    Back in my day you could turn on the computer and operate it without anyone knowing. Our “internet connection” was demonic screeching from hell on the telephone and you didn’t need it to play solitaire.

      I miss those early days.

      Computers were weird magic boxes with all kinds of zany and crazy shit you could put in them.

      Games were just graphically impressive enough to lose yourself in, while not needing a super computer to run them.

      The internet was a curiousity for nerds and not a corprotized information hoover adpocalypse hellscape for the exploitation of the masses.

      Linux exists. Made for you, not money. For Microsoft user experience is just a side effect in getting profit. It can well be replaced with marketing, as Microsoft has demonstrated.

                How can you use the internet then? The internet is like a mirror, you have to have a soul to use it.

                whose soul do you have and how did you steal it from them?!
