> I'm somehow unable to identify the moment where the computer stopped being your kingdom

Phones started it, and Windows 10 followed (That's when I stopped using Windows). The only reason my kid still have a Windows PC is Roblox (but it is starting to work pretty well in Linux).

You can't be serious that the updates aren't worst in Windows... I finally got my 80yo dad to Linux because of them being ridiculous in Windows.

My problem with vote-by-mail is that they have to confirm that your signature is the same... and mine is not. I have been voting by mail but I don't know if they count my vote.

The main reason might be because the current government is republican and this forum is mainly democrat but that is just a guess... The admins also manipulate posts, votes and front page visibility so it is hard to say for sure.

I just purchased from Amazon but they gave me $100 to open a new credit card that I will disable in 1 month. (edit: actually, I think that I will disable it today so that I can re-apply more quickly)

you are underestimating kids... given a proper sized car where they can reach the controls, they do pretty good. My kid has been driving a 12V electric car from age two.

its a good time to cut the fat (but either way, that 25% probably doesn't include any of their real workforce, the landlords)
