Looking good like a blood cell should.

I tried to find this at work a while ago. I think MS killed it :(

Good write up, thanks!

You have to agree to do it, but you don’t have to lay out a plan or timeline to do it.

Taped mine to the back of my phone, hidden by the case.

Retirement age is one.

Antinatalism or anti-natalism is a philosophical view that deems procreation to be unethical or unjustifiable.

I’m the same. It is quite jaring to see an add now. They seems very obnoxious.

The only issue in have is ads in podcasts. This isn’t a huge deal as the provider usually determine add based on IP so i get a 30 second ad in a language I can’t understand.

Any solutions to this?

P.S. before I switched from YouTube I disabled all data collection and personalisation a few notable ads I used to receive:

• Ads for balls soap (this ad was repugnant)
• Ads for Muslim speed dating, with male chaperone (I’m not a Muslim)
• A 1hour Chinese party political conference, in Chinese (I don’t speak Chinese)

^ Ive got the last one saved out of curiosity.

I remember a time when YouTube was not owned by google and was ad free.

The internet was better before all of this tracking.

I’ve had a busy week and this triggered some hysterical laughter.

Thanks you for your work

You could read the Red Mars series. It covers some of the points you’ve raised albeit it is Science Fiction.

God that game saying “Find Nathan Gould” over and over.

Terrifying lol

Why do you say that?

How does one revoke a degree?

I think I saw this season of Westworld.

Not me topic!

Hat Chat podcast deep cut?

Thanks for the tips. I did some got training a few months ago but hadn’t considered using it for Linux configs.

That is good advice.

Thank you for your advice. I will take it. As a beginner, I’ll start with Mint.

Would your reccomend any other secure distro for the future?

Thanks for the reply. I’m fairy average Joe. I’ll mainly use this machine for downloading files and general browsing. I don’t have any personal files or accounts on that device.

I’m mainly concerned with neglecting to enable (or disabling) something critical or accidentally downloading something malicious (although this hasn’t happened for many many years).
