Creators: don't let the red-line where others abandoned their dreams affect YOU.
Invention is not a pack activity. You take your chances and make your choices alone.
Sheep want you in the fold for their safety and to justify their own fear of not belonging.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.
Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Having ditched #Windows for #openSUSE back in 2013, I can confirm that it is ideal for anyone who wants to escape the clutches of #Microsoft. And, no, I didn’t require a degree in computer science to make the switch to #Linux. 🐧
Leaving #Windows? #Endof10 #Linux Mint isn't the only option anymore; #openSUSE with #KDE Plasma offers deep customization plus #Snapper rollbacks for peace of mind. The perfect safety net for #newcomers! 🐧
