Finally watched Tron:Aries. I'm afraid I really like it.. Maybe even love it. I was a fan of the original Tron to a possibly unreasonable extent. My exploration of Taoism as a thirty-something may have something to do with it, but I was a fan of Tron long before that. Tron: Aries definitely strikes a chord in the realm of the hope for "eternal life". As an atheist, its a bit comforting, and certainly entertaining to explore purpose and "why go on". I liked it.

We were unsure what to do of it. In the end, just sharing it… for the fun. I should say "Thank you", I guess? 🤷🤗

Next year is 30 years since I "switched to Linux". I have had to use MS Windows and MacOS at work here and there since then, but I have been completely MS-Windows-free in my personal (and frankly much more important) computing since 1997.

It's been a long, slow slide, but... where are we now? Have we annexed the Sudatenland yet? Is it safe to say the so-called United States of America has properly become a fascist dictatorship with aspirations of global domination? No, of course not. You could get arrested or shot for saying that. -- NewsUndies

Coming up on living 8 years longer than I expected. Terrific. Thankfully there are garlic bagels.
