A mess of a girl, free on the internet. A spicy meatball indeed :3

  • surprisingly, it’s actually not… there was a study a few years ago before Trump suggesting that fissle material that cannot be used in a dirty bomb and was targeted at energy production, was far more availible if you appeared to be a educator or in the education sector…

    not that I’m suggesting anything, but from a purely human discussion standpoint, in the age of AI and deep fakes. the only reason this hasn’t happened is people don’t want to risk it.

    generally speaking those with the means, generally are benefiting from the corruption ATM.


  • depends on how it’s declared and transported. as there is classes for each type.

    surprisingly, I believe jewelry and personal goods is the lowest tax bracket. which technically applies to alot of things even electronics.

    obviously every nation is different, but you have to be careful in how things are declared, otherwise they may be just flat out rejected because it wasn’t bought inside your nation. (censorship controls apply to imported goods like media, toys, magazines, electronics goods, and household items. it’s best to treat each thing not as what it actually is but what it’s made from to avoid refusals and overtax due to poor import system that blindly denies.)




  • as soon as food starts the process of production, before it even hits a preparation or cooking surface it has bacteria on it. nothing is completely clean.

    freezing, washing and cooking ingredients reduces these or makes them go dormant. but it does not get rid of them entirely.

    when it’s plated and served, that bacteria is already stating to revive and reproduce. by the end of a meal, between all the new nutrients from the human body added to the plate from the utensils, the leftover food is a breeding ground. this is why leftovers are generally considered risky if not handled properly.

    you simply cannot reliably disinfect them and the only things you can do is store it in a chilled environment to slow bacterial growth and reheat to aid in killing some but not all of that new growth off.

    if you start mixing these together, the salavia, which is unavoidable as spittle occurs whether you notice it or not, and trace amounts are on your utensils from mouth contact. plus any airborne contaminants from the person are in the food.

    it basically becomes a Petri dish. as it’s a perfect microcosm for bacteria and mold…

    we used to grow mold, yeast and fungus by spitting on potatoes and rice. to later harvest it. we understand it well.









  • ?? I’m not following. sure you can run arm based CPUs as a mobile device, but performance of large applications or x86 applications is poor.

    there is also the addressable memory space issue that exists due to most arm core designs targeting phones… the bus is super limited, despite the architecture technically supporting much much more.

    current RiscV cores suffer this same flaw as well.

    the reason arm cores have better battery life is they are designed with phones in mind… not a desktop cpu. x86 mobile CPUs are cut down desktop CPUs with tdp restrictions. there is a massive difference as a result.

    we are talking completely different design philosophies. it’s like comparing a ebike to a sports car… sure the ebike gets great energy economy when you scale the batteries. it’s half petal powered and has tiny draws on lightweight frame. it’s apples to oranges.

    motorcycles would be more apt, but for arm, none really exist outside of obscenely priced workstations.


  • Microsoft was '81 for acquiring DOS (and that’s technically a lie, they didn’t have the source code for several years later. but it’s how they convinced IBM)

    both MS and Apple were living BASIC at this time. Basic is not a operating system, it’s a pre-compiler environment. it’s designed to let you run code directly without machine code. as assembler and C was not a thing or rather licensed yet.

    BSD specifically Netbsd exists as they were part of the invention of C code. BSD was ported from assembler/machine code to be portable with C.

    MSdos, which Microsoft acquired by buying Qdos (aka 86dos), was written by a developer who stole most of the code and copied the rest from a existing operating system (which I cannot recall at this time). both were In negotiations with IBM. just Microsoft lied through their teeth to get the contract and won.


    apple at the same time had fallen behind. the Lisa and apple II were still running a basic interpreter on top of ROMMON. Wozniak who wrote ROMMON and later large portions of apples next two OSes including OSx. kept pushing to get a actual Unix like Operating system on the device.

    however Steve jobs was cruel, and demanded no new changes… it’s why Wolfenstein was nearly out before a true OS existed from Apple… Steve had a long history of trying to control advancement through forcing model version advancements with weaker hardware than the previous so you would be encouraged to upgrade.



  • one of the things I’ve been happy about in the last 24mo, is the HDR and NVIDIA support. until last year I was still using my old 2070 (non super) as I was waiting to upgrade.

    that became more and more rock solid on the open NVIDIA driver.

    when KDE put HDR into stable and then proton got HDR. now Firefox and Chrome. I’ve been in bliss. I don’t even get this good of HDR support on windows and I still have that on a secure NVME for work lol


    there is 2 apps for modifying Logitech kbd controls. I don’t use either, but I would take a look at some wikis if you try again. personally I just avoid logi for anything but mice and webcams. also avoid Razr for anything, backdoors in their drivers are just plain stupid.


    motherboard sensors I can get, I have a issue with mine with lmsensors, I’m a longtime Linux user so I can navigate to fix that with some dkms kernel modules… but I totally get how and why this would be a issue and full blame lmsensors for being too bloody slow mainlining sensors… license shenanigans are a pain.



  • by the first device intended to run full applications from external developers and interact with a active web.

    this even puts palm, blackberry and early windows mobile devices barely outside of the cutoff sadly. they simply weren’t designed for the “extensions” people used to make them bridge into becoming a “smart phone”.

    most of that list also is post-iphone/iPod too, which makes it kinda moot.

    it’s kinda why windows phone, iOS and Android are treated as the “first” of their kind. as that was Thier intent from the start.



  • what year do you think it is?

    I am using my VR headset playing half-life alyx, while using my premium Logitech mouse, Elgato stream deck and streaming to YouTube.

    nothing has any issues. all of my messaging services have apps and just work “out of the box”. setup took me maybe 20 minutes. most of it was just going to my phone for 2fa.

    only time this is ever a issue is obscure, windows only applications that use special hardware authentication like some old CAD software. or some silly editing software like Adobe cloud who intentionally block Linux. (also older adobe software is better anyways and works. Linux alternatives exist and work equally as good.)

    I remember how it was 5 & 10 years ago. struggling at each step. but it’s not the case today. on the rare occasion I need to spend time diagnosing something, it’s usually because the company behind it did something disgusting, that makes me want to stop using their services anyways.

    it’s rarely ever hardware or software that doesn’t use online services.
