IoT Enterprise works just fine. That said, I still don't trust Microsoft - it still insists on forced updates and reboots, and likely AI, down the line.

I am figuring on switching to SteamOS Desktop, once that is released.

If this is the work of the Lord of Insufficient Light, I am very much a fan.

Also Charlie Kirk: "Not like that!"

For my part, I am learning how to shoot and maintain a shotgun, because I don't expect to be peace in my time. I don't like to spend the time, money, and effort, nor worry about the results of battle, but I don't expect the Trump Regime to peacefully back down. I am very likely to be sent to one of RFK's wellness camps, and will prefer to die as a person, not as a prisoner.

Peace is good, but that desire shouldn't be a blinder to the reality of a situation. Russia will keep bullying Europeans, if you let it.

Bullies tend to keep doing what they do, until they get a bloody nose. It sucks that being mean is often a solution to that problem. 😒

Shoot them, THEN hang the wealthy for all the other bastards to see.

Tannen can read an almanac. I don't think that Trump could manage that.

I suppose it is a small mercy that Hulk Hogan isn't around anymore...

A fat lot of good that money will do, when there are no young hands able to wipe the bottoms of the elderly after an accident.

I think having a pipeline of official service would be good. Here is a concept for that:

After your first term is completed, you can elect to either run for a second term, or to be promoted to the higher level. If you get promoted, you can't have a second term on a lower level, so your career gets shorter if you move up the ladder quickly. However, if you fail to be elected to the higher post, you are barred from taking a 2nd term of your prior offices. This is a "are you sure people like you?" mechanism that theoretically would cull bad politicians from holding onto political power forever.

Mayor -> State legislature -> national congress -> president, something like that. Assuming one term for each posting, that would be 12 years of service before getting a chance at being president. 24 years of political presence if you took two full terms for each post. A politician can opt to have a glorious but short career, or to take a longer and more surer route that yields better odds of getting into the highest office.

Luigi's Mansion could use some new residents...
