Been doing this conversation online thing since the mid 80’s.

I have never blocked anyone.

People seem to use it all the time since social media became a thing, I always thought it was weird.

Was that because people did not learn to stay anonymous online?

I can’t help you with full encryption after the fact, but if you do decide to do it, make a snapshot first. Clonezilla makes it easy, and you can encrypt it.

If anything goes wrong when you do the encryption, you can always roll back to your snapshot.

You may already know all that, but I thought I would mention it.

I use the same tool to make snapshot when I change OS and drives, and use the snapshot to make a VM. If I forgot anything in the new OS, it’s all their in the VM of my old OS.

Really? I always considered irfanview to be tolerable if I had to use windows but nothing special, and the licensing has issues.

Only ten years?

KDE, better then ever.

Nope. All worse.

Why people keep using Linked In is beyond me. It never has been anything more than a data mining operation with people gladly giving them all their real details.

Remember when Linked IN became the man in the middle of your emails? It would read them and send email to your contacts list.

Microsoft has said after they purchased them that they were only in it for the data. This is no secret.

I will not hire people who put linked in on their resumes, as I have to assume they are just stupid.
