I'm certifiably insane, have a doctorate in frustration, and many studies published of "Oh, fuck, what is this? I don't have time for this now, I have shit to get done".

Good luck.

Without a VPN, your ISP will have some level of meta data. It may be as little as you did a DNS lookup of a pirate site and downloaded 2.14GB of data from that site.

Is that illegal? Depends on what country/state you are in.

One shop I was at had a manual process going with cash only purchases.

That blew up when I ordered 3 things and the 'cashier' didn't know how to add them together. They didn't have calculator on Windows available🤣

I told them the total and change to give me, but lent them the calculator on my phone so they could verify for themselves 🤣

The simple way is to dual boot or even simpler, set up a Linux distro in a Windows VM.

Let's you play/see if the distro works for you.

TBH, I've got 1 machine where Windows is more problematic than the Ubuntu that is setup to dual boot... Can't bring myself to do a fresh install of Windows lol...

Yeah, I realised that, but couldn't resist it for the lols.

I think it could score a perfect zero by both not correctly comprehending and being offensive to whoever had the misfortune of marking it.

Artificial satellites? Just for fun, I'm interpreting that as fake communication satellites, so:

'Unlike traditional communication satellites, artificial communication satellites are not launched into space via costly rockets using environmentally unfriendly propellents.

Instead, Artificial Satellite Systems (or ASS) make use of artificial intelligence to communicate via Frequency Adjusted Radio Tower Systems (known as FARTS).

FARTS allow for rapid, ASS to ASS communication. Additionally, Multiplexed Over/Under The Horizon' allows for increased speeds if ASS to MOUTH is enabled.'

Yeah, but did you include any biobs?

Offtopic, but what do you use for music?

Jesus Christ.

I use the calculator in Ubuntu tor very simple purposes. It was crashing on me every time I opened it.

I tracked down why.

It was trying to get a foreign currency exchange rate file - which I was horrified that you'd think about even having in a calculator.

The reason that was failing? Because I had a VPN enabled.

And it wouldn't even fail gracefully. Nope it would poof, disappear.

The fix is to disable vpn, and disable foreign currency in the preferences.

I was so pissed off. And on the next upgrade the same thing happened, which I'd forgotten all about, so went through it AGAIN!
