If you read your EULA you don’t own your copy of windoze... you are leasing it from them. SAS. Software as a service. They can end your lease anytime they want for any reason of their choosing

What was the subject line of this email?

Why were you one of the only people to get it? What precipitated this email?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Do you regularly get email from MS?

Hate speech is whatever someone says it is. There is no recourse.

That’s the beauty of the term “hate speech”. It can mean whatever you want it to mean. And that’s something liberals take full advantage of.

Do you think Michelle Obama would make a good president? You had better say yes. Because any counter-argument would be both racist and sexist. That’s hate speech squared.

“I wonder who gets to define the above? What, exactly, will they consider hate speech?“

Don’t say anything bad, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.

Anything that goes against the Covid 19 narrative will be considered harmful to others... therefore “hate speech”.

“hate speech?”

There is no such thing as “hate speech”, there is only FREE SPEECH!

Did the framers say that you can’t yell “FIRE” in a crowded movie theater? NO! If I were in a crowded movie theater and someone yelled “FIRE”, I’d say where’s the smoke? BE QUIET! The rest of us are trying to watch the movie!

Did they restrict “speech” in ANY way? NO!

“Why freedom of speech should not be limited?

However, even words taken out of context are just words and cannot be subjected to a banning every time it offends someone. The First Amendment doesn’t take sides. Putting limits on freedom of speech only creates a slippery slope where more and more beliefs and stances become censored, edited or never heard.Apr 5, 2013”

How far down that “slippery slope” have we slid? TOO FAR!

There should be no slope at all. All speech is permitted/guaranteed by the constitution. The “Black Robes” have and are whittling away at ALL of our rights.

Very stable.

https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php

https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

The installer can push Windows aside and install itself along side windows. You get a new menu on pre-boot up to choose between linux or windows to boot up to. Use linux for everything you can, especially internet stuff. Use windows for the rare instance when there’s no linux equivalent application. Only thing I use windows for is a couple of auto repair apps.
