afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷Windows Central: "Windows 11's online Microsoft Account requirement means your PC is automatically backing up its data encryption key to the cloud, and Microsoft says it will hand those over to the FBI if requested via legal order."
I think I made a joke last year that, in the future, running an OSS OS would be illegal in USia.
I feel like the probability of that happening is getting farther and farther away from zero.

afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷Just for 2026, every single piece of art, every song, every book, every videogame, every movie, even the superhero movies, every streaming show... Everything should be named:
The Epstein Files Have Not Been Released!
[1/2]
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷because the sooner the files are actually released the sooner some people will realize that whatever horrific crimes are in the Epstein Files will not make USia stop being a fascist empire.
Only its people can do that.

afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷FireFox did some bullshit with Profiles that has fucked up my config on multiple machines.
I would normally blame myself for being careless.
Not this time; I blame "AI" slupidity even if it didn't have anything to do with it.
fuck "AI"
I'm not asking for solutions; mansplainers of any gender will be blocked.
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷Saw a photo of a little kid detained by ICE, that is my cue to stop looking at the news today.
I figure this is why it is illegal to protest the genocide in Palestine. Because they knew they would eventually do it somewhere else.

Fuck off!
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷Somehow, for some reason, I have (consensually) seen more torpedo tits in 2026 than perhaps the last 15 years combined.
Are torpedo tits making a comeback?
I hope this trend continues, as I think torpedo tits are magnificent.
PS: No joke, I would devour a book about how brassiere technology has evolved during the past 100 years. Maybe I should look that up.
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷I am a 50+
I live in a neighborhood of 60+ and 70+
My street has perhaps a hundred houses. On most days I go outside I see ZERO kids.
Also no loud cars. Hardly anyone has a sports car. Or loud stereos.
Point is. My street is exceptionally quiet. The most silent street I have lived in in all my life.
UNLESS!...
I have a conference call.
Then there 3 neighbors with trimmers, 2 with jet hoses cleaning and someone using dinamite to do house renovations.
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷"When I arrived in Vietnam, it was much more visibly poor than it is now. Back then, there were very few cars on the street. The buses were old and broken down. There were no metro systems and most of the villas in Ho Chi Min City were old and dilapidated. And in my own ignorance and chauvinism...
I confused this poverty with inferiority."
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷In recent years, the amount of typos I make has increased by a lot. I have no factual statistics.
I feel like getting old has seriously hampered my eye and hand coordination.
Oddly related, sometimes when I try to "clap" mosquitoes that my hands end not lining up.
I used to not understand the refrain, "Youth is wasted on the young."
