It's just like any other investment, they expect to get more money out of whatever they invest into his campaign.

Google told me they really care about my privacy, tho.

Nah, a billionaire is a billionaire. There's still people being exploited to get that much money. I don't completely disagree, though - at least Gaben didn't make Valve completely evil and yeah, it's better than fucking up the property market for generations of people.

Neigh. The picture is only showing from the (human) wrist down. Horse legs and most (all?) mammal quadruped legs actually pretty closely resemble each other.

This is where I'm trying to get to. Any new software I try to make sure is foss and linux where possible. It's just a bit of a pain with music because there's a lot of tools I've bought over the years and would like to continue using.

Yes, I've been trying hard to squeeze some linux into my life, currently trying to turn an old laptop into a little music machine for jamming with on me midi keyboard. I've run across quite a few issues just trying to get specific software working. I did cave at one point and try to use windows 10 but their installation media tool would fail every time I tried and the hardware is too old for windows 11 lol. It also triggered my gag reflex just thinking of all the ads it would feed me and all the bullshit I'd have to disable to make it respect my privacy. A number of different distros just worked flawlessly, though, and if all I needed to do was simple computer things and web I'd be laughing.

Yeah, there's still some other little things, but it's surprising just how good the out of the box experience is, especially considering how little support the project has had from hardware and software vendors.

Linux is honestly great, literally the only things holding it back is programs supporting it. I'm painfully tied to a select few windows programs for work and hobbies, Wine tries its best but programs need to start supporting linux before proper adoption can kick off.

That's a great point. AOC has more experience than Trump did when elected.

Yes, I agree. I'm trying to rid myself of as much as I can, but unfortunately it's not always practical.

This could just be some ignorance on my part, I am probably using words wrong.. I live in Australia. We have more than two parties but as far as I know it's only ever been labor or liberals in power. I know technically it's liberals/nationals, but y'know. It's mostly just that the majority of people seem fine voting for one of those two.

Even if they're not paid for reviews are a terrible way of knowing if you'll enjoy a movie. They're so subjective. I just ignore the entire movie review system and watch the damn movie. I don't even do trailers because they so often give the entire plot away. Pay attention to what you enjoy - actors, directors, cinematographers. It's not too hard to find stuff you'll likely enjoy.
