Something adjacent to degoogling: I am concerned that Microsoft would collaborate with the Trump Regime. I never used Linux before, but I am now downloading Ubuntu. It feels like that I should do a dual-boot setup and get ready to abandon Windows if I hear about MS HQ in Washington having a DOGE presence.

Here’s hoping that Europe and the Blue States are watching Microsoft for anything weird.

I started turning my American Dollars into Euros. Here’s hoping that mitigates the economic damage that will come from Elon’s stupidity.

Honestly, I don’t like messing around with money since I don’t really understand it…but if I don’t, I fear that I won’t be able to get onto a lifeboat. It also makes me feel silly being proactive. Here’s hoping my Blue State would either vindicate or placate my fears.

I play all kinds of old games, Japanese games that require patching, and use mods. That technical stuff is why I haven’t tried Linux yet, because things are already irksome with a well-known OS. I don’t want to imagine what edge cases on Linux could be.

Unfortunately, I might be forced to make the switch if Microsoft decides to ally with the Trump Regime. 😱
