liberals, less than one year ago:

I go to Discord to join the Mint server so I can stop spamming Hexbear with Linux questions.

The Mint fan server has a general chat I take a look to see what the users are like.

They're complaining about Twitter being a right-wing shit hole. Good, fuck Twitter.

They're also complaining about Tumblr.

They call Tumblr far-left.

They say fuck extremism from both sides(tm)

I close Discord and decide I'm just going to ask Hexbear when I need Linux help instead, spam be damned.

I remember when I had windows 7 that updates were ongoing until like....what, Windows 10 was out? In between 7 and 10 was windows 8 and that was terrible. I was hoping to hold onto 10 until 12 was out and that 12 would be better, but 10 is going to stop being updated in October and there's no sign of 12 coming any time soon (and no guarantee it'll be better than 11 to be honest).

I recall windows 98 was great (or windows 98 second edition), windows 2000 was terrible, and then windows XP dropped and that was fantastic again. I was thinking maybe we'd see the same pattern here, but apparently it's still too soon. I really don't want to switch to windows 11 (and don't anyone suggest Linux) but I may have to; additionally my current PC is apparently also not able to meet hardware requirements for 11 (which seems impossible; it's thankfully fairly decked out in the best stuff money could buy in 2016, which should still be powerful) so I'll have to get a new PC or a custom build a new one (I would rather a custom job to be honest).

And then of course you have to go through the steps to turn off as much of the crappy spyware they have going on in windows 11 too. This is genuinely going to suck.

О черт, что же мне теперь делать?

If this site disappears I want you all to know I lov-

I really hope someone is gonna lots of money for whatever they do to go to shit.

Alternatively it would be really funny if someone was prepared to pay like a grand for it, but then the old site owner swoops in and just renews it for the $12 bucks minutes before the auction ends

They fucking warned us. We didn't listen and they fucking warned us. Why did we laugh at them? We should have listened. Curse our hubris!

Do with this information what you will, but it's at least kinda funny that the site is now segregated across tech nerddom lines.

It's what the people want and you know it

Into the long, dark night.

It was an honor, chapo.chat.

This is too much snow and I would like to do things outside. I would like to replace winter with a second spring. If I get 10k signatures, Obama HAS to respond.

Trump is in office. There's a global pandemic spreading. There are protests in the streets.

What year is it?
