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?
AI has already stolen everyone’s work. The internet is officially a free for all.
I’m not a liberal. I just call the rot where I see it, and suggest it be cut out. Where’s Mario’s brother when you need him?
Unfortunately. I’d love nothing more than to be able to move my family out of the US.
Powhatan should have 💀 them as they came ashore. That’s one thing I would fix with a time machine.
I second this ~a 13th great grandchild of Powhatan.

Is it wrong to hope it hits the specific city I live in? 😅
Is it wrong to hope it hits us?
I did it a long time ago. The best time to change was 5-10 years ago. The second best time is now.
It’s time to de-Google, de-amazon, de-Microsoft, de-apple, etc.
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.
Go to an electronics recycling center and get a retired thinkpad (or 5). Once they’re decommissioned by corporations, they wipe the drive and send them off to be recycled.
