I was going to cancel my Max and Peacock account but my niece was still using it. I pay for Nebula, YouTube, and Spotify but I use them enough to feel that it’s worth it.

None. I use HTTPS websites that protect my data.

Most modern ones it’s just commands you have to run. You can usually find an easy walk-though on the MrChromebox website. I haven’t seen one that required a jumper or anything in a LONG time.

All of these machines make for decent Linux laptops. I picked up an EOL Chromebook for $35 last year and installed Debian on it. Decent little machine. Not terribly fast but very useable.

BitTorrent. I only need to share a file once and it could potentially reach millions of people. It’s old tech now but it feels like magic to me.

Are you trying to get them killed? Ferraris are expensive death machine.

You don’t need to rely on large tech companies. The web is for everyone.

I pay legally for:

• YouTube Premium
• Peacock
• Max
• Spotify
• Global Comics

I also have a monthly pass at a local theater chain and see new movies almost every week.

BUT I torrent everything else. Sorry, Universal, I’m not going to pay $24 to rent Fast X.

Yeah, they’re always outside the Steakhouse picketing. Running at me constantly with a fork full of green vegetables.

THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT I CONSTANTLY HAVE IN REAL LIFE.

The Lemon Party. 😉

Installed on my laptop and it’s solid and actually feels very snappy. I’ll be getting it installed on my work PC this week.

My chill and waste time games.

• Lego’s Builders Journey
• Sims
• Untitled Duck Game
• Gnome Mahjongg
• Sonic 1
• Mario Bros 3 (NES)

All of them. Every distro can run any desktop, so all of them.
