@lqlarry My primary laptop has a Ubuntu key, as did the one I had before it from.tbe same company (it was sold with Ubuntu pre-installed - and at the time, I was a big fan of Ubuntu and that key in fact helped sway me to that laptop). When I got my Unicomp Model M, I also got the Linux key kit for it. Spending that much money to get my dream keyboard, $15 more didn't seem like a big deal.
I hope there is a hell. I hope the deity who decides who goes there is just. I'm confident I won't be there, not that I needed such a motivation to be as good a person as I an be. I did my best, grew, learned. Those who wanted to harm others did not. I'm satisfied with who I've been. Are you?
@aalexander Actually, I can't think of where you can buy an actually blank x86 desktop or laptop without building it yourself. You can get one with Linux pre-installed, not pay a Windows license, and put whatever you want on it, but not blank. I wish I could cause I don't use the default partition structure on my primary machine.
So, relublican voters... You destroyed democracy and freedom to own the libs. You own them. How's that return on investment? You're monsters. People who have done nothing will suffer and die because of you. You own that now, that's who you are. I'll likely die before this is all over, but I'll die knowing I was kind and compassionate.
@Nigel_Purchase USA, "The Land of the Free", is fucking dead. It's gone. It was never free, just ask your non-white friends, but what bit of freedom we had is fucking dead. Gone. I have been saying for years now this is Holocaust 2.0. Hug your queer friends cause they're going to be murdered once the fascists are done with the "illegals". Disabled people will handled after that.
@Nigel_Purchase Eveyone talks of midterms, and 2028.... No. I saw this coming. I didn't know it'd be so easy to rewrite those parts of the law, and hapoen this soon, but Trump and reoublicans have been acting like they have 0 fear of being voted out for a long time now. I knew god damn well they had 0 plans to win any elections. Not 2024, not 2026, not 2028, not ever again.
I hate that it's true, but civil war is a necessity at this point... because they WILL openly murder "undesireables".
@aalexander Jokes aside, I do wish phones were easier to change OS. My love of freedom (Actual freedom, not the lie kind) means I also support someone's freedom to install a locked down, spyware, adware, bloated Microsoft OS if that's really what they want to do. I mean, if someone's that in to digital masochism, who am I to oppose their choice?
@aalexander I suppose it depends on how permenantly Linux is installed. A device that requires flashing is a bit more permenant than an x86 you could just abuse with Windows install media
