The most popular stable Linux distros are no more difficult to understand than Windows to the average and below average user.
Especially The two that I recommended for this exact purpose

Yes. My dad’s 74. I have no questions that hell have no problems.
My mom’s 71. Her last machine is a Chromebook because she asked me if there was a budget laptop she could get to just go on Facebook. She had no issues there.
“Hey pop, when you turn it on, it looks different until you get here. Just click chrome, you know chrome. Ok you’re good. If you need word, just click the search icon and type ‘word’.”
Also, if your dad is actually on the internet on Windows XP, you’ve failed already… Your inheritance is already stolen if it has any connection to the internet through that machine. Best of luck 🫡
This is so bad that I’m going to intervene with my elderly parents next PC purchase. Setup a Kubuntu or Mint machine for the using some refurbed wiped former windows 10 machines for a quarter the price.
If you have elderly parents, I advise you all do the same. There are threat actors that want to nab your inheritance before your parents kick the bucket.
I advise Kubuntu or Mint because they’re basically Linux for windows users.
Sadly I think it’s gonna be more like the Latvian potato meme.
Indeed is not an alternative to networking with people who work at companies you are interested in, no.
Ironically, Coursera requires govt ID to furnish certificates. I have a cyber security certificate sitting in limbo. I ain’t giving y’all my govt ID so I can obtain a cyber security cert. Seems like a trick!
Happened to my friend. Had to jump through hoops for months to get his acct back.
There is no real alternative for networking professionally. None id advise anyways.
I think it’s time to create a bot that creates accounts that posts musks face photoshopped onto random naked people.
Given Trump’s failure to maintain power when he had it, I have little faith the gravy seals will rise to an occasion while his opposition is in power.
Not saying it shouldnt be taken seriously… Saying it should be televised 🍿
I’m all for pirating, but tbh music streaming apps are a service that is still in the “worth it” range. Not where Spotify is going, but, maintaining a library of high quality music with all the assets, and serving it to all your devices over the Internet is not a small feat to do securely.
I’ll probably switch to tidal for now while I start building up my library to include stuff beyond what I like…
Not experienced? Don’t bite off more than you can chew unless you’re at least “athletic.”
You don’t need much to hike.
A water bottle. Plenty of water. Food is less important just have sustenance. Nuts, a couple protein bars… But man a backpack with a bladder/hose is nice. But also, consider weight.
Hiking shoes help, running shoes are totally fine. Skate shoes/chuck Taylor’s/work boots will cause issues over long distances.
If it’s hot, and over 10 miles, I recommend bringing a change of clothes. But again, consider weight/distance/experience.
Pace yourself. And pace your friends in your group. And speak up. Start slower than any of you feel makes sense. Get in gear. Find your pace together. Never start fast. If you’re not alone, my rule of thumb is everyone should be able to have a good laugh without needing to stop. When In alone I go “slow enough I’ll never have to stop”. So don’t push, unless like, that’s the goal.
Stretch often. Before, during, and after.
Lastly, if you’re getting winded, two tips:
By this I mean full inhale, exhale about 1/3. Inhale a bit, exhale down to about 1/3 remaining, inhale a bit, exhale to 0. Repeat. This will oxygenate your blood a lot better than staying up in that top 1/3, as we instinctually do.
That’s it. Start hydrated. Finish hydrated. Stretch. Go slow. Breathe. Hiking is easy.
As a millennial…yeah same. That was us. They’re still here. Somehow still alive and on life support.
Imagine if we built a wall to keep out Texans
Commence deflation.
Corporations caused it to go up, now they must cause it to go down.
This could get ugly. Guess what everyone, if we keep not shopping, they’ll do it again!
I definitely don’t think it’s the case, but damn, can you imagine if they were doing this to themselves to drive donations? That would be diabolical.
Gonna counter with Bloodbath - way more discernable vocals.
The the DNA brick wall we’ve been climbing is exactly that.
You’ve reminded me of some of my favorite hip hop lyrics of all time. If you never heard Eyedea before he died (27 club, I think?), Eyedea had Eminem level potential. Fucking incredible lyricist. If this tickles your fancy, go peep the album First Born.
Eyedea & Abilities - Man vs Ape
Move!
There’s no telling what I’ma do
I’m eighty-thousand years of natural selection comin through
You ain’t got as much aggression, possessions, weapons
I’ll be damned if I get outdone by the next man
If you’re beliefs are different than mine, then we gonna fight
Who needs peace when you can profit from being right?
I hold picket signs outside abortion clinic doors
Take what I want with force
And my God could kill yours
.
Involved with a species evolving so slowly
Genetically infantile, violent and holy
We think we’re so smart but there’s not much to know
Caveman is still alive behind those robot eyes
Fully controlled by ten thousand year old instincts
Hands on the war button, flinch and your world’s extinct
This is technology for the barbarian
I see the future: the past, we’ll be there again
.
Remember, the atom bomb came from the same place as poetry
.
Die dirty hippy commie scum, Christian, Muslim Buddhist, Jew
Democrat, factory-workin, college student you…
My nervous system don’t take no bullshit
Been dominating since the day I touched the monolith
I only breed with sex-symbol worthy women
They stay at home and cook while I go out a make a living
Don’t challenge my ego, don’t step on my shoe
Otherwise the next wake that you attend might be for you
.
Grindin’ my teeth as I’m battling uphill
The fight against ape-hood is fate versus free will
We think we’re advanced but there’s nowhere to go
Mammals stay captive to animal actions
So slowly we climb up this DNA brick wall
Addicted to emptiness, anger and pitfalls
Desire for space, territory, or lust
We’ll eventually turn this whole planet to dust
.
There can be no peace when man is still a part of it
.
Purpose, perseverance, wordless amoeba surface
To lead the first coherent paleolithic circus
Specific neuro-circuits link man and Neanderthal
However, recent bio-chemical imprints
conflict with primitive urges
It’s full blown ontological warfare
Murdering memories in the future two million years
Peace is a word we often say,
But it can’t exist as long as the ape is here to stay
These anarchists are so fucking lame.
What kind of anarchy supports banning books? Get bent ya twats. Y’all wouldn’t know anarchy if it slashed your tires.
As strange as this may sound… if you’re having serious technical problems, it’s the sales team you want to talk to.
Sales people have way more pull at tech companies than the engineering teams do. If your sales rep sounds an alarm, people listen. When tech support sounds an alarm, nobody bats an eye.
In this particular situation, they should be reaching out to cloudflare’s legal team. But, with their own legal team.
…cops?
I’m in.
Edit: aw. 🐷
