Some good stuff there. Not ominous at all.

Yep from what I understand.

Dunno. But I’ve had no issues so far with gts.

You are not wrong.

We do have automated AI that applies for jobs for you now. Its kinda hilarious in a dystopian way. https://github.com/AIHawk-co/Auto_Jobs_Applier_AI_Agent

I can’t think of any windows specific games I’ve payed for the last two years.

Such a strange world. These kind of stories makes it funny to read the headlines from time to time.

Yep then it will be the next twitter/Facebook/ect.

Flash drives and periodic transfers.

Peertube, Bookwyrm, Lemmy, Mastodon in that order. Theres a ton out there I haven’t tried.

Networking (AKA meeting people) is a good way to get jobs.
