And then wait for the next right-wing psychopath to buy up that one? You can't jump off Twitter to another privately held platform and not expect the same to happen there sooner or later.

Not only wouldn't he see a punishment, but he'd be elected a second time to do it again!

A 20 year old car can be perfectly functional.

Not if the car manufacturers get their wish. They'd love to force you to buy a new car every few years. Having tech installed that becomes obsolete fast would help make you upgrade.

They won't, but they bought me a brand new shiny copy of Linux Mint.

That's a Canada goose. They get pretty big.

Definitely shopped though.

That's not hypocritical. That's reaching your target audience.

That's what you're for.

I ditched Microsoft on my new build back in Feb. I installed Mint and it's been a really smooth transition for me. I can still do everything I used to, although I know there are some use cases where it's a problem for people. All the games I've tried run well.

But it does give me peace of mind that someone isn't going to change my settings in a way that benefits them in a patch. I feel like I'm working with my OS to get things done instead of wrestling against what some corporate MBA wants.

All those sci-fi novels were meant as warnings not instruction manuals

You're in a thread about MS fucking up and you're annoyed that people are... [Checks notes]... complaining about MS fucking up? What exactly did you come here expecting?
