Microsoft, quietly, has published a guide on how to download and install Linux.

No... Seriously... It is not a joke...

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install

The article was published September 29, 2023 (9 days ago).

The guide provides every option available, too. Starting with using their Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), to using a Virtual Machine, and even on "Bare Metal" alongside Windows.

That's right, Microsoft now tells you how to dual-boot Linux. 🤯

To give them free rein over our lives.

I really want to write stuff about basic troubleshooting theory because I don’t know who is teaching it.
I see endless “run this command” search results that establish nothing and have no tests for relevance to the issue.
There are themes that take so much experience to connect.

This is explosive: Brexiteer ultras pushing a (non-working, failed to reach clinical trials) COVID vaccine tried to get MI5 to spy on the staff of the science journal "Nature", fomented an anti-science campaign via the Daily Telegraph, and createdand spread a conspiracy theory falsely blaming a Chinese biowar lab for creating COVID:

This was the British equivalent of Trump's Ivermectin grift.

The "New Outlook" demands that when adding your Gmail account, you also give Microsoft a copy of all your email, contacts, and calendar data.

The "Learn More" link confirms:

"Syncing your account to the Microsoft Cloud means that a copy of your email, calendar, and contacts will be synchronized between your email provider and Microsoft data centers."

WOW.

Good time to switch to @thunderbird, folks!
