"stuck in an airport for a long delay" is the right time to, after years of mainstream desktop modernist minimalism, install a weird alternative WM, right?
@nprofile1q... obviously! depending on how long the delay is, maybe also submit some upstream patches to make said window manager's functionality more to your liking!

PSA: @nprofile1q... has been modified sometime in the past few months (I think) to send filenames of attached images.
It's not obvious it's sending filenames because they're only visible if the recipient saves the image on desktop. This can reveal the order in which photos were taken, how many photos were taken in between, if a photo was taken on a different phone, etc. It's a surprising choice for a privacy-focused app, and partially negates benefits of stripping EXIF metadata.

@nprofile1q... Seems like an ecological disaster in the making. To the extent these genAIs are useful it's because they ingest the very knowledge sources they're now destroying.

Wikipedia is one of the few big websites that still make it possible to argue the internet was a good thing for humanity and not just a tool for amoral oligarchs to surveil us, lure us into surrendering community connections and knowledge into their control, and erect digital tollbooths.
