My music setup is coming along nicely. Tonight I've been working to build out playlists of songs that get shared by friends in a telegram group to see what my own overlap is like with that long list.. Started with the Spotify API to turn URLs into track info, threw that stuff in a database, and now to query my own collection and see what I have

Using colemak on mobile has unfortunately untrained me from using swipe typing. As it turns out, a lot of words are just a big line through the home row.

Ooh this is neat. I'll have to give this a try. https://github.com/reel2bits/reel2bits

I got a final interview! Yay

Current state:
`main.py: Fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server :0.`

Pick your poison then, I suppose. Your options are really dwindling. Essential stopped making the PH1, but that is just as Googled as a pixel really. I still recommend finding a device with the bands you need and flashing e if you still want an android experience.

@shadow8t4
Librem 5 should be shipping soon, but if you are only really worried about the software, why not give your pixel a flash with the e.foundation ROM?

All this, on top of privacy erosion that I have long been passionate about, makes me just want to quit computers all together.

But I know that tech can be an instrument of good, as much as an instrument of evil, and I should do the best that I can to maximize that good.

When I decided to pursue a career in computers, things were easier - it seemed like the biggest ethical question of the day was "should I use a cool filesystem written by a convicted murderer?"

Now we have:
"Will my software be used to help separate families?", and
"What if someone uses our platform in ways we never expected, and can't control?"

Trolley problem ethics class did nothing to prepare me for any of this
