People still buy Lenovo laptops, Sony music, use Microsoft products and Google services.

No matter how loathsome and evil a company has acted towards their oysters, there will always be people who lined up to get shucked.

Which makes my incomprehensible notes to my future self an elaborate form of masturbation.

In an epic team up with Joss Whedon!

Whoa! Let's watch our word choice! Google doesn't abort things!

They keep them alive for 9 months and then will unceremoniously dump the corpse into a nearby river. Their PMs don't see the fun in killing something unless it's already been adopted by consumers.

The DLC was incredible.

Mayor Burt "fucking" Reynolds.

Damn my spelling!

I've been trying to satisfy my spouse by learning stealthy puns in Proto-Indo European. So now I'm a cunning linguist.

Off the top of my head...

Late 90s moved from Motorola 68k to Power PC.

Early aughts moved from PowerPC to Intel x86.

2020's moved from Intel x86 to ARMv8.

It feels like 10 years is a good prediction for when they'll shift everything again.

I'm no fan of Apple, but without a behemoth to force adoption of new architectures, we'd be stuck in the x86 duopoly for the indefinite future.

Blacklist the Nvidia driver and un-blacklist nouveau. I'm going from memory, but I think if you can get to GRUB, you can append 'single' to your kernel parameters. That should get you into a system with minimal drivers loaded.

Some of us do care.

A product directly bankrolled by Peter Thiel? A project, not concerned about blocking ads but rather making sure that it's their ads that you see?

If you're on iOS. Maybe the EU will bail you out and force Apple to allow other web engines.

If you're on Android, Firefox works perfectly well and Fennec is a fine fork.

If you're on anything else, Librewolf is fork of Firefox without all of the Pocket and other privacy hostile default settings.

Plus, if you're planning on using Wayland with any wlroots compositor, Nvidia is essentially a non-starter.

Biden and the Dems are right-leaning centrists.

Actual progressives caucus with them because what choice do we have? Refusing to do so effectively gives control of the most powerful nation in the history of the world to a psychotic doomsday cult who never met a minority that they didn't hate with all of their Christian hearts™.

Kinda makes me wonder if we'll ever have a proper left-wing party in this country since, at this point, saying that poor people should be given a 30 second head start before being hunted by their social betters is considered by Conservatives to be radical Marxism.

We did the same in 2016. I forget what happened as I lapsed into a 4 year alcohol fueled amnesia. But I can't imagine that it was too bad. /s
