  1. My aging dad who lives in a far away country: "How long can I keep using Windows 10? Can you install Linux remotely? Will it look different?"

    😱

    Suggested he drag his creaky old ass here while there's still a bit of jet fuel left and I give him a prepared Linux Laptop to take home instead of his old tower PC sitting under an old desk.

    Undoubtedly he'll then complain it doesn't have MS Works on it 😩

    Why did Windows have to get so thoroughly enshittified that even my dad, a lifelong Windows user, knows, without my doing, that it is better to switch to Linux than suffer Windows 11.

  20. 'Rather than trying to “fix” falling #birthrates, #policymakers should prepare for an #older #population – from rethinking how #oldage support is funded, to enabling people to remain in #work for longer. “Simply telling people to have more #babies is unlikely to work,” said CPC-CG member Dr Bernice Kuang' (Department of #SocialStatistics and #Demography at the University of #Southampton), who spoke with #TheGuardian last week about the latest #ONS #PopulationProjections.

    not fast, but never apart—

  39. A quotation from C W Leadbeater

    Sometimes people grieve when they find old age coming upon them, when they find their vehicles not so strong as they used to be. They desire the strength and the faculties that they once had. It is wise for them to repress that desire, to realize that their bodies have done good work, and if they can no longer do the same amount as of yore, they should do gently and peacefully what they can, but not worry themselves over the change. Presently they will have new bodies; and the way to ensure a good vehicle is to make such use as one can of the old one, but in any case to be serene and calm and unruffled. The only way to do that is to forget self, to let all selfish desires cease, and to turn the thought outward to the helping of others as far as one’s capabilities go.

    C. W. Leadbeater (1846-1934) English clergyman, theosophist, author [Charles Webster Leadbeater]
    The Masters and the Path, ch. 14 (1925)
