Go to an electronics recycling center and get a retired thinkpad (or 5). Once they’re decommissioned by corporations, they wipe the drive and send them off to be recycled.

I don’t keep up with the beliefs of primitive religious cults. I just know she was Shaker by how she dressed. We have Shakers, Mennonites, and Amish in my area. I know which ones I won’t be buying produce from going forward.

Yeah, that’s a great move. 🙄 Meanwhile, I saw a member of the Shaker community walking into Kroger with full blown measles rash.

What’s a good VPN service? Is Proton still good?

Last I heard, torrents would leak your actual IP. Has that been fixed?

I’m so ready for this. I hope they release a sequel too. That ending really left it wide open.

Oh damn! Is it time for my colonoscopy already? Thanks for that reminder.

AI has already stolen everyone’s work. The internet is officially a free for all.

I’m not a liberal. I just call the rot where I see it, and suggest it be cut out. Where’s Mario’s brother when you need him?

Unfortunately. I’d love nothing more than to be able to move my family out of the US.

Powhatan should have 💀 them as they came ashore. That’s one thing I would fix with a time machine.

I second this ~a 13th great grandchild of Powhatan.

Republicans do, but they blame them on the wrong foreigners. The foreigners causing most of the problems are Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami, and a few others.

Substack has had a Nazi problem since its inception. At first, there was a liberal backlash, but they all eventually went there anyway.

I can’t wait to get a hold of a bunch of cheap TP Link routers. Those things run OpenWRT like champs.

I did it a long time ago. The best time to change was 5-10 years ago. The second best time is now.

It’s time to de-Google, de-amazon, de-Microsoft, de-apple, etc.

Just those crotchety old timers who currently gatekeep the code base.

I borrow them from my library through the Libby and Hoopla apps. If I want to support the author, I’ll buy a copy through some other means. Directly from them, if possible.

We’ve already seen a few crotchety old timers who don’t want to add rust to the Linux kernel.

At some point, a complete rewrite of the kernel in a memory safe language would be prudent. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs will have to go extinct before that can happen.
