Exactly. I use NixOS, btw.

“…or is this actually a thing now?”

Always has been.

I’ll see myself out.

I had to scroll way too far to find this. Especially considering that I have a desktop with full disk encryption, I don’t worry about it. If anyone ever did break into my house and take my computer, they would have to unplug it first; at that point, the disk would encrypt, and they’d have some really nice hardware which sucks for me, but that’s all they’d get.

Meanwhile, Twitch, a company owned by Amazon, gives me ads for things that I’m not even interested in. I mean, they totally fail at targeted advertising. I got an ad for the VA yesterday, which is fine, but it can’t be targeted at me because I’m not a veteran. The military wouldn’t even let me in because I have asthma. Never change, Twitch.

It all started back in 1998, when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeted 16 feet through an announcers table.

My grandpa talked about doing this back in the 1930s with his brothers, and by that I mean, they put their neighbor’s cow on top of their barn, somehow. I think this is one of those things that, in one form or another, has always existed and always will.
