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.

HAVING A CLEAR OUT
Throughout the year I've been tossing images into a folder of ideas to do blog posts about. Now that I'm having a big clear out, and planning to make a fresh start next year, I've binned most of them.
But some of them are quite interesting images, even if they won't become blog posts, and I think they would make a good sellection of randoms.
So in no particular order here are some pictures that caught my eye this year:
Like so many historic photos, there are a bunch of things here that don't look right. They look like they are holding bags of apples, not heavy gold coins that would nearly tear their hands off, and the big sign looks entirely fake. Odd...
Ironically, since councils invented slow financial destruction by bicycle lanes, this is becoming surprisingly true...
No, these are not the same guy. Do they look the same?
Yes, these are the same guy. Do they look different?

HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA
A friend just asked if I knew anything about the current Cambodia vs. Thailand conflict, and if there was any likelihood of it leading to another Pol Pot style genocide.
Apart from listening to The Dead Kennedys "Holiday in Cambodia" song from 1980, I've done no research on that area at all. So out of curiosity I had a very quick look online today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr6NOsluHYg
There appears to have been an ongoing border dispute over some boundaries on a map from 1907 which has regularly escalated into violence ever since.
The main thing I've heard is that Cambodia is very poor, so I was surprised to see how many fairly late model Russian made BM-21 multiple rocket launchers were driving about in the photos. I wonder who funds those?
https://en.thairath.co.th/scoop/theissue/2902702
Cambodia has a bad reputation for using them to frequently fire rockets at civilian areas in Thailand.
Meanwhile Thailand has 54 American made F-16 fighter jets that have been fully upgraded. That is some serious money. Again, who is funding them?
I'm guessing that like most wars this is an engineered conflict designed to make big profits for arms manufacturers, as well as a way to destabilise the area.
Trump seems to have been making statements about a cease fire but has been clueless and looks like an idiot, so business as usual.
I didn't see anything suggesting that in my quick look online, but it's not easy to find much good info about any of this.
The globalists would need to have some plan in mind and nothing obvious jumped out at this stage.
But I guess they might use the 50th anniversary to highlight Pol Pot in order to bring in international laws against genocide - & promote a one world government.
