If I believed that an antichrist could exist, I would be convinced it was Donald Trump. He is the opposite of what Christianity teaches yet somehow he's become their Messiah.

I can't order Jimmy John's on my work computer anymore. Why? Because tiktok is blocked on our work network. What does tiktok have to do with Jimmy John's? Well I would have thought nothing expect it won't let you set your delivery option unless it's allowed to send data to analytics.tiktok.com.

Why is a God damn sandwich shop sending my location to tiktok? No idea, but it's definitely not just the video app that's the problem.

That's not true, there were several free antiviruses that were considered good back then. I'd say quality free antivirus were more popular in the mid-00s to late 00s than they are now after Windows defender got usable.

Well and the attachments we did send were rarely anywhere close to 2MB. Uploading 2MBs on dial-up was TORTURE, especially my shitty rural dial-up.

Not if they worked 24/7 and didn't ask for health benefits or retirement.

99% of the people in that office had absolutely nothing to do with the decision that upper management made. They are just working for a living. They didn't choose anything, they chose to not starve. Fuck off with punishing the entire work force for the greed of a few individuals.

Great news to have more options in the Enterprise Linux space in the future. Personally I'm going to keep running Alma at work since they've promised to keep working on security updates and watching the whole RHEL linux thing unfold.

I also have been paying for Premium the last couple years and I completely agree. I get more value out of my premium subscription than I do Netflix or Max. Plus premium supports the creators more than ads do.

Thank you! I feel like I'm the only person who lived through that time. Having everything on one site was way simpler, reddit sucks but that doesn't mean the concept does.

I do not miss having to sign up for a specific forum, wait for the email, no email, check spam folder, no email, 15 mins later email shows up in spam, go to post, "sorry you can't make a post without interacting with at least 5 other posts", post random shit on 5 other posts, finally get to post, "this question has been answered.
