That’s not freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech means you can criticize the government without fear of repercussions.

Last I checked, reddit ≠ government

Because kei trucks are obviously death traps

This is just a list of “but I’m not winning so it’s not fairrrrrrrrrr” whining (whinging?)

My mistake. The concept of “doing taxes” is usually US-specific, I don’t really hear about that kind of thing from users in other, more civilized countries.

Genuinely curious though… Why use a VM for taxes?

Thanks for the new rabbit hole 😂

You do your taxes on a VM? FreetaxUSA works just fine on Linux.

I mean, I pirated the Windows 10 installation on my gaming PC. Massgrave scripts helped out though, so there’s that.

That said, I’m wiping Windows soon and installing LMDE. It’s the last Windows PC in my house (minus W11 work laptop - that doesn’t count though).

Windows 10 LTSC gets updates for a while longer. I forget the exact number, but I wanna say it goes into the 2030s?

I’ve been daily-driving Linux Mint (LMDE 6) on my Thinkpad T14 G1 for almost a year now. At this point, that laptop is easily the most dependable machine I’ve ever had. My gaming PC is the last remaining Windows machine in my house. Recently I’ve been making sure everything is backed up (Syncthing is great for this) and finding alternatives for programs that don’t have a Linux version.

My plan is to create images of both my SSDs (500GB & 2TB, both NTFS 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️) onto a 4TB hard drive. Then start from scratch, migrating data from the images (Steam games, config files, personal documents I may have missed, etc) when/if I need it.

An immutable distro would be ideal for this kind of thing. ChromeOS (an immutable distro example) can be centrally managed, but the caveat with ChromeOS in particular is that it’s management can only go through Google via their enterprise Google Workspace suite.

But as a concept, this shows that it’s doable.

TL;DR - Because people are stupid.

One of my coworkers (older guy) tends to click on things without thinking. He’s been through multiple cyber security training courses, and has even been written up for opening multiple obvious phishing emails.

People like that are why company-owned laptops are locked down with group policy and other security measures.
