MICROSLOP

Microslop has gone viral! - This entire story is hilarious, it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of globalist oppressors, hopefully this will bring an end to Microslop domination this year. Yes, Linux does work much better.

COMPUTING WAS A DEEP STATE SET UP

At some point in the past few years, the penny dropped and I realised  Apple, Microsoft, and later, Google, were all set up by the deep state, they were never real businesses – we can use their tools, but they are all playing us.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were both actors working for the CIA. Jobs faked his death and Gates was replaced around 2013. As was “Melinda” who is now a very obvious tranny. “Bill” probably is as well – they both appear to be inverts.

Linux – is there is something not right about the development and marketing of Linux? – by keeping it hard to use and underground for decades it has never posed a real threat to the deep state operating systems. It slowly improves, but is never really sorted out for mass use. Maybe it’s always been too controlled by geeks, but some distros, like Mint, are so close to being suited to mass use, I always wonder what is holding everything back? Has the deep state infiltrated Linux development too and deliberately held it back?

All those Windows software updates are not just for copying our data, one day all of those programs could “unexpectedly” create irritating and time consuming problems in unison – mass distraction at a key moment, and those trojans are being constantly set up.

Logging us out of accounts and demanding that we SUBMIT (rather than just logging back in) is obvious mind programming. Any site that does that has revealed it’s true intentions. Pay attention to these little signs!

Another trick is spell checkers. Making spell checkers only work properly in US English has forced us to use US spelling – more programming. But it’s not just our computers that are trying to control us, nearly everything on the internet is a distraction, whether intentional or not, and social media is almost all just there to distract us – that is a major part of how we are being controlled.

Microsoft crossed the line after Win 7 – Microsoft is all spyware but I don’t ever want to use Win 10 on, not even for day to day use and certainly not for anything to do with cryptos. What I’m using on my computers these days is Linux Mint. I’m not a tech geek and having used Windows 95, XP, and 7, for quarter of a century, I did initially find it a stretch fully escaping the clutches of Microscum, mainly because of things like changing from Photoshop to Gimp.

Mint is a decent operating system though, and Gimp 3 is pretty good too. It wasn’t a good situation being locked into old software. Photoshop CS6 (2012) was the last version that you could use without having to rent it off Adobe for a monthly fee, which I would never do, so I was using an archaic image editing program that I would never update.

LINUX IS FINALLY REPLACING WINDOWS

Since Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 and tried to force everyone to use their appalling spyware system, Windows 11, their past decade of utter bullshit finally seems to be catching up with them.

lt's only this year that the Linux desktop operating systems seem to have finally gone from being geek only - 1-4% of desktop users, to this sudden rapid rise that could mess up the big players - if Windows drops from say 75% down to 50%, while Linux jumps up from 2% to 25% that is really going to shake things up.

In the past Microsoft have rolled out crappy new operating systems and everyone has just "updated" to whatever is put in front of them, even if it is a major step backwards. Like Windows 10 was after Win 7, let alone Win 8 after Win 7. But Win 11 has really created a backlash. It is obvious spyware as well as complete garbage, and many people are not happy. 

I use Linux Mint myself, but I also recommend Linux Zorin.

 

 "Zorin OS, an excellent Linux desktop, reports that its latest release, "Zorin OS 18 has amassed 1 million downloads in just over a month since its release." What makes it especially interesting is that over "78% of these downloads came from Windows" users.

Now, that's got my attention... 780,000 Windows users don't download a 3.5 Gigabyte Linux desktop distribution if they're not giving it serious consideration. Linux desktop fans download different distros all the time. For them, it's a hobby.

For Windows users? You have to think they are considering making the Linux switch.

Many have already been making the leap. By May 2025, StatCounter data showed the Linux desktop had grown from a minute 1.5% global desktop share in 2020 to above 4% in 2024, and was at a new American high of above 5% by 2025"

MICROSOFT HAVE REALLY LOST IT

 They lost it decades ago, but everything aligns at this point to see this scumbag company finally meet the end they deserve. 

While most people meekly put up with Windows 10 even though it was utter crap, Windows 11 has finally overstepped a line, and millions of ex Windows 10 users are now refusing to downgrade to Win 11.

Windows 11 is the massive push that Linux needed and is ready for. Apparently over a million Windows users have already downloaded Linux Zorin 18 since it was released in October. 

I switched from Windows 7 to Linux Mint, and I would never go back to Microsoft. That switch from Windows to Linux Mint is becoming an increasingly popular path this year since Microsoft pulled support for Win 10.

We are now at a point where some Linux desktop systems are really cool, while Windows has hit an all time low that it's very unlikely to ever recover from.

For non geek ex Windows users, my own recommendations are Linux Mint or Linux Zorin. But there are many other Linux options to choose from - learn more about them on Distro Watch. 

 

Linux Mint is like a modernised Windows 7, while Linux Zorin is more like a stylish Windows 10.

I'M QUITING VIDEO

Having been feeling quite seedy for the past week or so, I've spent more time than usual lying around looking at stuff on my tablet and laptop.

I've already given up on all social media except for YouTube and Facebook, and I never use my phone for anything to do with the internet. So I'm not a typical phone connected online video addict.

I was stunned to learn that there are people actually paying US$13.99 a month for "YouTube Premium", presumably to avoid seeing ads. I never see any ads on YouTube, simply because I view it using Brave browser with U-Block origin ad blocker installed - it really isn't that difficult!

But there really do seem to be be numpties forking out NZ$300 a year because they are too clueless to find out how to block ads on YouTube. Mind boggling...

 
It only takes about 10 seconds to install an ad blocker...

Often the best way to quit an unhealthy addiction is to do it heaps and get totally sick of it. I don't remember videos being quite this diabolical, but like most things, they seem to have hit new lows in 2025. 

 

I'm at the point where if I hear the words "like" or "insane" only another 400 times I may go completely spastic.

 I generally find most of them totally unwatchable within about 30 seconds, and very seldom seem to find any really worth watching.

So although it may mean missing out on some helpful info, from now on I'm going to run a tighter ship, and pretty much avoid looking at videos. 

I already do that on Facebook anyway, but I'm pretty much going to stop looking at Youtube altogether because it's mostly totally lame and it rapidly becomes a mind numbing waste of time. 

I want to read well presented written information with pictures, and listening to tossers rambling on endlessly is a terrible way to try and absorb any information.

There are a bunch of things I'm already doing my all out best to totally avoid, such as AI, Microsoft, and Fudporn. Today I'm adding videos to my avoid list.

 

HOW MUCH???

Not being into phones myself I had no idea that people were flinging this sort of money at the stupid things, but when I did some looking into phones yesterday, it boggled my mind that there are phones apparently selling in New Zealand for NZ$3799.
 

Are people really paying that much for phones? Are they stark raving mad?

A person who was able to make good second hand selections on Trade Me could buy an entire collection of technologies for that amount of money.

 To see how this might play out, I went imaginary shopping online. What did I buy?:

Firstly a laptop - I like 17" Dell Laptops - here is a fairly good one for $599. And this comes with a good hard drive so it wouldn't need upgrading like my next purchase, the PC, would.

 

 

Next a PC - I like old HP Z240 PC's - this one is just $200 - yes I would do some hard drive upgrades to it, but I'm sure there will be plenty of $ remaining from my imaginary $3799 budget to cover those as well.

 

 

The PC would also need a screen to go with it - I like 32" screens - OK, for this item I'll splash out and go with a brand new LG monitor because they are good, and that would cost $445. So far I'm up to $599 + $200 + $445 = $1244.

 I'd like a new tablet as well - my pick is a 12" Samsung - $699 brand new

 And I might as well buy a phone even though I seldom use them - If I was buying one for real I'd prefer a Brax 3 privacy phone, but for the purposes of this blog I'll just go with the first half decent refurbished phone I see - $169

So now I've spent $599 + $200 + $445 + $699 + $169 = $2112.

 I'm doing an imaginary tech spending spree here, and still have $1687 to spend. Those purchases will cost about an extra $100 in freight, so I'll need to keep at least that much in reserve, and next I'd like to buy some better drives for the PC.

 First a new 500Gb Samsung SSD drive for doing a fresh install of a Linux Mint operating system on the PC - $96

 

Then a big 4TB Samsung SSD slave drive for storing all my data - $689 - those drives are fairly expensive and I could easily find something cheaper, but even after buying one, I'd still be rolling in cash at this point, and wouldn't really need to look for drive bargains.

 I'd also get a stylish keyboard and mouse for the PC, along with a WD 4TB external drive ($229) for doing my backups. That lot will cost about $400 all up, leaving me with $300 to spend on extras like a foot massager.

 

As well as using the external drive to backup the slave drive on the PC, I'd also use it to share my big collections of movies and stuff with the laptop.

  

So for the price of that one total rip off phone I could have a nice laptop, PC, monitor, tablet, phone, and a backup drive with some leftover change.

Yeah, that is pretty much what I already actually do have, and honestly, I think if anyone spends $3800 on a phone they are a complete tool.

Speaking of tools, if you are still looking for something to spend some leftover money on, I recommend a Stanley Fatmax 20oz hammer because I think they have a nicer grip than any other hammers. 

 

BIGTIME AGAIN

 Back around 2018 on my old www.frot.co.nz blog I used to get over 1000 hits most days, and would get up over 2000 hits on good days too. 

But since the start of the covidhoax in 2020, when I began regularly calling out the whole scam, it's safe to say that my www.frot.co.nz  blog hits took a hammering and never recovered.

For the past two years I've wondered if my new www.sift.co.nz blog would ever get up over 2000 hits a day.

The hits this year have been gradually increasing, and yesterday they finally exceeded 2000 for the first time.

So that's pretty cool. And it's not like I've stopped calling out the covidhoax or the death jabs or anything.

 

 

AVOID USING MICROSOFT

This is only the second topic on my privacy page and I can already see that the page is not going to be a logical and orderly progression of ideas, but rather a bunch of responses and reactions to whatever subjects come up.

 

Like the majority of computer users, I had been using Microsoft Windows forever, and only recently stopped, but I don't want to give the impression that Microsoft is the only one to avoid. Apple is full blown spyware as well, as of course is Google.

  

What seems to have really been the final straw is Microsoft's Windows 11. This appalling pile of full on spyware is so bad it has even aggravated non geeks who in the past would have just gone along with whatever crap Microsoft pushed on them.

 

This was my reply to a friend who yesterday asked what sort of computer she should get to replace a Windows 10 PC that was failing. I've had several friends asking similar questions recently, so I thought I'd better do a blog post to try and cover the basics of the current situation

Microsoft have lost the plot. Personally I stopped at Windows 7, and refused to ever use Win 10 to any extent, so I ended up sticking with Win 7 up until 2024, but I was having increasing problems with software that would no longer work on Win 7.

 

So I shifted to using Linux, which took me ages to get used to after 26 years of Microsoft - I prefer it now, but for the first six months I wished I could just go back to Win 7.

Much as I disliked Win 10, that is nothing to my dislike of Win 11, which is badly designed spyware with built in adverts, mainly designed to sell expensive PC's


Microsoft pulled support for Win 10 in October 2025, and have told everyone to get Win 11 which requires an expensive high end computer.


One good thing about that is that there are now thousands of Win 10 PC's going cheap because they won't update to Win 11


They will run fine for at least the next few years, but over time there will be increasing problems with Win 10, like there now is with Win 7.


A good solution is to switch old PC's over to Linux, which runs much better on older PC's because it's better designed software.


The catch is that you will need to learn to use Linux, which for non-geek Windows users is a big change, and to begin with many find difficult. Linux is different to Microsoft.


With Linux literally everything is a choice, while Windows has very little in the way of choices. For example with Windows you can now essentially only choose between switching to Win 11, or continuing to use Win 10.

https://sift666.blogspot.com/p/linux.html

Meanwhile on Linux there are hundreds of different versions (distros) to choose from which initially seems confusing. But it's often less confusing than it first seems.


For an ex Windows user who is not a geek, and just wants a good general purpose operating system, there are two stand out options - Linux Mint or Linux Zorin.

 

 
Both of those are from Ireland which is now a hotbed of computer development 


As with all things Linux, every last detail on these operating systems can be customised, although you can just run them on the default settings as they come if you want, and that will work fine too. They are not like Windows where all the defaults are set to spy on you, and need to be changed.

But essentially I think the best option for Windows 10 users wanting to buy a PC in 2025 is to buy a good used Win 10 PC, and to continue using Win 10 for now, but to be aware that in a few years you will probably have to convert it to Linux, so to start learning to use Linux now and gradually get used to it.

A lot of geeks recommend setting up a dual boot PC, often suggesting a combination of both Win 10 and Linux Mint, but I don't like dual boot set ups myself and prefer to keep Linux & Windows totally separate.

So for the initial learning stage I recommend getting a second computer, any half decent 64 bit laptop with a 500gb solid state drive (SSD) will be fine, and that means you can get used to Linux under no pressure. If anything goes horribly wrong you can just start over again.

 

Hundreds of old laptops and PC's are going cheap on Trade Me - here is a typical example, this is a 17" Dell laptop for $199, which would be ideal for setting up with Linux to learn the ropes.

 

I see no future in Win 11 and think Microsoft's appalling spyware will always be best avoided.

This my own Linux Mint PC - Linux uses different programs so instead of Word for example it runs Writer, but they are very similar. More difficult for me was that instead of Photoshop, Linux runs GIMP (Graphical Image Manipulation Program) and that is more of a difference.
