  • What if the cloud server corrupts your data in transfer or worse shuts down its server without notification. It can and has happened.

    For example, I had a cloud backup went to get it and the server could no longer be found. That was with Dropbox mind you. I lost 10gb of important files because of it. Never trust just one source of backup. Always have a secondary just in case.



  • I’ve been on Linux for 20+ years and have never had to rely on paid for support. The paid for support is really geared towards professional big business work stations and server stacks. If you need support for Linux you can find free support on their forums 99% of the time. It’s the IT departments with lazy techs that rely on Linux paid support.

    You are right about the Micro$uck hate though. Why should I pay to use an operating system on a computer I buy and use until it’s reached it’s EOL when I can use Linux to do everything you do on windows and I don’t have to pay for the software? In today’s economy, it makes sense to use Linux.


  • The creators are making money from the ads, they probably won’t abandon ship at yt unless they stop making revenue. A lot of the creators on yt rely on the ads to be worthwhile in creating the content.

    I agree, yt is getting stupid with their ads, from what I understand they are now including ads in the yt premium subscription aervice, which is supposed to be ad free mind you.

    As long as greed dictates content, creators won’t abandon ship, unless they can have ads on the alternatives to make money on.


  • i’m not an anti-vaxxer, ut I do refuse to have my DNA modified by a vaccine. Not only that the risks associated with the vaccines for covid are too high for my health. I’ve already had 2 heart attacks, I don’t need a vaccine to increase the risk of another one.

    during the pandemic, before the lockdowns were completely lifted, I wore my mask for the sake of others. Not all anti-vaxxers can be lumped into your last comment. Oh and btw, I’ve had covid twice, once before it was even listed as a pandemic, and it did not put me in the hospital, but it did make me feel worse than if I had the flu.

    also, on another note, I thought the vaccine was supposed to HELP defeat Covid? Obviously that was a lie. Everytime a new variant comes around, all of a sudden you need another booster shot which has not been “programmed” to help with the new variant. At this point the covid vaccine is nothing more than a cash grab for big pharma.



  • Personally, since kids seem to think that they can’t live without their phones, when you go into the classroom have the teacher pick up the phones and leave them on his or her desk in full view.

    They can have their phone returned at the end of the class period. This should be done in every school and class. Kids are failing miserably because they are more worried about their phone and what their friends are doing rather than learning.

    I also believe a child under the age of 15 should not have a mobile phone as there is too much negativity on the internet and social media platforms that they don’t need access to. Not to mention the free porn sites.

    We as parents are responsible for how our children behave. And most parents now a days don’t want to take the time with their kids to teach them responsible habits. Of course it is hard to teach responsible habits when your face is glued to a 6” screen doom-scrolling Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok etc.
