That's really kind of you. Thank you. I will be honest it's been a rough year but I'm happy to have found this place. I hope you're doing okay too.

Aw that's great. Yay! ^-^
Heck yes I want to join smolnet. - Making the migration slowly but surely. Oh that's what they're called. I did not know about the gopher and gemini protocols. Thank you!
This is awsome. Thank you! :)
Thought about it it. I do have a neosmart word processor but I still want to save it onto a computer, not just have it on the machine. I decided against getting an oldschool type writer for now because it requires maintenance I may not be able to keep up with. Like you need to replace the ribbon sometimes and other parts. But I have no issue with computer maintenance.
Yes, definitely. I've heard of disc rot. There's some cloud alternatives mentioned here that I will check out.
He's had it up to here!
That's awesome. Omg that is great. ^_^
Omg that is awesome. Yes, all the writing apps. I can't wait. ^_^ I currently do use Scrivener on this device and I love it. I am down to try the older Scrivener app for linux. I saw a video on how it was installed, a bit of a finicky process but I'd say it's worth it. Thank you!
Oh no man, I won't go on there. No Chrome, no Facebook, none of that. I spit in their general direction. They are unworthy. Yes, I'll likely be using it to write in a regular word processor. I have Scrivener on this device, and it's absolutely amazing, however I hear it's a bit finicky to install on linux but not impossible. So I'm up to the challenge of that. If you write stories and like to world build, I highly recommend it. It's amazing. You know what I'm going to miss though is Livejournal. I hear not even they are safe anymore. That is awful. The whole internet is being ripped up. Fuck this year.
Oh yes, I got Tor, but I was thinking maybe I don't need it as it works a little too well. I'm curious about librewolf browser though. I may give that a shot as well. If only I was interesting enough to have classified government intel. Or a darknet drug lord. I am pretty paranoid, but not The Borne Supremacy levels of paranoid hehe. I'm learning about the different browser alternatives. I only know about Tor, Librewolf, and I was today years old when I learned about Debian. So I will check that out. Thanks so much! :)
You're probably right. I have a feeling my paranoia is more amplified and it's not quite as bad as I'm making it out to be. I got incogni to clear my data from being used by advertisers. I was sad to have to do it but I left Youtube as well because they are tied with google and it was getting unsettling. Every video I clicked on seemed to make intimate references to me, my interests, everything, and it was awful. It felt like watching someone read a page torn out from my journal or something. However I have a mental disorder that runs in my family and this may not have been how I perceived it. It can be frustrating to not know what's real and what's not. And now with how the tech companies are behaving, it's even harder to know at times.
....I'm ashamed to admit I only recently learned what data encryption is. :')
The reason I worry about being surveilled is because I draw and write, and I'm hearing more incidents of people's work being stolen without their knowing. AI art theft is a huge problem. It's stealing not just art but people's identities, people's writing, everything. It's not okay.
