I recently put Windows 10 on my Oryx Pro #Linux laptop. YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT :P

Facebook needs to be kept on a VERY short lease. They also need to be held accountable for their actions. They need to be destroyed.

urls often contain tracking information added to the end of them. when you are linking articles, stuff like the "utm_source" and "fbclid" sections allow people to track where you got the link from and how you are spreading it. this allows cops & corps to map out social groups.

while you can remove that stuff by hand, there's a firefox/chrome addon called "neat URL" that comes with an existing blocklist that automatically cleans off a lot of that stuff.

Listening to Led Zep III. Totally forgot how dang ACOUSTIC this album is. It's so nice.

Gonna take the whole "Don't scab on prime day" moment to promote one of my favourite alternatives to an amazon product.

The Movie Database is a free community-run alternative to IMDB, unlike amazon's shitty website, TMDB isn't full to bursting with ads, trackers and sluggish JavaScript, and provides an excellent platform for folk to catalogue information about their favorite films without being marketed to.

Please support it, not just on prime day, but any time you need info on a film. Keep information free.
