    Yes. Go buy a new computer.

    Then give me your old computer so I can put linux on it and distribute it for free to students and immigrants.

      I like how almost everything we do now is in response to things going to shit.

      Lemmy - Reddit went to shit

      Linux (Desktop, anyway) - Windows went to shit

      Piracy - Distribution and pricing went to shit

      Jellyfin - Plex went to shit

      Emulation - Nintendo, mostly…

      Matrix - Just in case Signal tries anything… switchblade

        Monopoly was originally the Landlord’s Game and was designed to teach children the dangers of unchecked monopolies and growth in the concentration of wealth.

        Software and by extension, software companies are subject to those same Iron Laws of Oligarchy.

        Given enough time, everything turns to shit, and it’s up to younger, healthy, energized people to fight back the power creep.
