  Our late stage capitalism investor market directs money flow to places where development is on upward trajectory and disappears very quickly from places that plateau. Eternal growth is impossible, but you can always bullshit your way forward, because in the end it’s about impressions.

• Well I have one room where my budgies roam free. I use Airam programmable GU10 RGB lights to simulate day cycle. It’s the only thing that’s “calling home”. Been too lazy to build a local solution. Everything else is run by ESP32 chips and bunch of raspberrys

• Duckduckgo did give me a github page for a ESP32 bluetooth mouse jigger. Not sure if compatible with ESP32-C6 because of the RISC-V. Had some issues. Thats why they are “laying around”

• Motor and legos should work fine. You just need to glue something on with a little more traction on it.

  There is also a powershell script you can use to press numlock on-off in set intervals, but that’s more visible to IT, if your company uses activity analysis.

  They really suck ass, but I see they have an actual function.

• Yeah. Plugging in a USB device that you bought online is a risk, unless you have enough knowhow to analyse it first on your machine running a wm.

  Safer mouse jigger is a small slow electric motor and some legos.

• My workplace has hybrid system. 3 days in office and 2 days remotely.

  It has shifted so, that people work their ass off during those 3 days using AI as much as possible and during those two remote days they just sit on their asses with a laptop running in the background, mouse jigger on.

• If I login to youtube and click a video, advertisments are mostly female hygiene products, braziers or frozen food products, because wife sometimes forgets to sign out from Facebook or Instagram. There also used to be gaming related stuff, but after my son became “privacy oriented”, those.disappeared.

  I’m guessing that for data brokers we are one singular blob.

  Not sure about how it all effects on blending in.

  on How often do y'all use a VPN? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 23 Aug 2026

• In a way always.

  Whole family is connected to home network and home network has filters and blockers in the outgoing router.

  Additionally home security system doesn’t have to keep connections open outside or have ports forwarded.

  Outgoing router however does not have VPN set, so home network IP is visible. This is to keep everything operational and CAPTHCA from annoying users.

• Yeah. COVID lockdown was my golden era.

  I secretly despised people at my company that wanted to demolish remote working completely after COVID on the pretence that people are traumaticed by the solitude and need to get back on the horse 100%.

  Eventually only max. 30% remote was allowed and became company norm.

  Even then some of these pieces of shit actually forbid remote working from their subordinates.

  Those subordinates then gave them absolutely garbage employee reviews and made their worklife hell. Now they are in some other company torturing some other poor souls.
