Do you own an Amazon smart device? If so, odds are good that the company is already sharing your internet connection with your neighbors unless you've specifically told it not to.

Microsoft to unveil new version of Windows on June 24
Windows 11?? Nobody seems to know for sure but I do know that Visual
Studio supports Linux and even runs it on a VM to compile Android
apps.? I've been previewing Maui which is the replacement for
Xamarin used for cross platform development.? It's going to be even
easier to create one app and have it run on Windows, Android, iOS
and MacOS (and a few others).? As I've said before if you want
Windows more secure ditch the old NT kernal and run the Windows on
top of Linux.? Many agree with that idea.

Please do stay if you can Ann. I do read your posts and enjoy your wit and wisdom. I guess forums such as these are relics of the past and folks have moved elsewhere FB, Twitter, Reddit and we can't get enough folks to create a vibrant exchange of ideas at this point to drown out posters like Uncle Willy, but do we give up? We need you ?

Thanks for posting all these years, Ann! You dropping out won't make any difference. I've been posting to these discussion groups since 1995, trying to be civil and spark a discussion. It didn't make any difference - nobody wants to talk about meditation anymore, or post comments on yoga poses. I must have posted over 20,000 on-topic comments on Usenet by now. Hey! I've written a whole online book! I'm not saying that nobody cares, but nobody cares. YMMV.

Demanding we wear masks isn't the president's job.
Apparently some folks may have needlessly worn face coverings for more than a year. It isn’t some conspiracy theory to say so. YMMV. The question is, "Was mask-wearing pointless after all?" Can anyone point to any studies showing that masks made a significant difference in containing the coronavirus? It would be interesting to read the Barry1 medical journal about this. They called Barry2 "preposterous" for suggesting that masking doesn't work. Go figure.

Donald Trump, Madman

The scale of Trump’s delusion is quite startling. This is not merely an eccentric interpretation of the facts or an interesting foible, nor is it an irrelevant example of anguished post-presidency chatter. It is a rejection of reality, a rejection of law, and, ultimately, a rejection of the entire system of American government. There is no Reinstatement Clause within the United States Constitution. Hell, there is nothing even?approximating?a Reinstatement Clause within the United States Constitution. The election has been certified, Joe Biden is the president, and, until 2024, that is all there is to it. It does not matter what one’s view of Trump is. It does not matter whether one voted for or against Trump. It does not matter whether one views Trump’s role within the Republican Party favorably or unfavorably. We are talking here about cold, hard, neutral facts that obtain irrespective of one’s preferences; it is not too much to ask that the former head of the executive branch should understand them.
?
Just how far out there is Trump’s theory? Consider that, even if it were true that the 2020 election had been stolen — which it is absolutely not — his belief would?still?be absurd. It could be confirmed tomorrow that agents working for a combination of al-Qaeda, Venezuela, and George Soros had hacked into every single voting machine in the country and altered the totals by tens of millions, and it would remain the case there is no mechanism within the American legal order for a do-over of any sort. In such an eventuality, there would be indictments, an impeachment drive, and a constitutional crisis.
?
American politicians do not lose their reelection races only to be reinstalled later on, as might the second-place horse in a race whose winner was disqualified. The idea is otherworldly and obscene.
There is nothing to be gained for conservatism by pretending otherwise. To acknowledge that Trump is living in a fantasy world does not wipe out his achievements or render anything else he has said incorrect. It does not endorse Joe Biden or hand the Republican Party over to Bill Kristol or knock down an inch of the wall on the border. It merely demands that Donald Trump be treated like any other person: subject to gravity, open to rebuttal, and liable to be laughed at when he becomes so unmoored from the real world that it is hard to know where to begin in attempting to explain him.
I just hope that the media ignores trump's propaganda tours and the no one comes. Both hopes are bound to be dashed however...
