I meant to reply the other day, but I've been changing operating systems. For some reason, I've been experiencing random restarts—I suspect it's a RAM issue, or perhaps the old graphics card I have installed. The fan was running fast, so it could be the heat sink, etc., but whatever it is, I think the system I'm on is reaching its last days. It doesn't matter much because I have a reliable old junker in the closet I can bring out. However, it's a pain to move everything over.

It sounds like "genocide" is the right word, at least after your description. Aesthetic genocide is what's happening, among many other things—turning human-centric art/music/architecture into boxes devoid of humanity. They want to remove the human element from everything because they're all anti-human. I'm getting to the point where I can feel their hate for anything that has love in it. It's sad, but at least we can see them for what they are.

About Louis Rossman—he's a real treasure, that one. I've been following him for years. It's astounding what big tech is getting up to recently with their terms of service—the blatant disregard for the customer is truly amazing. But they get away with it time and time again. His recent talk about HP, which I know is a brand he always criticizes, really does show that HP/printers as a company have been doing diabolical things to people for decades, and no one holds them accountable. My first printer was an HP piece of garbage, which I knew was designed to suck money out of my pocket—there really is no such thing as a modern printer designed to print anything; they are designed to sell hyper-price-gouging ink. The company used to have a somewhat good reputation with HP/Compaq—I remember the old systems and how you could take apart the case, and it would have hinges on it, etc., and you could work in it. Now look at the junk they put out. You can track consumer relations just based on the cases they used to put out and what they have turned into—but it's like that with everything. As I've said before, consider the fact that things used to come with a manual. Now you buy something, and there is nothing inside. The same thing goes for every company and their drivers—you have to go to third-party websites most of the time for drivers for Windows. Thank God everything is in the Kernel with Linux, almost.

CO2 is indeed a life gas, as you say. It's amazing how the fraud continues. I would love the planting of more trees, but strangely, the only thing that can possibly fix climate change is money sent to shady orgs that have no oversight. Funny that.

Thanks, as always!
