My left monitor displays my gaming laptop running Windows 11, which is easily travels with me. My right monitor displays my desktop/media server running Linux Mint. My go-to laptop from the couch or walking out the door is an M1 MacBook Air. I'm excited to see Proton ported to it, since I do a lot of gaming on a Steam Deck, which also gets docked to my TV.

Well, we've found the Stallman zealot. lol

No, storms will by the same or greater.

We just need massively higher taxes, fewer rights, and a lower standard of living. Are you doing your part?

I can't even get Windows 11 to handle one correctly.

I spend at least an hour a day on TikTok. I don't need every social media platform to try to duplicate that experience with varying levels of success.

Climate change is inevitable. It will end humans. That's good for nature. Whether or not you believe in the "crisis" of climate change, either scenario benefits most by inaction.

I didn't even think to try Kubuntu! It's been a while since I dabbled with Linux. I just went straight to Mint and setup Firefox and Plex. I may have to see what Kubuntu is looking like these days.

An Adobe-proprietary format is also not the answer.

If no one was injured and no property was damaged, it's hard to argue any crime was committed. This should be the presumption for human activity as well.

Why would an American agree that information of government misdeeds, no matter how it was obtained, not be protected under the First Amendment?

We know who the actual bad guys are. It's not the ones distributing truth.

Tax me harder, daddy.

Boomers and MS are on their way out. College kids these days prefer Apple. Cutting-edge gamers see what Steam is accomplishing with Linux and Proton/WINE. Mac and Linux both come with free software that does everything MS Office does. MS is doing all it can to try to maintain its presence. Eventually, it will fall. I'm in my late 40s, but I can't wait. This ancient software can't be made extinct soon enough!

Gross. I'll pass.

For nearly a decade, I have subscribed to the Delorme/Garmin inReach service for satellite communication in the middle of nowhere. Starting with the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max, this feature was included for free. While I don't expect the Apple service to be free forever, moving it to a camera-enabled device I already have, plus saving me ~$15 a month, I have canceled my Garmin subscription. There's nothing wrong with the device, but saving almost $200 a year and building emergency coms into the USB C-chargeable device I'm carrying around anyway is an obvious choice.
