Debian is my go-to on my home box. Lol.
Doubly paranoid, doubly protected. Lol.
Personally, I use Chrome because it and Edge are the only browsers installed on my work PC.
At home, it’s either Safari on my Mac or TOR on my Linux box with a VPN.
My dude. All the feels right here.
This is why I use Linux at home, along with TOR and a VPN. I’m not doing anything other than looking up woodworking and camping stuff, but fuck all ya’ll for being nosy.
Of course it does.
Same here. I always said “ain’t no way I’m ever paying for what used to be free!”
Fast forward to political ad season and some orange peckerhead keeps popping up… “Alright, here’s your damn money. Now let me watch this autistic guy unclog drains in peace.”
Microsoft: “Please use Edge!”
Me: “No thanks!”
Microsoft, 6 months later: “Please use Edge!”
Me: “No, thanks.”
Microsoft, when I visit Bing: “Please use Edge.”
Me: “No. Thanks.”
Microsoft, when I open Outlook: “We will be opening links in Edge instead of your default browser. To switch back, go to your preferences.”
Me: “Motherfucker, I think we have a difference in viewpoints.”

The joys of planned obsolescence.
Debian Linux. Because it just works.
Runner-up: Mac OS. Same reason as above, but not free, so it’s #2.
Second-runner up: Free DOS because why not?
Distant last place: Windows, cause occasionally you need to call in your retarded cousin who is the only one that can do that one thing just right.
Historian here. Prove? No. Draw a highly likely conclusion that should accompany every telling as the most likely explanation? Yes.
I like the dystopian aspect. The economic one is meh.
My Side of the Mountain. Kid gets tired of family problems, runs away to live in the Catskills off the land on an old family farm. Befriends a librarian who lends him books on survival. He makes his own clothes from deer skin, catches his own fish with homemade hooks, lives in a hollowed-out tree, that sort of thing.
I am currently a bushwhacking bookworm. I suspect it was all that book.
I would adore having 1990’s Internet back. It wasn’t about media. It wasn’t about ads. Wasn’t about all sorts of flashy, colorful, mind-numbing drivel. It was just information, pure and simple. We still communicated. We still made friends around the world. But it was new, novel, and simpler. I remember when pop-up ads were invented and introduced. We thought that was bad. Little did we know what it would all turn into.
