Tiktok is the type of social that is meant to redirect people elsewhere, I don’t know, I think that this could work with the Fedi. Tiktok doesn’t really pay it’s creator well AFAIK.

You’ll still need respect for that to happen, which is what I’m referring to by “living together.” Don’t have to be friends, but you got to compromise somewhere.

To be perfectly honest, I’m worried about what the US will do once their political capital weekens more internationally while they sit on the 130 odd military bases abroad in 55 foreign potentially ‘hostile’ (to US interests) territories (if they don’t eat their own first ofc). Public trust has already embraced it’s fundamentally rotten core and rightfully so. The social contract is in shreds between the government and it’s people. Something will crumple and it will be ugly. I don’t think Kamala is much of an answer either, but at least it may buy time for circumstances to change. Americans have to learn to live with each other, one way or another.

I switched to LibreOffice Calc. I program my sheets and don’t need all the bells and whistles of Excel.

Use Mint and it will be less frustrating.

It is an aggregator, pedabytes.

South America also has a huge body of work on this.

Windows Debloat Tool:

I run this on any new Win install. I also suggest Portmaster so you know where your data is going.

However, if you can, it is really worth switching to Linux. Linux is built as a tool by the people using the tool. Windows is making a product. Enough said.

If people would like to “try Linux before you buy,” check out DistroSea. It spins up a virtual machine of whatever distro and flavour you choose to try.

There are a surprising and growing number of Linux compatible tools. Software is usually why people have a hard time switching. If you’re dependent on Photoshop/Adobe, check out:

Gamers should check out:

This site shows how well games run on Proton (compatibility tool) and people offer solutions to get them running if there’s any snags.

I admire the hell out of natural engineers. Elon isn’t one. Your brother is.

Seconding.

They’ll be back.
