There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

I read the last line that wrapped as “no internet connected” and thought, that’s hard core, man.
If you’ve got nothing to hide…
Oh right, that’s for the commons and not for those in power.
They also were surprised at how successful their plan worked out. It shouldn’t have been, but Bush got into office and opened the door.

They don’t negotiate with terrorists?

First thought - wait, he’s still making Far Side comics?
Then remembering this has always been a thing.
11·6 days agoGen-X quietly in the corner, remembering how they watched TV a lot too, but also mostly got kicked out of the house to play outside and “don’t come back in until dark”.
Edit to emphasize this wasn’t necessarily a choice we made for ourselves. Boomers (and the Silent Gen before them) wanted their peace from the kids, so we were on our own. Good and bad points to that kind of character building.
20·6 days agoPro tip - use the whole keyboard.
The internet has always been a cesspool of uselessness with a few gold nuggets to find. Some of the best information out there was in those old posts, from Usenet to Reddit, buried in shit.
This is, unfortunately, part of nostalgia itself. There’s a rare gem that is as good as you remember, but for the most part, your brain lies to you.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t revisit things, just prepare your expectations.

There’s more than one kind of backup in life, check them all.

Not Windows, but I got an almost new laptop out of a MacBook by putting Mint on it (and $15 of more RAM). Its biggest drawback is how much heavier it is than anything new. My next target is jailbreaking an old Chromebook I have.
