Good…the bad place

Run, run far away and forget you ever heard of fb!!

The more this invasive behavior becomes the norm, the worse off ALL of us will be.

For most people in this community, TNG is your parents’ star trek. It began airing in 1987, 37 years ago. TOS is your grandparents’ Star Trek, at the earliest.

Amazing how you do not think too much about your own age, until you see it staring back at you in black and white!

By this community’s standards at least I can say I did Live long. The Prosper part, not so much.

I did not see a reason given. Anyone know why?

this is not my original content but thought it applies

I am not a content creator and do not upload anything. My use would just be as a consumer.

As a consumer, I will not use YT simply because of ads and the way they have made removing ads without a premium subscription so ridiculously difficult and time consuming.

Imo, having ads thrown in your face when you pause it, is reason enough not to use again.

From a non techy perspective, having what is used and installed being secure is a big one. I am new to Linux Mint. Mostly user friendly until something gets corrupted or suddenly can not be verified.

Looking for why is not always simple, and there are some explanations/instructions easier to understand than others.

I preface most of my searches with Linux mint (whatever I am searching for) for dummies. This helps some.

And sound!

Really does not look quite painful enough!!

Then they suddenly started helping Microsoft exclusively, which has been criticized many times for being a monopoly,

Iirc, Microsoft has 49% of it. OpenAI is having another round where it is speculated Apple will contribute along with Microsoft again.

Wasn’t Altman in charge of World Coin where he wanted everyone to scan their eyes for money to encourage a universal ID/wage?

Walter is one of my favorites. He does crazy well.

I do like my coffee hot…

Public transportation does not operate in the middle of nowhere where the closest store is more than half an hour away.

Why will they not use F-Droid?

Let them weed the humans out. Then the bots can talk to each other over there and all the humans can move here!

Imo, a television should last more than 7 years. There are occasions when simple, or less complicated is better.

…reported :)

I can’t stress strongly enough how badly I am opposed to ads.

Not much to be done with a work machine, but for personal use, I believe the more people moving away from Windows the better.
