It’s good enough that my 75yo mother picked it up without trouble when I switched her to Mint after W10 went EoL.

Think for a minute about how providing your ID to access the internet would become a requirement.

That’s the fun part - they don’t! There are no special 1s nor 0s

Yea, it was what was being discussed. Your assertion is that it’s impossible for the ruling class to have an exception. You seem to think a technical limitation exists where none does.

You’re factually incorrect, and show neither an understanding of how networking/websites function, or understanding of how the ultra wealthy and the politicians they buy have a very long history of giving themselves loopholes so the rules don’t apply to them.

That’s how I became popular with the ladies when I went to band camp. I had extreme social anxiety about starting conversations with girls, so I bought a ridiculous hat in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Because I could wear that around them with no trouble for some reason
