Summer is here and with that comes garage sales! I went looking around and found this beauty, for $10!!! When i went to go purchase it, the very nice 60ish year old man, Boldly said and proclaimed "it doesnt run windows, well it cant because it only has 2gb of ram. but its still a usable machine" So he then said the phrase that every nerd begs to hear, "do you know what linux is?" Me and this man talked for almost and hour about linux and the enshitfaction of windows. He did install antix a lightweight debian based distribution GNU/Linux/SystemDeeznuts distribution on it. and said he ran Antix on his main computer for daily use, I sadly did not ask what his main computer is :(. But i just thought it was so cool and sureal to meet a linux user at a garage sale, like you go to foss conventions and you expect to see some the the nerdiest people that have roamed this planet. But this guy was just so cool, i beckon all the time about windows is a inflated rotting corpse. although i still need it for fusion 360 sadly :(, it was really fun to talk another person so passionate about linux IRL.

Read that as five years of major OS updates and seven years of security patches.

Over the past few decades, the number of Americans who identify as religiously unaffiliated—often referred to as “nones”—has grown rapidly. In the 1970s, only about 5% of Americans fell into this category. Today, that number exceeds 25%. Scholars have debated whether this change simply reflects a general decline in belief, or whether it signals something more complex. The research team wanted to explore the deeper forces at play: Why are people leaving institutional religion? What are they replacing it with? And how are their personal values shaping that process?
