So, this is the place where I’m going to be generally hanging out and trolling around, while my Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Blacksky accounts are going to be primarily art posting accounts.
I’m also going to start to be active more on here than on lemmy.org, so I’m making this my primary Lemmy account now.
I’ll link the other socials I’m varying levels of active on below, plus my lemmy.org account which I’m demoting to my secondary account if that instance is going to be more unstable from now on.
Sebo stuff is also built really well too, or it better be given it’s commonly abused in commercial settings; think hotels and schools and the like, plus bypass designs like what Sebo typically uses mean sucking things up like coins won’t break your machine, vs. direct-air designs like what Kirby uses in which sucking up hard objects will break your machine.
Just buy a normal vacuum since those can still be used without web connectivity. Avoid anything made by TTI if you want your shit to last though. Also, avoid Kirby and Rainbow due to their scammy business model and extortionate pricing (seriously, quad figures for a vacuum is ridiculous even without the scammy business model).
Do you think IBM wouldn’t make Red Hat completely proprietary if they had the chance?
Adding to this, Google would make Android fully proprietary in a heartbeat if they could, given they’re already closing down more and more portions of the AOSP.
And conceivably all it would take to turn Android fully proprietary ala Windows, is to hard-fork AOSP to keep the Lineage/Graphene/etc. users happy, and then rewrite main Android as closed-source.
That won’t be of much good should Tor or I2P get taken down too, and a major Tor exit node operator recently getting arrested doesn’t spell anything good on that end.
I’m an old head, having daily-driven Linux since 2012, and so far it’s been great. And the current pathetic state of Windows further reinforces my resolve to not go back to running that OS, or when or if I do end up running it, only doing so in a VM or on a secondary machine.
Due to the downward spiral Windows is going on right now, it ain’t touching baremetal on my main system, and that includes LTSC.
