it’s funny that a lot of people can’t try this because they don’t have windows 95 nor win95 hardware.

also: this might be an answer to industries reliant on windows 95 systems.

i sincerely hope that you’re at least as old as i am because that’s the only thing that could excuse why you have this deeply antiquated media literacy strategy since it’s the same one that i learned when i was in school.

this strategy leaves you woefully unprepared for today’s media landscape where easily available 3rd party media sources are captured and proof of it can be found in the examples like the inventing reality community that i shared with you in my previous comment; reading examinations of this capture by internationally well respected intellectuals like micheal parenti or noam chomsky; or by reading epstien files like document dumps that the american federal gov’t is forced to do as a result of the freedom of information act where they flatly admit to laundering misinformation through 3rd party sources like the new york times as well as creating entirely new sources with an ostensible 3rd party appearances/bonafides. i’m also sure you can see for yourself of 3rd party sources self censoring to maintain access to power like they did with colbert.

the truth of today’s media situation is that actors like the cia, mi6, mossad, and our repsective oligarchies are humans just like you and i are, so they’re just as aware as either of us are at all strategies to break free from their misinformation and have taken steps to ensure that the truly independent 3rd party sources are as difficult as possible for either of us to access as well as to understand.

P. S. We have a normal discussion here. If you can’t or don’t want to find liable source, you may simply state this and stop this dialog. I don’t force you spend your time on doing what you don’t like.

the biggest indictment of westerner – american in particular – media literacy stems from the fact that our governments have either been caught red handed or they publicly admitted to this behavior (eg freedom of information act) decades ago; yet we continue to collectively hold this misinformation as gospel nonetheless.

reading these document dumps myself in the same manner in which many are reading the esptein files right now will show you how much propaganda you’ve been unwittingly ingesting your entire life, as i had done and that’s why i shared my comment earlier; it’s my attempt to bring you to water as others have done for me in the most provocatively concise manner possible, but you’re the only one that can make yourself drink and i regret that i refused to do so for decades.

Social media is the current hotly contested battle ground for hearts and minds for the next few generations and it looks like you’re experiencing what happens when you accidentally barge into it w good intentions from the people that want you to stay out.

20ish years ago people would have been idly curious at the most about your hobby; now they’re trying bully you into giving it up.

let’s hope that there’s no sino-soviet split part 2: electric bugaloo

i’m willing to bet that the sources you consider “trustworthy” or “reliable” are backed by the cia, mi6 or mossad.

you could see screenshots of them doing this in the inventing reality community, but i doubt it’ll matter to you.

I just is the bank’s website; all of mine have mobile versions

It’s not done yet and will likely last for several more generations in the Americas

Every iteration of this server has been made out of old personal hardware that I stopped daily driving for the last decade or so.

I guess this time around, it says something about the reduced amount im spending buying personal computers.

Seems to have stalled

i envy you; every-single-attempt that i’ve made to purchase second hand has blown up in my face.

but the responsibility for that tragedy is by the party that made mobilization necessary in the first place.

then the question becomes do you blame the ukrainian far right government for shelling the separatists in the east of the country gaza style for wanting to succeed from ukraine over their fascist behavior or do you blame nato for breaking its promised against encroachment.

yes, they were consequential months and i disappointed myself just now because i had thought that i lucked out buying my laptop right before the AI RAM crunch hit; but i did an apples to apples comparison on laptops between framework 16 ai 7 350 based model and whatever laptop i could find with the same specs on amazon just now and found that the price delta is still roughly double.

i can understand paying extra for a laptop since i’ve been doing that since 2014 with buying linux first laptops and i felt it was worth it because i was getting something out of the price delta with battery/power management that rivaled windows and support that rivaled macs; so i can also understand how anyone could feel like the framework price delta is worth it also if repairability or quality mattered to them.

however the framework delta is so much larger than most of the linux first deltas so repairability and quality has to matter A LOT more than i’m understanding and that’s i why made my comment about the price keeping me away from framework.

it’s maddening how american sources over this story keep ignoring the ultra flimsy story/excuse that keeps changing from local officials since it proves that gov’t officials are operating behind the sheinbaum administration’s back.

but then again, i suppose it just par for the course for american media when they also gloss over ultra important details like mossad’s involvement with the epstein files.

i bought a laptop almost 9 months ago and the nemo brand offered a 32-gig, i7 equivalent amd, with a terrabyte harddrive for the same price as a 16gig, i5, 256 terrbyte drive for the same price; more than double in some respects.

up until a few months ago, i’ve been only been using linux-first companies because of battery life and power management and it spoiled me because i came to expect a windows/mac-level of performance in this realm.

i tried going back to a windows-first laptop most recently and the power management has definately gotten better under linux than it was the last time i tried in 2013, but it still leaves something to be desired like your lenovo laptop does and it makes me wish that framework were more candid about linux user experiences to justify the additional costs that they’re expecting from us.

price has been the one thing keeping me away from framework and it looks like that’s not going to change anytime soon.

it’s an accurate one; if the russians hadn’t invaded western ukraine would have become another gaza.

americans are unaware what our own congress said about the ukraine nazis back in 2011

i think i lack the necessary background to understand the implications of this.

you joke, but i was seriously going to do this until i learned about graphene and lineage.
