There’s even more telemetry and built in ads with Win11 over Win10. If they’re so similar otherwise, why would anyone upgrade to Win11?

The other day, I dug out an old scanner to use. No mac drivers ever and no Win10 drivers. Worked on my Mint laptop with no drivers to install.

Post 911, the “War on Terror”, and the Patriot Act. I was young enough not to have complex political opinions, but it all stank to me.

Oh yeah. I jumping ship with my next system. Right now, my main rig is Mojave/Win10 dual boot with Linux Mint on my laptop and some debain on the headless stuff. Been a mac user since System 7.

Different groups. The Freemasons, which is a real group, but not as occult as pop culture would have you believe, had more to do with the founding of the US. Freemasons also had connections with the French Revolution.

The Puritans are the group you’re describing.

Everyone was religious back then if they wanted to have any success. You were either religious or pretended to be. Why do you think Thomas Paine is the only Founding Father not to have a monument.

Right wingers would have stuck with the monarchy.

I don’t own any Apple ARM stuff, but I think it’s still unfinished.

A BB under the valve stem cap will deflate the tire without causing real damage.

Ok, but can we prove he has a shit personality? Besides, wouldn’t you be cross if you’ve seen the world continuously make the wrong decisions.

Meh. He’s a creative type with a high work standard. He’s also pro socialism and sympathetic to workers.

If the fediverse has to join with Zuck to live, it’s better off dead.
