However, I do not like, and can no longer support how facebook abuses extremely powerful AI modeling formulas to locate, and market to easy to manipulate people. Facebook is a veritable giant in the AI modeling world. It has trained models to locate fringe, angry, and emotionally fragile people. T…

Not too long ago I had made a post about the pi-top and a child-hood dream I had of creating a modular "testing" PC for developers. With the joy, and success I had creating the previous pi-top.

I will add…
