I’ve tried setting up a BSD VM a few times but never managed to get a desktop environment working. I’m sure it was due to user error.

This is a tough one for me. I’m pro-privacy, but I’m also pro-sane driving habits.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies and some constructive DMs. You brought up a lot of things I needed to consider that my lighthearted comment and thoughts behind it ignored. Privacy is and should be a fundamental right. This comes before the right to drive aggressively or defensively. Privacy should be non-negotiable.

I’m going to leave this comment up because I believe it is a teachable moment. I have reevaluated my position, and I am wrong. Thanks for the thoughtful replies.

I’ve received letters twice from the same individual who belongs to a JW church. The first was when they moved into the area, and the second was when I moved to another place.

Your property ownership records (if you’re American) are public records, and if you grab it within like, 3 years (where I live), you can even find the closing price and more detailed information on the sale.

Demand better privacy laws.

Oh, Microsoft will still find a way to annoy them, mark my words

Jes. Jabsolutely.

Lol

My account was four years old. There was no way I was going to do it by hand. It took PDS 8 hours to get churn through all that crap.

I had been meaning to delete my account earlier for opsec reasons, but just hadn’t gotten around to it.

I know it’s only token resistance at this point because others have found their comments from Google searches even after their accounts have been deleted, but Power Delete Suite is busy churning away on mine right now.

Pretty happy about my procrastination driving my decision to not put up a bunch of my Star Wars DnD modules and campaign notes.

Sigh, unzips

If it’s good enough for the NSA and other paranoid intelligence agencies and military, I think it’s good enough for our healthcare orgs.

But I do get your sentiment on a user level. If one of my comp sci professors is using Linux in lecture, they are instantly more credible to me than those who use windows (or MacOS!!) unless I have known them for a while and have found out firsthand.

Hogwarts via steam’s proton runs flawlessly.

I mean, maybe if it’s a really, really small nuclear explosion

You should tell them about how you think your teapot must be cursed… Halfway through tea time.

Outstanding! I always wanted my browser to group my tabs based on my porn tastes! Doggy in one group, missionary in another, and GILFs too! Now I’ll never get confused when hunting through my open tabs!!

Already on Pop_OS ;)

I have windows dual booted for a couple things I can’t live or do school without and don’t have viable options for Linux

Same if you click any of the ChatGPT copilot shit baked into the start menu.

But think of the children!!

Every time I see this story I laugh. Thanks for posting it.

True, although I should have specified that I was talking about the computer generated models.

Awesome informative reply. I’ve long wondered about how some creators get the same “face” in some insta accounts.
