Personally I just use an ad blocker

Added context for anyone who isn't aware, Schwarzenegger was the Republican governor of California from 2003 to 2011.

Personally, I would not recommend diving into Linux headfirst by installing it as your only operating system. If you can afford an additional small drive (128GB should be plenty), I would suggest buying one and installing something like Linux Mint on that, while putting Windows on your main drive.

That way, you can switch between them whenever you want to (when you turn on your computer, you can just use a menu to choose which drive to boot to), and get somewhat familiar with Linux before deciding if it's worth your time to really dive in.

(There's a way to put both operating systems on the same drive, but it's really easy for something to go wrong and end up with one of the operating systems inaccessible. Since you're inexperienced, I would avoid going that route for the time being, and just keep both on separate drives.)

No, you should not "generalize" when those generalizations are negative and targeted at a specific group of people. That's called stereotyping and is widely considered a bad thing.

That's a pretty sexist outlook. I don't think the image makes an entire 51% of the population angry. And I think people like Jeff Bezos show that not all men require "so little to be happy". It's almost like genders are not hive-minds, and generalizing anything that broadly is only going to result in looking like a boomer who complains about how terrible their spouse is.

Uhh, is that not just spellcheck? Try capitalizing the first letter of both underlined words (so it would be "Noah Bradley") as both words are names which are always capitalized.

Same here. I only support those companies because they're the best options for what they offer, and I'm not gonna let perfection get in the way of progress. Even though Mozilla is making some business choices I don't agree with, I'm gonna keep recommending Firefox until some other non-Chromium browser comes along (which unfortunately isn't gonna happen for a long time).

Same with AMD- they are so much more friendly to the open-source community than Nvidia or Intel, so I will recommend them to everyone, until the moment they start being worse. At that point, I'll start recommending whoever seems best at that point in time.

You could always put it into service as a network wide ad blocker with PiHole. Might also speed up web browsing a bit too, since PiHole also works as a DNS cache.

Start feeding it too, or get one of the neighbors who's been feeding it to help out. Your best bet is a feral cat trap, which are kinda pricey, but if you call around to a few local rescues or "trap, neuter, release" programs, they may be able to lend you one. Then you can likely just use food to lure it into the trap.

Of course, if this cat used to be someone's pet, you could even just try luring it into a garage or, hell, a big cardboard box, from which you could put some thick gloves on and transfer it into a pet carrier

I've been out of the game for a few years, who's TG?

They totally might have figured something out. Hell, they could have gotten a hold of some of Sony's original disc-pressing hardware to reproduce the copy protection. It really is the Wild West when it comes to these retailers
