My laptop is now 100% fucked but a friend is going to fix it tomorrow. Tails is either incompatible with my Asus laptop OR the software was evil...?
No worries I'm not technically crazy (yet) but I did just have a 'modern nightmare' Freud would be really confused by, where I got the weirdest message on my phone like "oops it seems your laptop's been corrupted, do you want your phone and privacy to be ok?" and in the dream I knew that was basically the government saying "Do what we tell you: stop thinking and looking for answers". Isn't it utterly sad that this notion in my dream instilled the biggest, most generalised fear? We complain about North-Korea but fuck how is this any different. Anyway it was just a dream and so probably also just my imagination etc, thanks for trying to help, that's it for me. Have a great end of the year everyone, Sincerely, Clémence who will never touch a BIOS ever again. sent from mobile On Oct 28, 2016 11:46, "C.
