  • Of course, it’s not an entirely unreasonable question to ask, and if they were asking it seriously, it could lead to some self-reflection and improvement.

    For example, maybe people are trying to assassinate Trump because he’s made it clear that he approves of assassination as a political tool, and he’s also made it clear that he is a worthless piece of slime. Maybe Harris just isn’t quite bad enough to rise to the level of murder to a bunch off morons.

    Also Harris hasn’t really disappointed anyone. I don’t think anyone who plans on voting for her believes she’s the second coming of Christ or any bullshit like that.

    However Trump is not leading a political movement. He’s leading a cult. When you find out your god is just some asshole, you might snap.

    When people ask me why I like Linux, my go-to reason is my main personal machine. I use it for everything I do outside of work, including running my Emby server.

    I built it from $500 worth of parts 13 years ago. I’ve kept updating the os and applications. It’s starting to slow down a bit after the last os upgrade, but it’s still plenty usable.

    I am getting concerned about the spinning platters. As far as I am aware, Linux won’t prevent an ancient hard disk drive from reaching the natural end of is life.

    It’s probably time to move on to a new machine. Well, new motherboard, CPU, RAM, and disks at least.
