Digital is noisy af. When we switched from analog to digital at work (same radios, just a software upgrade) they started to interfere with loads of equipment.

If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to hide.

I wonder if this message will hold now that the shoe is on the other cock.

Spent all of my retirement savings to buy 1/4 of a house that will take 30 years to pay off. If I'm lucky I can start saving again when I'm 65.

Some of them were holding Trump flags, while others were screaming expletives about the government and the media.

He really is a dink but these guys make everyone look dumb.

That does explain my dislike of semicolons and case-sensitive variable names.

Electrician here, came to upvote, realized I should be posting. My formal computer training ended with Java and qBasic in 2003.

Oooo, while I do feel that I am very aware of, and hostile to, intrusive advertising online I have actually bought a few things specifically because I had seen them in an ad. It makes me feel a little conflicted but all of those things were extremely niche, so it took extremely targeted ads for things I would have eventually found on my own to actually make the sale.

I originally switched out of privacy concerns, not that MS or someone else was stealing my personal data and work directly but that it would just inadvertently get leaked with some massive cloud fuckup as seems to happen regularly.

Since then I prefer it just because I can run it on decades old hardware, it's consistent between different versions of the same Distro (W7 through to W11 gives me anxiety), and I don't have to worry about a hardware change invalidating a product key so I have to re-buy my damned OS. Shit, yeah, it's an ideological thing.
