  • MSI recently pushed a firmware update on my motherboard that somehow reset the device ID, so windows decided I wasn’t running genuine windows anymore.

    I lived with the watermark for a few months, then kept running out of space on my old 256gb windows drive (all I could afford at the time) and I decided that instead of just migrating to larger drive and buying another copy of windows, I’d take the leap and just do it. It was unexpectedly painless.

    My one concern was gaming, specifically helldivers, which has been pretty much the only thing I can play with my friends. Turns out, it just… runs… everything else… just… runs…

    The last time I tried linux was like 10 years ago, and its definitely come a long way, at least with some of the more consumer level distros.

    That’s a pretty boilerplate criticism. While true to a great degree, it’s also true of a lot of western capitalist nations.

    It’s pretty hard to find information about real communist societies because media companies have it in their best interest to bury any good that has possibly been done by a communist society, meanwhile demonizing them and making them the enemy. You really have to dig to find honest information about communist societies.

    Moreover, a lot of otherwise successful communist regimes have been sabotaged and poisoned by capitalist interests. Either by literally arming fascists, or just by demonizing them with foreign policy and media coverage.
