I'm actually enjoying the Linux learning curve because I know it's not working against my interests.

On the other hand, every time I've had to go "under the hood" with Windows (Registry settings, config files) it's been to prevent Microsoft from doing something sh*tty to me.

Microsoft also wants to use 50 gigabytes of your hard drive space (for the Recall snapshots) and make you buy AI co-processors or their software won't work. They want to use your property to create their own Skynet.

A dog will try to save your life if you're drowning. A cat will sit on your head to keep from getting wet while you're drowning.

A lot of these streaming services are ultimately owned by the same company. Ever had a favorite show, where only seasons 1,3 and 5 are available on one "service" and only seasons 2 and 4 are available on the other? This lets the owner of the series double-dip customers on subscription fees.

AI is a ponzi scheme to relieve stupid venture capitalists of their money.

I have never heard of ANY of these services and I download a lot of stuff.

We have to accept false dichotomies because the only alternative is cannibalism.

I grew up watching WW2 movies and the Nazis were never shown as being anything other than Bad Guys. I would love to know how anyone grows up here in the U.S. and doesn't know that.

Who would have guessed that a social media platform owned by an apartheid-loving fascist would trend right wing? I mean, Musk is such a stable genius.

/s just in case.

Silence for 45 seconds.
