But if you earn over the threshold, you’re expected to pay taxes to the US government, no matter where you’re actually living or working, no matter if you’re also paying taxes wherever you currently are. The US is the only country in the world to assert that it has the right to tax its citizens remotely in this manner. It’s not normal.

Which society?

The death of local news plays into this too as it becomes much more difficult to stay informed about the people and politics of those smaller local elections.

Case in point: my county had a bunch of judges up for election and when I did my reading on them I found out about a huge corruption scandal playing out right now. Nothing that will make national headlines, probably. If I’d just read the recommendations I’d not have heard, and voted those bastards back in. Local news is super important.

He won’t, though.

I think that’s quite a stretch.

I assure you, it is not.

For wanting to leave a legacy that will last, and a message for anyone or anything that finds it? No, that’s not insane, that’s understandable, I think.

What will determine the insanity quotient is the message you want to inscribe.

Za-zoom.

IT here, please don’t drag us into this… unless you’re looking for help. We enjoy malicious compliance just as much as anyone else.

Great, now all those good-looking emergency personnel are going to be tied up answering marketing calls instead of driving out in their nicer vans to help up elderly people who’ve fallen.

It’s funny you say that, because in my experience what you’re describing is Arch. Mint, meanwhile, was the first time I’d used Linux and had it “just work”. What distro are you using that you don’t have to “fiddle-fuck around” with it at all?

No joke, that’s the distro I’m going with 🙌 Mint is great!

Even if all the processing remained on my devices, I still wouldn’t want or trust it. Microsoft could change that policy at any time, claim something like my logging in to my local account constituted agreeing to their new terms, and expose screenshots of my password manager in an unsecured public data store.

Fuck Windows Recall, and fuck Microsoft generally for being so fucking awful to their customers but mainly fuck them for forcing me to finally make good on my threat to switch to Linux. I’ve been using Windows for over thirty years and switching off their spyware for ten, but this is the final straw.

This worked, thank

If you knew why you got downvoted you wouldn’t have had to ask. But you asked, and you got an answer; what you think isn’t really relevant.

Must have been run by those parrots

Oh, don’t you worry, they’ll identify themselves for you without any additional encouragement.

My eyes and ears revealed the double standard, for it was glaring.

The real Satan was Ticketmaster, all along!
