Apathy Tree

We have cameras now that automatically detect this and send out tickets

Do they matter to cops? If they get paid, they get paid by tax money, no?

I guess the camera bit is good for proof at least, I assume there’s a backup of the images or whatever.

But does that make you a roving part of the survailance system, too?

So am I!

I can do housework and even some major projects now and then, and it makes me hurt, sometimes to the point I can’t get out of bed, so then I don’t do more work for a few days, until it feels better, rinse and repeat. Amazing!

Jobs with any sort of physical component just constantly aggravate those pains, day after day, until I break down completely. Super fun stuff! Even sitting at a screen all day aggravates the upper back problems after a couple months! No ergonomics or physical therapy have fixed that, yet. If I could find a fully remote job that would probably work for a while, but those are hard to land. So here we are.

Welp.

I watched several videos in addition to those and feel both better and not, I do understand the simplified analogies in the linked stuff, and they are helpful, as were some of the related content.

I kinda sorta understand the technical stuff, sort of. I’m not in a tech field or anything…

I’m going to keep it there regardless of the negative hype because you never know when I’ll need others to do the same. Im not doing anything wrong so it’s whatever.

I’m up to 10 :)

Thanks for this!

Well I spent the time between when I posted and when you replied looking into various things related to tor, legality, and snowflake more specifically, as well as a bit after your reply since you gave me a couple extra things to look into… (like if there’s a risk of running alongside self-host software like Plex and jellyfin, I didn’t find anything about it so I sort of assume it’s fine…?)…

I didn’t see anything overly bad other than if you yourself use tor, maybe, so took the plunge and… have had a whole two connections already, so yay, I’m a snowflake!

I feel slightly better about myself, like when I started using BOINC crowdsource computing for research in the early noughties. :)

I’m willing to do this but frankly tor intimidates me big time. I don’t know anything about it other than……. Yep that’s it.

I read through the mastodon post, and the project page, and cumulatively I didn’t get any answers that, like, make me feel better.

I assume this is a dark web node sort of thing? Is it safe for me to run the browser extension (idk shit about docker and don’t really want to learn rn), like I’m not putting a target on myself or anything? If yes to question 1, but no to question 2, what does put a target?
