I have a first hand experience working with political parties and business entities in Bulgaria for more than two decades. Pessimism or optimism are states of illusion and tolerance non relevant to the reality of the situation. New faces do

The only motivation for me to own Apple hardware in 2021 is the ability to use FOSS software in the natural habitat of Linux. I don't trust Apple's software and "ideas" of computing at all. Just another big company with
