Same. Colossal pain in the ass.

The 2000’s.

Zeeky Boogy Doog!

What kind of a loser does this to someone?

Already switched the laptop over to Mint. Desktop to follow.

The problem is properly translating that from paper to digital. With a physical paper, you don’t even need to subscribe, you can just go out and buy one copy with a day or week’s worth of news.

Hopefully we will move towards a more equitable society, but Fascists also have a track record of exploiting the sort of instability American society has been faced with during this century so far. If we don’t handle this carefully, it could go badly. Which is saying a lot, given the last decade.

It’s still a warning sign that a large number people no longer feel peacefully working within the system can address societal issues.
