@icedquinn @newt they're natural, neither good nor evil.

Using them wisely as a price discovery mechanism can help you make sales and money without getting exploited.

Choosing to hate them or pretend they don't exist leads to poverty and exploitation.

Excited to receive the @tuttletwins second book on American history (1776-1791). A children’s version of Rothbard’s five volume Conceived in Liberty is now complete! Although a cartoon picture of me is still in the back, I’d be lying if I said the below picture wasn’t my favorite

@fsf How about just abolishing school altogether? That's the real slavery.

@ChristiJunior Take note that he says "bucks" as in dollars and not leu (Romania's official currency). More proof that Christi is just an American fed LARPing as a Romanian.

Living near water can have a significant impact on your physical and mental well-being. From improving your overall health to reducing stress levels, there are numerous benefits to living near a body of water. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the key benefits.

Improved Air Quality

Living near water can have a positive impact on the air quality in your area. Bodies of water, such as rivers and lakes, help to regulate the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment. This can help to reduce pollution and improve air quality, making it easier for you to breathe. It should also be noted that while rainforests produce 25-30% of Earth’s oxygen, our oceans produce 50-80%!

Reduced Stress and Improved Mental Health

Water has a calming effect on our minds and bodies and studies have shown that spending time near water can have a positive impact on mental health. The sound of waves or running water can be soothing and help to reduce stress levels. This is why many people choose to take vacations by the ocean or spend time near a river or lake. Living near water can provide you with a constant source of relaxation, which can improve your mental health and overall well-being.

Being near water can help to reduce anxiety and depression, and can improve overall mood. The calming effect of water can also help to improve sleep quality, which is important for mental health.

Increased Physical Activity

Close proximity and access to water on a daily basis can encourage physical activity. Swimming, kayaking, and other water-based activities are great forms of exercise that can help to improve your physical health. Even just taking a walk by the water can be beneficial for your health and well-being.

Increased Property Value and Aesthetic Benefits

Living near water can increase the value of your property. Waterfront properties are often more desirable and can sell for a higher price than properties that are not near water. This can be beneficial if you are looking to sell your property in the future. Short term rentals like AirBNB and VRBO that are on the water routinely rent more consistently and for higher values.

Water is aesthetically pleasing and can add to the overall beauty of your surroundings and your property. Living near water can provide you with a beautiful view that can improve your mood and overall well-being.

Conclusion

Living near water can have numerous benefits for your physical and mental health. From improving air quality to reducing stress levels, there are many reasons why you may want to consider a waterfront property to take advantage of these benefits.

@beardalaxy @binkle @coolboymew I mean, there will always be use cases for local computing, such as embedded systems and devices that have no reason to connect to the Internet or any network at all. There are still variants of Windows for those purposes and they seem to be the only ones that don't require you having a Microsoft account to use. Someone even made a custom Windows 8 embedded ISO that supposedly stripped all of the telemetry, but it requires a product key to keep it legal (or at least in a legal gray area), and keys for embedded versions of Windows are ridiculously expensive.

Businesses love cloud computing because before that, you had to set up your own intranets along with file servers, email servers, VPN servers, etc. And even then, it was difficult (if not impossible) to fully their employee's work activity. It's because of them that sometimes people have no choice but to use Google Drive because nobody knows how to email files or transfer files via removable storage anymore.

@binkle @coolboymew I'm pretty sure this will lead to the biggest exodus to Linux yet. It won't be a majority but it will be a significant number. I know a lot of people (namely PC gamers) who hate cloud-computing but still use Windows. This could be their breaking point.

Of course, Microsoft could force hardware manufacturers to only allow Windows on their computers, but we can always point them to companies like System76.
