Aaahh capitalism. This is what business school graduates call “innovation” and “smart”.

But seriously, I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s predatory, abusive, and wrong.

This is the correct answer.

Edit /etc/hosts and add

127.0.0.1 example.com

so when you type example.com into the address bar it goes to 127.0.0.1.

Wait their year was 260 days? Was there any significance to that number?

Ah yes, the old “laws don’t work so let’s get rid of them” argument.

And there were people on here saying that licensing your comments CC was stupid…

Great things have their start like that, like U.S Cyber Command!

Is Ubuntu enshittifying?

This is a great point. “It doesn’t work under the existing paradigm” doesn’t mean it can’t work.

Thanks for the update <thumbs_up>

I took a quick look at the specs and the T460 has 2 cores and uses DDR3 ram, so even though Linux is much lighter on resources than Windows, this laptop might not last you too long, considering how heavy even basic web browsing is these days. This computer will choke if you have a lot of tabs open, especially if you have things other than the browser open. I also noticed it has TPM, so just double check that you can replace the OS on this particular machine.

An alternative would be the T480, which would give you more mileage but can’t usually be had for under $100 like the T460.

Glhf!

Oh man, even reading that hurt ':D I’m sorry for your loss.

Zorin was, at least a few years ago, tailored to be easy to adapt to for people switching from Windows. This new version looks beautiful, I’m going to take it for a spin!
