swiss people can't swim, silly

me if i was Tails, or "The Amnesic Incognito Live System", a security-focused Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at preserving privacy and anonymity against surveillance, which connects to the Internet exclusively through the anonymity network Tor and is designed to be booted as a live DVD or live USB and never writes to the hard drive or SSD, leaving no digital footprint on the machine unless explicitly told to do so.

fitting, considering HP products are ass

yeah lmao. the article itself is not that bad, but gosh, the title really does make it seem like these people have never ever heard of the exotic and far-flung country of... Hungary, ever.

The Warrior's bland acronym, MMI, obscures the true horror of this monstrosity. Its inventors promise a new era of genius, but meanwhile unscrupulous power brokers use its forcible installation to violate the sanctity of unwilling human minds. They are creating their own private army of demons.

Greenway suggests that the Wobblies stumbled upon this modus operandi as a means of combating the street bands of the Salvation Army and the Volunteers of America, who frequently would drown out Wobbly speakers in a "cacophony of cornets and tamborines." One enterprising IWW organizer, wishing to combat the forces of obscurantist "pie in the sky" theology, "retired long enough to organize a brass band of his own.

Alright, this is too good to be bait, so I'll just say it straight up: CBT on the internet always, always means Cock and Ball Torture. Always.

Crawl OST by Alex Yoder. All his other stuff is pretty good as well, but this one is my absolute favorite. Too bad he doesn't release stuff very often.

"You will eat, by and by, in that glorious land in the sky, way up high. Work and pray; live on hay. You'll get pie in the sky when you die! ...That's a lie..."

i don't want to sound mean here, but the whole point of an invite system is that only relatively trusted people can get in. giving invites away to anyone asking for it would mostly defeat the point.

There are numerous ways to deal with it, depending on the specific application and use-case. For some, there's an open-source alternative that, while not 100% similar in every aspect imaginable, does offer basically the same functionality (LibreOffice for MS Office Suite, Thunderbird for various email clients, Firefox or just Chromium for Google Chrome). For others, you can use an emulator (WINE, for example). For games specifically, Steam offers an emulator that works for most games (Proton); in fact, all the games I've tried worked. Then, there's the very last option, which is using a virtual Windows machine within Linux. I mention it last because I honestly haven't found many cases where I absolutely needed to do this, and because the set-up is rather "involved", shall we say. But if you're using Adobe Suite stuff then, yeah, you basically got no choice there.

Would you mind listing some of the essential programs that you use so we can get a better idea what your workflow is?
