I know exactly what you mean! I’ve been on i3 with every build at home for like a decade or something now and it’s easily the most productive environment I can be in. Rarely change things in my config between machines so I end up just slapping the same dotfiles in first thing and I feel like I’m home.

Does it still have issues with the Office suite? Like Excel just flat out dropping the ribbon and window decorations?

It’s the only real way to push back that other folks will notice if enough of us do it.

Last time I went through DC a few weeks ago they were using these. I saw a sign saying you’re welcome to opt out. Nobody even questioned what they were doing and were just going along. When it was my turn I politely said I’d rather not do the scan. Dude just glanced at my ID and waved me through. The next few folks behind me blinked and said they didn’t want the scan either. If enough people push back it can at least maybe slow down the normalization of constant surveillance.

I always thought it was funny the inspiring poem engraved on one of our most treasured national monuments was made by and sent by the French. We can’t even fake it on our own 🙄

Aww shit.

You haven’t seen how they’ve inspected my guitar and a shitload of imported things over the years lol
