You know what, the whole software industry deserves to collapse.

I'm currently waiting for the hour to change over so I can start a task...

I know this might sound rich coming from a known member of a large organization, but you should prioritize building community with your neighbors over joining some big org. An organization can give you the feeling of being larger and stronger than you really are. 8000 people spread out across the country can feel absolutely massive on a discord or forum. But when it comes time to actually do anything, that nonprofit organization which felt so massive and strong only yesterday feels incapable of doing much besides sharing memes and getting into debates on forums.
Whereas 20 people all living in the same small area can be quite effective either in the case of political action, or when the most vulnerable in your neighborhood need defending. Imagine a text group (signal group ideally) where people send things like "ICE vehicles spotted in the neighborhood" or "Lots of cop cars seen on [major street]" or even "They're threatening to tear down Larry's tent, can anyone come by to help?"
It's scary. Start small. Maybe try to exchange numbers with every person with a pride flag or a free Palestine sign in their window near you. Let them know that you're trying to get people in the neighborhood in contact with one another so you can take care of each other. It can spread and grow from there.

Shocking absolutely no one, microsoft wants a bunch of perfectly good computers thrown in the trash.

Honestly, I think we've hit a point where a computer made a decade ago is performant enough for most people and how they use computers. The high requirements for windows 11 are another example of the industry trying to force everyone to replace every device they own regularly, so that sales can keep up, consequences be damned.
In some ways, the "AI" hype is a tool to sell new hardware as well. Surely you want all the best in your new "AI PC" which is just a normal computer but newer, with some software that will claim to be helpful but will actually be spewing bullshit.

Of the currently available XMPP clients, @npub1u4t…7ldx stands out as the most feature rich. I did a round of trying out other xmpp software this week, and gajim still provides the most painless experience.
