@fromjason all is well and dandy as long as one is a law abiding citizen. As soon as one shares content deemed as gray (not particularly good or bad) for the specific nation, this lack of protection can backfire.

What's the best video game of all time

What's your preferred way of getting rid of change?

Mine is to change it for chips when playing poker.

In the best case can leave the game with a profit and/or bills.

In the worst case lost all the money.

@dbread AFAIK most emojis appear uniquely either for the software or for the font in use.

@dbread lots of times I don't like the pre-installed tools and to software that better fits my usage. Although is more secure out of the box as other flavors, still opted for the + combo, since the prior I can swipe to type and the latter just holds the emojis.

Doctor: do you feel any pain?

Me: just the basic injection site pain

Doctor: you know you can take Ibuprofen

Me (thinking): when was the last time I took Ibuprofen? It's probably been almost a decade.

Random acts in public:

Man gives person with a beer bottle 10€.

Initial thought they know each other.

When the person is confused with what is currently happening, I also get confused.

We're so fucked.

"Our analysis of a selection of questionable GPT-fabricated scientific papers found in Google Scholar shows that many are about applied, often controversial topics susceptible to disinformation: the environment, health, and computing. The resulting enhanced potential for malicious manipulation of society’s evidence base, particularly in politically divisive domains, is a growing concern."

Taking upon the challenge of making this project more user friendly that non-tech users can also use the tool.

Gotten to the point that one can run the code locally and receive the POIs. The image shows a preliminary mask of how the website might look like.

The trickiness of the task is that the tool uses the `fs` package which doesn't directly have a similar package for the web. One can compress a lot of the code with while using plugins like and . These resolve all the issues other than I/O of files.

It seems like a possible solution to deal with the `fs` issue is to use the various database and storage solutions of a browser.

After collecting data over the past 4 weeks I have decided to evaluate the week off of a percentage of a score.

This is done over three main categories which coincide with the three accounts that I manage and fourth one that is opinionated if one shall highlight any of the articles.

There is also a fifth category that checks if I am trying to post-pone the publishing process because of .

## Desktop approach

With Debian's bare bone nature one can choose many ways to deal with the UI.

Chose the desktop approach and chose [xfce](linuxcapable.com/how-to-instal) due to its lightweight nature.

Although xfce is quick, missing the default suite of software the Gnome provides.

At least xfce has a default shortcut for the terminal in comparison to Gnome on Fedora.

## Enable Firewall

It is recommended to install the firewall on the operating system level.

```
sudo apt install ufw -y
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw allow ssh
```

## Update user group

While still in root mode, one can take the opportunity to add the current user to `sudo` group.

```
usermod -aG sudo <username>
```

## The source list

When installing Debian via a USB-stick, the source list will be the stick. This is okay as initial setup, though sucks if one wants to install additional software.

First enter root mode via

```
su - root
```

By default one cannot run a command with prepending the `sudo` keyword, since the initial user is not assigned to the `sudo` group.

Once in root mode, edit the file

```
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
```

and update to

```
deb deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware
deb-src deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware

deb deb.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware
deb-src deb.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware

deb deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware
deb-src deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware
```

Once done updates and upgrades should work.

`apt update && apt upgrade -y`
