Thoughts about the Fermi paradox.
Where are all the aliens? Why don't we see them?
1. Life is common in the universe, but it is just happy on the planet it inhabits, and doesn't want to expand and communicate.
2. It does expand and communicate, but we are too stupid, biased, primitive to see and comprehend.
3. They might be out there and sending messsages, but we've just not been looking hard and long enough.
4. Intelligence (how we define it) is just a brief abnormal peak of evolution playing around. It might revert back to mean soon. Survival of the fittest. Single cell bacteria are super fit, since billions of years.
5. time and distance issue: They have been here already a hundred thousand years ago and left again.
6. We do see them (UAPs/UFOs). yet, for some reason, we only manage to take blurry fotos.π

I've been using #Microsoft #Windows for 30+ years. A few weeks ago, I have voted with my feet and left. π
Most of the time, I've liked using MS products. But the last few years MS made it harder and harder for me to maintain control over my own personal data. Creepy upcoming "features" like "Recall" which cannot be uninstalled and the ever growing trend to cloudify everything made me explore Linux desktop distributions (once again).
I am fully on #Linux now. And I am super excited because it is fast and flawless, and I as a user am back in control again. There are many Linux distributions which are super easy to install, maintain and use, especially for people who what the Windows (or Mac) look & feel. Plus, absolutely no terminal skills needed at all, just point and click. For all my major applications there are open source alternatives. And the few remaining special programs can be run in a sandbox.
Last, but not least: My old laptop is twice as fast now π no more "application is not responding" messages or staring at the revolving blue loop.
Take a look and give it a try. It is free. It is open source. It is from the people, for the people.
It is easy now (really, I've tried a few times in the past 20 years but now Linux has really matured enough so even my grandmother can use it π)
Try a few of the recommended distributions (many can be simply explored running on a USB stick, e.g. the ones from the links below) and check it out yourself.
