@hacks4pancakes Decades ago, this company was claiming to have invented the operating system that would work across all computer platforms, Micro, Mini, and Mainframe. They hyped it, and it was called OS-2 (of all things, unrelated to MS OS/2). A friend who was an investor asked me to look at it. I explained in detail why it was not a good investment, and he didn't invest $50K. I was laughed at and told I was wrong.

Where is OS-2? A money pit that vanished a year later.

@kims We got our solar electric system installed by the end of 2025 deadline to receive our Tax Credit on our US taxes. That's a big deal because it's 30% of the cost of the installation. Woot!

@tyil And throw away all the software one has used for years? Hmm... @Lydie

@tyil If you are abused by the operating system, by all means leave. But that is such a stretch of an analogy as to be insulting to people who have been abused. As I have been. So, try again. @Lydie

@tyil OK, I gave you a chance. Now you make it akin to slavery. I'm not going to tolerate you any longer. You will be blocked. People such as yourself, make social media intolerable. @Lydie

This is absolutely true. I searched and found credible sources stating this fact.

@intransitivelie Hahaha, Linux, Hah. People aren't going to go from Windows to Linux. Not in any volume at least.

@susankayequinn Yet the USDA.GOV website says the following lie:

@thomasfuchs Wow, you have Issue #2?

@PixysJourney @autistics I scored 42 out of 50. I consider myself ND.

@thomasfuchs Wow. That we have a strong feeling about someone and are not sad they are no longer with us is now a condemned speech according to Clemson U? Just wow.

I just got a random payment for a Facebook privacy settlement.

$19.18

Anyone else get a #Facebook settlement?

@GottaLaff Yes, proof of lawlessness in a federal court is a significant win.

@thomasfuchs yeah, those are nice, I'm looking for coffee americano. Those are all so so or no app access.

@thomasfuchs I am in the market for a high tech coffee maker, there are none that meet quality control and high tech. I'm unwilling to risk my morning coffee to a tech bro's fever dream. Bought a Fellows and it leaked water on first use. Good coffee, but failed the basic quality control test.

@thomasfuchs Bose 901s? Is that Marantz equipment to the left?

@RickiTarr We too are going to go celebrate. I haven't flown a flag for a decade now, I still won't because I couldn't do so without flying it upside down.

We are going to our community picnic and will talk with like-minded people and the magats can go screw off. I'll be wearing Red-White-Blue and I plan on being part of the group of people that takes our country back from the fascists.

Have a happy 4th, celebrate like it's June 19, 1865...the true independence day in our country.

@RickiTarr Dare I wear this cap?

@zombiewarrior I won't argue that part. But from what we've seen, they are being sent to prisons where they become forced labor, not death camps. The primary difference between a gulag and Nazi concentration camps.

To be clear, neither is acceptable AT ALL.
@hosford42 @AnnaAnthro

@AnnaAnthro We are running gulags now, not detention centers. I don't even know what to do. I am so frustrated with this situation and feel powerless to make a dent in it. As a teen I protested Vietnam and have protested all my life up to Trump's gulags in his first administration.

But to be honest, it feels useless this time as the planning to control all facets of things seems sewn up tight. Nothing seems to stop these evil people.
