100%. I own four thinkpads now. I have upgraded all of them with no issues whatsover. I crammed 16GB of ram and a SSD into my old X-230 and it outperforms my dad's brand new Dell. Although to be fair, I am using Manjaro and he is using Windows 10. I forgot how incredibly slow Windows can be.

What's wrong is systematic indoctrination by corporate-owned media has been wildly successful.

And every time Republicans get control, they threaten to end publicly-owned media because they think objectivity is "leftist." I suppose if you're shooting for as right wing as you can, it might look that way.

Technically this is an aspic, you heathen. ;-)

Thankfully the price of my YT free account is still only the cost of everything I've ever written in email or a web browser so all good 👍

Nonces and muzzies! Terrifying!

It just confirms what we in gerrymandered states already know- it will take a tsunami turned against conservatives to reverse the damage they've caused. It has to be so incredibly bad, even the guy across the street with the NRA bumper sticker thinks enough is enough.

this is what pulp fiction was made for.

These conspiracy pushers. It couldn't possibly be THEIR fault.

I hate these, too. I decided to put a compact computer in our bedroom (already a bad plan, I know) to quickly check the security camera at night (I rolled my own, no phone app). I plugged in a mouse I had laying around. I discovered the first night when this particular mouse does not have its custom drivers installed (gimme a break, this is Raspbian not Windows!), it freaking blinks, and in the dead of night it's as bright as a flashlight. Blink. Blink. All night long. I never noticed before because, wackily enough, I rarely compute in complete darkness.

I also have a USB desk fan I thought I might run at night and yes, it has blinky lights when charging. F that, I bought an old Caframo Dragonfly instead... best compact fan ever made, first produced in the 1950s.

I think I could get away with this at my office, as long as I didn't bring a shepherd's crook.

I really enjoyed hearing "enshittification" in the voice of Ian McKellen as Gandalf in my mind 👏👏
