For those interested, read her
"Dusty 2 Zaps" story where she covers the clearing of Low/Medium Earth Orbit of much of the debris from old Satelites and such and then look at how much crap is being put into Leo/Meo by Amazon/Starlink and other Satelite Internet providers. How much of that garbage is going to deorbit when expected or what happens when it hits and breaks up?

Something silly but sweet that I wrote many years ago. Decided to share it finally

Windows 10 decided to update itself and fragged the start menu due to their AI garbage. Just another reason for me to say not only "No! But Hell No!!" as I don't want all of their malware/spyware being on my computer.

Guess it's a good thing I was already planning on switching back to Linux as I control the Updates and choose when they'll happen. Yes Linux has reached the point it's ready for Prime Time usage as my one game, "Guild Wars 2" runs great on Proton (Steam) so I have nothing holding me back.

Thankfully we have a very useful resource in the Forums as I asked the question about Lazlo Zalezac status.

Turns out he's been gone since late 2018 due to lung cancer. I'm sorry to say another favorite author has been lost and I didn't even notice. You will be missed Lazlo

One of the main differences between pets and people is that pets are considered property. Simply put, by most countries laws, they're no different then the computer you own and yes, you can do damn near anything that you want with them.

People though are different. Kill them and you've committed murder. It's something I recently had to seriously discuss with my family in regards to mom. She's currently in a nursing home due to a broken ankle and will be there for several weeks before it heals. One of the questions they asked is what level of Resusitation would we allow and that took some serious discussion before we decided that at that point, she's gone and authorized "DNR" or do not resusitate. This means if she has a heart attack, stroke or other issue that ends her life "Then So Be It" but we will not allow her to demand or them to suggest being put down in a medically assisted death.
