I don’t have one to cancel, but I might celebrate today by formatting the old windows SSD in my system and using it for some fast download cache space or something.

I keep wondering if the incoming tech oligarchy administration will boost stock prices (because that’s how they compound the billions) and that will be enough to keep us in this rut longer than we would be otherwise.

And as a white guy I usually sigh and think “they do be that way” because it’s usually pointing out a large group of actual shitty people who also happen to be white. It’s not like they are rare, lol.

Yeah, and you interacted with them on your PC. So I thought you might like this anecdote.

I’m totally accustomed to using my phone on the fediverse. Voyager ftw. But, just yesterday I relocated my main PC so that I could use it with a cantilever lap desk on my end of the couch. In my household we tend to hang out together in the same room all the time, so this is a game changer.

Plus it’s only been a few weeks since I switched this former Windows gaming PC over to Linux Mint. So all the massive UX improvements that brings still feel fresh and impressive for the stuff I use it for. Been running linux on my work machine much longer.

It’s a proper old man PC setup. My feet are up and I am typing on my old full-sized mechanical keyboard that has the circuit board inside mounted to a slab of metal. I can feel my beard turning gray!

Thank goodness you’re here. Next thing you know, somebody is going to ask ME to be polite too!

I am able to run Linux in a M365 company, and whether Google or Microsoft had more influence on the current state of things, it IS nice that the whole suite works great right there in Firefox.
