Well you don’t “scan” a book that’s already digital.

The fact that they destroyed the books is the most reprehensible thing to me. They could have resold or donated those books to libraries. Instead, they chose the ugliest and most wasteful thing they could possibly do. Despicable.

Or you could … Delete Windows too. Or only run it in a VM.

I don’t use Windows, except in a VM as absolutely necessary. Problem solved.

Yep. Back to dumb terminals. I’m not having any of it.

So you can spend more time working shit jobs for shit pay. Aren’t you happy? 😊

That would make too much sense.

If the tech works as it should, that’s what I care about the most.

Why the fuck would a McDonald’s app care?

Apparently 96% of elementary school children now have laptops they take home from school? I’m glad I grew up in an era when we all had our own computers not owned by the government. 😂 It seems like absolute hell to be a kid these days. Constantly monitored and tracked by adults who want you to remain pure and innocent forever, not allowed to grow or explore anything on your own. And they wonder why kids aren’t independent and don’t want to learn anything.

I don’t use Spotify, and I don’t have any friends who do either.

This is what they are looking for. They want to squeeze people so that they will snap. They will use any ensuing violence as an excuse to remove more of our freedoms.

I’ve been using Linux exclusively for more than ten years. You’ve made the right choice. As if you needed anyone to tell you 😆

“This will surely fuck me over in some way I can’t predict.”

They always seem to be testing the waters. Razvedka boyem is standard operating practice for Trump and his ilk.

Therapists notes are stored on computers too, you know…
