I mean, alright if you insist! Sounds like a fun date idea.

“C’mere Susan, let’s roll up and then roll over in the clover.”

I know a couple younger dudes named Ira (35yo or less). Still sorta popular among Jewish circles, and not even both of the Iras I know are of Jewish origin so it seems others still use it too.

Thurl (as in Ravenscroft.)

Good. I don’t trust them dern robuts.

I was here 2y before the exodus, it’s absolutely not just the newbies. Maybe some other -ies…

I for one welcome the shit out of the newbies, I’m thankful to have them and want more, and for them to bring their niche interests with them. They help filter some of the toxicity out.

Fridges 100% die, they’re made to now. If your fridge is really that old and you can manage it, NEVER get rid of it, tell your parents to leave it to you in their will lmao.

no u

You HAVE to be trolling lol.

Just in case you’re actually unaware and not just bullshitting,

Right ok… But what’s on the other PC for for an OS? And why should we bother having another one on a different OS assuming we can afford extra hardware?

Came off snarky, thus rude, and is why I returned it in kind. If you weren’t trying to be rude and it came off that way by mistake, my bad, but it definitely seemed intentionally and unnecessarily snarky.

Well since this thread is about computers unable to run windows 11 due to HW restrictions, meaning they’ll be insecure when the EOL is reached, the point would be “to keep your personal computing secure.” If you’re upgrading to w11, why are we even talking about w10 EOL? Just upgrade then, what’s the problem?

Furthermore, if your company provides a computer at all, you may wish to have your personal computing done on something without their monitoring programs installed. Idk about you but my work doesn’t need to know I googled “boobies” at 10pm on tuesday, or whatever.

Finally, because while upgrading to a computer that can run w11 is costly, buying a used computer off a friend who is upgrading is much cheaper, linux being much less resource intensive and able to run securely and receive critical security updates on cheaper, older hardware can be beneficial to someone who can’t upgrade to w11 due to cost, or who is being forced by their workplace into using w10 (or even w11 with company spyware, really.)

Did I hold your hand well enough this time or are you still confused and being rude about it? Sure, maybe YOU don’t care about security, and in that case you shouldn’t, just run XP who cares, but for those that do it is an option.

I thought we were talking about linux being involved, so that. Why? Because of the whole “not receiving security updates” thing w10 will be doing, y’know the whole thing this thread is about, did I have a stroke?

Well, get good I guess.

Honestly I figure “work computers” are often overlooked because many companies force windows for their spying “productivity monitoring” apps.

That said, there’s always “having a work computer and a separate secure personal computer.” The linux machine doesn’t even have to be particularly powerful, it could be whatever old used machine (w/o nvidia) you can get your hands on.

If whatever programs you need don’t require internet access and you aren’t at risk of evil maid attacks then it hardly matters if win10 isn’t secure. It definitely isn’t ideal, but if the options are:

A) Do all your personal stuff on linux and only boot w10 when you have to, offline.

B) Only have w10 and run hope.exe for security.

I’d choose A.

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley. People can be creeped out by things that don’t creep you out, you know.

And what, you like junk mail that is 100% just a waste of resources in a world where we’re hurdling towards total climate annihilation? It could have just as easily been an email everyone ignored rather than a mailer everyone ignored.

Well, being read rather than said, I’d argue the tone is inferred by the reader.

And in any case, as a privacy focused individual, I’m not exactly crazy about either. I’m also not crazy about junk mail, so junk mail that implies it’s watching me in any form, I double don’t like. Y’all killing trees for this fucking bullshit?! No thanks.

“But the fact that you voted is pubic record” implies “we’re paying attention and could hassle in some form those who abstain if we choose.”

(Well, that’d be the argument for “threat” in the above text anyway. Imo threat or not it’s poorly worded leading to it being creepy, but that’s probably the extent of it. I doubt we’ll see any side round up and execute abstainers or some crazy shit like that.)

It is still kinda (I’m assuming there’s some record federally for verification or something, but…), just don’t tell anyone.

Anytime someone asks me I say I’m voting for A Turkey Sandwich, or Bugs Bunny, or “Your Mom,” etc, just something dismissive that sends the hint “that’s private, quit asking.”

Fuck yeah I’d live there! I’ll be fine.

Even if you do, the people who incessantly post about him do their best to evade your filters and make you read about him anyway. Most often they just refer to him generically without using his name, or they’ll misspell it like mysk, or call him something like “muskrat,” or it’ll be in the pic/comments but not the title/OPpost, or it’ll be about tesla, the cybertruck, whatever the hell musk adjacent shit I don’t care about, etc.

I wish you luck. If you succeed please share your tips for the rest of us, it’s just so goddamn omnipresent and I’d like to filter it too.

Gantz eh? Ok, I’ll add Elfen Leid.
