If you want your thing to last, and you can make your thing into a static website: You should.

You can now order your new ThinkPad with Ubuntu or Fedora Linux pre installed directly from factory. This is the perfect out of the box laptop for your dev job or IT pros stuff. Say goodbye to the "Windows tax" and hello to a powerful, fully optimized, privacy and data safety ready Linux machine.. unless you specifically require a Win11 environment. I think it is fantastic news for developers & IT Pros and I hear you can even upgrade BIOS/firmware using Linux. So there is no more need for Win11😉

You remember what a Palantír is in LOTR?

They were basically ancient magical network connections, that had been corrupted by the forces of evil into surveillance machine that also broke the minds of anyone who used them for extended periods of time, turning them into paranoid, delusional, shadows of themselves or outright tools of evil.

Anyway, just thinking about the symbolism of Palantír being the name of the company that powers the modern surveillance state in the US, don't mind me.

looking at the epstein ballroom that Microsoft "donated" money to and thinking back on how they used to get salty at me, a lone engineer, when I took too long to do my annual "compliance" training which involved watching a video and taking a quiz about how it's wrong and against company policy to bribe public officials for preferential treatment in business.
