You can if it's DRM-free.

I know you have a hate-boner for Windows but having better overall security across all operating systems benefits us all, e.g. less botnets.

It does if you plug it into an outlet without the protection.

You can modify the Windows 11 iso to bypass the requirements. You can tick a checkbox in Rufus when creating the install media to have it do it for you.

I already have 30GB of math textbooks, I guess I'll just download another 70GB of textbooks on various subjects and sell them to students. Y'all gonna return after 5 years to a new Elsevier.

Yeah, I had been wondering what to do with the couple of bucks I used to give to Wikipedia.

You know what? You might be right; I never actually bothered to check if Cinnamon was heavier than Plasma, I just remember it feeling very stuttery when I last daily drove it. Admittedly, that was a very long time ago and GNOME was a complete shit show back then so Cinnamon probably just inherited some of its performance issues. I imagine all of that is fixed by now.

What the hell?! You got mine right!

Not really, but it would have been cool. Also, socials are 9 digits in the US.

I'm honestly not interested in 23andMe so I never bothered to fact-check so take this with a massive grain of salt but I did watch Linus (from TechTips, not Linux) rant about the privacy problems it has. I don't trust him about these things but I've also watched him rant in favor of letting the ~~spyware~~ consumer features of Windows stay on because they're so great and it's not that big of a deal, so 23andMe has to be doing something very, very wrong.

I just tell people "don't swipe unless you wanna see my dick" and that usually does it.
