Wow… The land of the free is really starting to fell like 1933 Germany now…

Literalicy? Ain’t nobody got time for dat.
So basically it’s UserLAnd with accelerated graphics instead of VNC.
Here’s my personal rule: any product / company heavy-handed enough to get past my strict ad filtering online, or advertises enough offline to get on my radar immediately goes into my never-buy list.
Example of that: NordVPN and Brilliant. They managed to bribe so many of the Youtubers I watch - who otherwise produce good, honest content - into shilling their shit that they will never get a dime from me. They might have if they hadn’t invaded so much of Youtube, but now they won’t.
I rock a Fairphone4 running CalyxOS. Apart from the hardware switches on the Purism phone, I don’t quite see what I’m missing out on privacy-wise.
The camera does not take influencer quality photos
That’s actually a selling feature.
I gave $20 to the friendly wino who lives in the dumpster down my street. He’s reported a income growth of 1000% for today.
You’re a rude patronizing prick, that’s for damn sure.
And boomer is telling you it was mainstream. Very much so. The only reason it wasn’t as developed as it is today is because computing wasn’t as developed as it is today.
open source wasn’t really a thing in the 90s and early 2000s
Truly written as someone who wasn’t alive back then and just makes stuff up.
Open-source - which was called free software back then - was very much alive and totally a thing since forever, and especially in the 70s, 80s and 90s. I learned all I know with free software in the 80s. Linux came out in 91 and was a pure product of open source: Minix - the forerunner of Linux - was a fully open-source OS created in 87, and GNU had been around since 83.
Please read up on things you don’t know before posting nonsense.
Do you know how many times some troll has posted about “rm -fr /” on Reddit and other shitty forums, which then gets gobbled up and laundered by LLMs?
Ironically, that now includes you 🙂
What’s privacy-focused ChatGPT? Is it like diet butter?
Hint: if it doesn’t run on your machine, it’s collecting monetizable data.
Install Linux in a VirtualBox virtual machine to try it out. No change to your existing Windows system is needed.
Better: install it in a virtual machine on a second hard drive: if you like it and you’re ready to switch, switch to booting the real Linux hard-drive and turn the Windows hard drive into the virtual machine, to use within Linux when you need it.
If you switch to Linux, this will happen:
It’s gonna be tough: it’s a different system, you’re not used to it. Like everything else, it’s hard to change and get used to new things. So realistically expect some learning curve and some pain. It’s normal.
If you give it an honest shot but you decide Linux is not for you, you’ll switch back to Windows. You’ll be back to your old normal, but you’ll start to notice how infuriating and spirit-crushing it is a lot more, having been exposed to a non-insane, user-centric OS for a while. And then you’ll be that much sadder in Windows and you’ll wish you had the best of both OSes - which you can’t.
Just be aware than exposure to a non-Windows OS will probably make you hate Windows more and make your life in Windows ever slightly more miserable, even if you don’t stick to the non-Windows OS.
They found microplastics in the testicles of EVERY human and yet I didn’t feel a thing when they tested me?
My Nokia 3210 definitely was louder. But then I didn’t have a hearing aid yet back then.
Maybe the restaurant is infested with investment bankers for whom life is indeed to short. Maybe the sign is a secret handshake to tell other investors they’re welcome in this joint.
Just wait until they learn that Jesus was a jew…
