@Diogenese_Shiplap The classic Nietzsche quote comes to mind. I'm working to separate myself from the state as much as possible. Sabotage the state, not your neighbors. If your neighbors are the state, you need to move.

@sphynx What's going on with left chick's titties? Is that a stroke symptom?
@Shlomo I have a copy of 'Common Edible Mushrooms' circa 1943 from the University of Minnesota, but can't attach it here.

@dictatordave It's a lot easier to disappear than most think. You just have to do without a couple modern conveniences.
@KiKi88 Good to know, thanks.
@Diogenese_Shiplap Isaac Asimov has some really good short stories. 'All the Troubles of the World' is my favorite short story by him.
@remixtures Only here to shill Libre Office. Been using it for years and it just works. Switch to FOSS and take back control of your data.
"Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.
If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.
I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:
On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”"
