FedCo has been good to our family over the years.

Beeper is partially open source and I've used it for many years now.

My 15 year old son is fascinated by digging into this era of music. I was in my mid-teens when these two songs came out. I believe that I missed them because bands like New Order, Depeche Mode, The Cure etc. overshadowed them.

Tres - Operator

Turquoise Days - Grey Skies

One of my favorite songs ever.

I understand and completely agree from someone who is knowledgeable about this subject matter. However, MOST people are NOT. To clarify again, (and this is something that is getting very annoying to repeat over and over again) the general public have almost NO knowledge about the differences between operating systems.

Microsoft Windows is heavily marketed and, for most of the general public that aren't aware of Linux, is a cheaper option compared to Apple/Mac/iOS.

I worked with/on Windows for two decades. Through those years I became more and more frustrated with the bugs and vulnerability to outside attacks. Windows is going to be attacked more, and for other reasons, because it is used by more people (a greater attack surface to exploit).

Back in 2008 I switched to Apple/Mac/iOS. I have never regretted it.

IF you have the time/knowledge (which most of the general public doesn't have) to use Linux, then I'd recommend it.

Please, stop with this 'fan-boy' shit about operating systems. Use logic and rational thinking which I believe that I've shown above.

The Dems must know that they can beat Trump with another nominee. Otherwise, they would not have been pressuring him to step down over the last several weeks.

...women coming to the polls to vote for their reproductive rights might skew the numbers more in favour of Democrats, independent of polling.

Precisely!

They better vote against all these christo-fascist MAGA nut jobs then.

Correct. We're moving to Sublinks very soon. Buckle up.

I've used Firefox for so many years...can't remember precisely. If there was a better option, then I'd be open to it.

Interesting back story incoming. My brother and I worked at one of the best restaurants (at the time) in Greensboro NC USA. My brother's roommate (Mike), for several years (1989 - 1992 I believe), had only a high school education. After working a shift at the restaurant, he'd return home and shut himself in his room for hours (this was almost every day). My brother inquired out of curiosity and Mike showed my brother his computer set-up and the types of digital graphics he had been working on. Mike sent a 3 dimensional application to a digital graphics arts school (I believe in Raleigh NC) and was immediately accepted. After easily completing this program of study (Mike was highly gifted and driven), he was snatched up by the company that developed Myst. He went from barely scraping by to making a substantial amount of money in the field he dreamed to work in.

We can still find engagement in small niche subs on Reddit. We've known, for many years, that people were going to move away from large corporate-controlled sites such as Reddit, Twitter etc..

The Fediverse is addressing this. It isn't a panacea. However, it is a re-imagining of what we want the Internet to be.

There are many others, that will come along after us, to address this further.
