#introductions
HI y'all! I like #reading, #coding, #doodling, #anime, #sociology, #philosophy. Mostly the first one and the last three though. My posting style is bursts of activity and periods of silence as I try to juggle my daily life. Of course I am working on following people' s conversation threads in real time enough to jump in more frequently since sometimes I feel like I miss a good points of entry or am too late. Anyway, hope we have overlapping interests!
Morning niu! Relaxing.

HOT AND MOIST
of the bad sort.
This heat is making me feel like I'm slowly roasting inside. I literally have no ACs so I have to bank on this little fan saving me.

Egypt has done more than censor the internet. Egypt was found to have hijacked unencrypted HTTP connections for advertising and cryptomining ๐ฐ
A groundbreaking new report by OONI and AFTE details these anomalies and more: https://blog.torproject.org/egypt-internet-censorship
Of course, it took me less than a minute to find articles pointing out everything she said is false. But here's the problem: in Brazil you have something called "zero rating", which is offering access to popular services (such as Whatsapp and Facebook) for free.
Now have in mind most people only have internet access through mobile connection and they usually choose pre-paid plans, so looking for information to check facts costs a lot of money. Even worse, most Brazilian news outlets now have paywalls.
Guess this technically counts as an amv and the visuals and song fit p. well. https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=eYDI8b5Nn5s
Next: install gentoo.
lolno
Setting up Arch to a basically usable level likely only took as long as it did because I had so many options.
Well, I guess not all the basic stuff technically since haven't set up my screenlocker yet, but I'm not in the hurry when it comes to that given this is a home computer. If it were a laptop, on the other hand..
After a long hiatus focusing on setting up my Arch, I'm back. Got a p. cool GTK theme. Unfortunately everything I've tried so far has had minimal to no effect on Qt apps, but I'll take a needed break since most of the basic stuff is in order.
I'm still going to install zathura in addition tho as a default pdf opener.
Nevermind y'all. I found a package specifically meant to get rid of the gnome-desktop dependency for evince and make evince stand-alone.
Here's some of that graffiti.
Not a super fan of the Voidz though I think they make some good tracks, but everything sounds better live and one of my friends had an extra ticket so I went. Beardo and the band was great and I feel like I could appreciate their music more this way than the studio recordings because I can distinctly make out all the instruments. I wanted to be immersed so took no pics of the concert. But I did take a few pics of the neighborhood cuz of all the good graffiti.
Those damn placeholders will always get you
Can't wait to get to the part where I have to make gtk and qt look nice together.
I don't wanna install KDE desktop environment just to be able to install Okular on Arch. For now I'm sticking to i3+polybar. Anybody got an alternative to Okular that has almost all the features that Okular has?
Listening to MF Doom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGQbQeZbh3k & trying to rap along to it. lol
Doing an overdue backup of my home directory. Hoping to burn an Arch Linux iso and then boot onto Arch and go through installation process.
