "GPG"
tf is GPG?
GNU Pretty Good?
yeah I know it is.
pretty good privacy =/= GnuPG
PS: ssh > pgp
seriously pgp is a dumpster fire

I know we’re all having a good laugh about the newest round of Epstein emails, but does anyone else find it fucked up people have been sitting on all this info and only release it when it’s politically convenient?

Watched #IronLung yesterday, and I gotta say, I wasn't dissapointed. It was definetly a slow burn, but I liked it! It has it's flaws, but I can really appreciate the work and technique put into the movie. It has some REALLY cool shots I wouldn't even expect a hollywood production to have.

We've built our own text-to-speech system with an initial English language model we trained ourselves with fully open source data. It will be added to our App Store soon and then included in GrapheneOS as a default enabled TTS backend once some more improvements are made to it.

“Uses GenAI” is an S tier red flag up there with “transphobic” and “doesn’t put their dog on a leash”

Bought tickets to see #IronLung on friday! Super excited, going with a group of friends to a local theatre.
I have high expectations, unlike other Youtuber made films. Ive watched some Markiplier videos about his project and he seems really passionate about it.
See y'all Friday :D

If a band or artist for whatever reasson can't afford to hire someone to create an album cover for them, rather than using AI I would much prefer if they just had a fan do it for free.
Even if the quality of the cover isn't as good or even made in MS paint, anything is better than AI "art".

I'd really love for NixOS to have support for mandatory access control. Support for SELinux is apparently in the works and apparmor is very experimental on NixOS.
To take advantage of SELinux on NixOS would be awesome. Crossing my fingers I can use it soon :)

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣
![Screenshot of an email:
Subject: [PIPEXP-1192] Login Access Request
To: me
Good morning Kimberly! =^uwu^=;;
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging into Jellyfin! It looks like your SSO account was indeed deactivated on 2025 Dec 15.
According to our records,
1. On or about 2025 Nov 15, you were broken up with by ___, who noted this as a “final break” on vis event report sheet. I’m also seeing that Ve ticked the “Unilateral” box, meaning it isn’t contestable.
2. Our Salesforce shows you aren’t close to any other polycule members
Unfortunately, our solo-poly access policy doesn’t allow us to extend resources to unpartnered members after the 30 day grace period following your break. This includes entertainment resources (Jellyfin / *darr / nzbget / Pornhub for Enterprise™ seat), as well as O365™, Adobe CC™, and shell access on the Nix clusters. We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! 😭💜
If you have any questions, you can reply to this email to generate another ticket, or you can contact zzzoeee@ from our Partner Infra team (note: three Zs and three Es in their LDAP, we have a lot of Zoes here!)

Regards,
___ (🏳️⚧️she/her, UTC -5)

Github is down! Woohoo!
