What I saw was young people saying and holding signs along the lines of "fuck Trump/ice" and "we're all in this together", while the older smiling grandmas were holding guillotines.

It was a good time, got some information on how to keep up the pressure, fun chants. Food trucks.

Looks to me around the time that Torvalds shaped up

Read the article. It was a normal traffic stop, there's a "communication group" the sheriff's office was on that ICE is part of, ICE picked up on it and decided to be fascists. The sheriff's have since removed themselves from this group because of this.

HP and Asus taught me that specs aren't all that important sometimes.

Well, there's also the protests happening in pretty much every major US city as well, so there's a third non-fecal choice of there

Shouldn't be too bad. It'll take a while, but you grab an example you have now in word, tweak it until it works in libreoffice and you're done. The biggest issue I've had was constant transitions between the two. If you just move to one it's a rough start moving, but once you're there you just edit as always. Word isn't even that great at keeping it's own formatting, so it won't be anything new except for learning a new program. it might get difficult once you get to links and embedding, I haven't tried that in libreoffice so I can't speak to whether it's harder or not.

Beyond that, you should be pdf-ing any finalized documents anyway.

You can set up a pretty robust backup system for pretty cheap if you already have the drives, and the knowledge to set it up yourself. I have two always on devices, an NAS that is my central location for important files, which syncs to a backup device with two hard drives that are synced at different intervals. If a drive fails, it gets replaced, and I haven't lost the core of my backups, I might lose some incremental backups, but it's more important to me that I have 3 copies available on different drives. 2 are in one location, the third in a separate location and my syncs are each an interation behind, so if there's a huge screw up, it'll take three sync cycles before the main copies are lost (not including the incremental backups I also keep).

This setup allows you to replace drives as they fail so you can constantly update with technologies and don't need to worry about what's the best medium.

If you're nearish ABQ, I've got a pickup I'm happy to help transport with. I unfortunately don't think I'm in the list of approved people, otherwise I'd be more than happy to take as many of those tomatoes as I could. Unfortunately I can't get my kid to eat cauliflower to save their life, so I have limited uses for that.

No it isn't. This is clearly a jab at the conservative 2A crowd.

It's not wrong, but a lot of people hate being harassed until they buy something.

Same. I've always added Ubuntu to my list of "where to start Linux" with a suggestion to move on once you get comfortable with how Linux works, but I think I'll be removing it completely from my recommendations.

I was mostly annoyed at the constant ads for their support in my server every time I logged in, so I moved over to Debian on that. Desktop was changed later on to fedora/opensuse for some reason.

If I may put on my conspiracy theory hat:

With all the DOGE-starlink-russia shit I've been reading about, I wouldn't be surprised if Russia has a data pipeline directly to the US government, no Musk required. I would guess it would be more of a "he might tell the US government what/how we know" which would require coming up with a new golden pipeline.

Kinda like how the Cheeto Taco unwittingly showed the world the US satellite capabilities in his first term by showing a picture. There's a lot of information Musk could tell the US about his visits with Putin, where if he was in Russia, the US is stuck guessing what made it out and what Russia has access to.
