This is an older story, but I installed Xubuntu on an ssd in my boomer parents Vista era computer to keep it running. They really didnt know the difference, my mom only played solitaire while Thunderbird was managable for my dad. My millenial neice and nephews had no idea either, I’d find exe files they would download, but noone ever said anything about why they didnt work anymore. They have no idea about how computers work.

I’m not very technical, but I had to move a jumper on my old 386 when I upgraded my modem.

“We acknowledge his great efforts for peace,” said Chanthol, also Cambodia’s top trade negotiator, adding that his country was also grateful for a reduced tariff rate of 19%.

So, in order to remember all the lies, they are converted to truths. imo.

After the relationship ended, my ex was eventually convicted twice for fraud, the second time they went to jail. I could go on and on with stories.

Trump’s not even in control of his own brain, he’s got serious mental illness.

Damn people, enshitifying the internet for the advertisers.

I switched to GrapheneOS which uses Vanadium browser by default, which doesn’t support any content blocking yet. I use ProtonVPN which seems to block everything.

This is just a conspiracy to conspirasize all the recusions, mirrors and signals that are going on. Lots of signals.
