I already have. Long before the threat of tariffs. I shop thrift stores, yard sales, and social media markets. I go to electronics recyclers and find perfectly good laptops that just need an OS installed.

I’ve had the same phone since 2017, and the same car for 10+ years, neither of which were new when I got them.

That only works until they find a leftist who is armed and fed up with their shit. Then they take the pine box challenge.

What’s a good VPN service? Is Proton still good?

Last I heard, torrents would leak your actual IP. Has that been fixed?

I’m so ready for this. I hope they release a sequel too. That ending really left it wide open.

Oh damn! Is it time for my colonoscopy already? Thanks for that reminder.

AI has already stolen everyone’s work. The internet is officially a free for all.

Substack has had a Nazi problem since its inception. At first, there was a liberal backlash, but they all eventually went there anyway.

I can’t wait to get a hold of a bunch of cheap TP Link routers. Those things run OpenWRT like champs.

Just those crotchety old timers who currently gatekeep the code base.

I borrow them from my library through the Libby and Hoopla apps. If I want to support the author, I’ll buy a copy through some other means. Directly from them, if possible.

We’ve already seen a few crotchety old timers who don’t want to add rust to the Linux kernel.

At some point, a complete rewrite of the kernel in a memory safe language would be prudent. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs will have to go extinct before that can happen.

I’m the last person to ask. Reddit banned my email and devices after I posted that “If you have the opportunity to punch a Nazi, you should ALWAYS punch the Nazi.”
