    I’m saying from the 70’s to the 80’s things got less sexist, less conservative, more liberating, more free speech. Same thing happened from the 80’s to the 90’s. Possibly same from 90’s to 00’s (or maybe largely the same). Then 00’s to 10’s the trend reversed, then 10’s to 20’s that reversal continued.

    Now here we are.

    What I am saying is. Whenever I talked to people about university that were older than me it seemed better in their view and mine. Everyone I talked about university after seems it got worse in their view and mine.

    Same for childhood and same for 20’s (2008 being an exception). I also noticed this about travelling to other countries.


  • Thank you. I didnt know about lenovo so that’s good to know.

    System76 seems especially out of my price range. I haven’t bought a computer for 12 years, can’t believe laptop’s cost more now (even accounting for inflation) than they did back then. It’s unbelievable. Might have to work out if I want a good one to last a long time (which is risky) or to get a cheaper one and expect to replace earlier.

    By thank you that is helpful.


  • I just spent two years living and working in Australia and New Zealand. Not sure any of that applies to me.

    When I came to university and meeting girls/ having fun everything that came before me seemed better, everything that came after me seemed worse.

    Its been on the downward for a while. Same applies to being a kid, though I did get somewhat a good foot in both worlds as a kid. Now seems worse than my time though.

    I want to get into Linux and I need a new laptop. I’m happy to go secondhand but I actually want a half decent thing that can play some games, not the cheapest box I can put Linux on and use fake word.

    Am I best off just buying a new windows laptop than I can dual boot? Or any other suggestions?

    Windows is US$ 139.00. So I figured if I buy a laptop without windows it will be 139 less but I guess manufacturers get windows for like $20 so there are no saving anyway.

    Edit:should probably add I’m from to UK I that’s relevant

    I really feel like the world’s changed.

    The last 20-30 has seen everything flip on it’s head it’s so weird.

    Everything seemed more freeing and liberating, more open . But now everything’s gone to shit. Don’t even care if I sound like a boomer anymore. World is actually fucked up.
