That’s why he fires all the judges, generals, FBI, dismantles the state from the inside and only appoints his blind asskissers/followers who will also be run over and forgotten when he no longer needs them…
Knowing the “orange shit” I think the only solution here is a bullet

Food for thought

I wonder which Anonymous twitter (X) account is real. Others believed that every single twitter account was fake while others stated otherwise. I have observed that the posts from these accounts include information that has already been available to the public. Only few contains confidential information.

They are not organized as a pyramid scheme
there is no main leader or boss

confidential/sensitive data is not published on TW especially since elon bought it , but it is done through other platforms.
You have to follow special teams that usually intentionally do not have the name anon in them.

but in general, you can follow these two

WARNING! @Jri-Creator is having a rant about Windows again! Until Windows get better, every new Windows Machine will make me angry.


I hate Windows 11!

Like, seriously, I wish Microsoft would stop shipping Ads and Bloatware with Windows. I don’t like Windows 10, but I would much prefer using that over Windows 11!

I purchased an HP Stream laptop today because my old UbuntuBook’s SSD is reaching it’s final days. I wanted to retire the UbuntuBook anyways. The HP Stream comes with “64 GB” (which is really 58.8GB) of storage.

Windows 11 takes up 53.2GB of that storage. Running my trusted Debloater brings this down to 49.2GB. I barely have any available storage for my works.

Later today, I’m definitely installing Ubuntu. I’ve used it for 4 years, and know my ways around it. DON’T TELL ME ABOUT ANY OTHER LINUX!!!

Considering that I managed Ubuntu to take up 11GB of my very limited 16GB on my UbuntuBook, I know that I will have enough storage for everything.

Maybe if Windows wasn’t so bad, I wouldn’t have to go and buy a 16GB USB Flash drive and download a copy of Ubuntu 24.04.5. (And use Rufus, and fight HP’s BIOS, and wait a half an hour)

I now declare my HP Stream a BlUbuntuBook. [Blue-Boon-Two-Book]

Long live Linux. Stay small, stay good.

If you see this, can you please answer this: What OS do you use? Do you hate Windows?

Can I just ask why would buy a laptop with 64GB? I wouldn’t even buy a phone with less than 256, let alone a laptop.

I use Windows 11 on my two primary computers, have 2 laptops with Win10 and 2 with chromeOS (Those I just use if I need a specific older program / want a lightweight device with an HDMI port for YouTube). I don’t mind Windows 11, but there is a lot of stuff I have to remove / undock / etc.

I didn’t have much to spend, and it was my Walmart’s cheapest laptop that doesn’t run chromeOS.

I miss Windows 7. In my opinion, Windows XP and 7 are my favorite Windows OSes. The time before In-OS Ads and Too Much Bloatware was amazing.

Nice distro, also nice that you dual-boot!

Your work doesn’t let you use Linux? (If your work laptop is BYOD, that’s not understandable for work to not let you Linux. If it’s work-provided, you’re still stuck.)

My old asus transformer only had a 64gb storage.

Its a work supplied laptop. and given that I work with and have access to consumer data (I work in credit reporting) they are very strict about what I can run haha

Why not consider a refurb laptop?
A thinkpad T14/15 Gen1 is so much better than that.
Works better with Linux as well…

I did consider a refurb, but I decided that it would be better to go with what I got. Walmart didn’t have any refurbs, and the nearest Best Buy was quite far away.

I don’t like delivery, because of the common risk of destroyed tech on arrival, I wasn’t going to risk it.

Im still using Windows 7 (I know, I’m an outdated guy).

Still, a really good Windows OS. True, it’s outdated, but there are still people developing for it.

Irronically thats what I’m looking at currently. I need a new laptop (my old one has died) but i’d like another transformer type one, so I can use it as a tablet for when I play D&D haha

I still love windows 7

We just need ~5000 members more…

Or we could celebrate 25,000 member special!

On my MacBook I’m limited to using macOS (though there is a distribution for Apple chips which requires dual booting), plus on my fixed PC I have Windows 11 because an app that almost completely automates my streaming flow still doesn’t have a Linux version and that one is still in development for ages… If I were to install Linux in the future I would go with Debian if I want stability or Arch if I want latest versions of everything, but I don’t dislike Windows at all; it’s just that Windows 11 uses too much RAM for my liking, even when debloated a little…

I could go with Windows 7 as well but my fixed PC doesn’t have support for it, so I’m limited to versions newer than or equal to Windows 10 or Linux.
