Instead of linking to a jpeg hosted on a non-HTTPS website for a weird investments scam you could just link wikipedia:
Reuters just regurgitating investor-bait because they have no domain expertise. Maybe Reuters journalists should be getting some training from experts too.
Halt and Catch Fire
Then what you bought is not a mouse, it's a proprietary peripheral that emulates a mouse when you install its propretary drivers.
Back in the 00’s we had to fiddle with ifconfig and friggin’ /etc/network by hand. Things have gotten a lot better.
I was just thinking that I've never had any problems with either WiFi or Ethernet connectivity since NetworkManager became a standard part of modern distros. Before that I was having to install windows drivers with ndiswrapper and configure interfaces manually in ifup and ifdown scripts, and I haven't had to do that for at least 15 years now.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but railing against "forced diversity" is just a dog-whistle for rejecting actual diversity.
Normal people don't actually care about it. If something is shit because it's badly written with bad character design then we say "it's shit because it's badly written and has bad character design," not "it's bad because it has women and minorities."
You clicked the tree somewhere and it would tell you either to try again, or you would win something. I think most people who won got $5 and a monkey plush toy. I'm not sure anyone ever won the jackpot. You could just click over and over again trying to remember where you had previously clicked, like a treasure hunt.

Most people know at this point that when searching for a popular software package to download, you should be very careful to avoid clicking on any of the search ads that appear, as this has become an extremely common vector for distributing malware to unsuspecting users.
If you thought that you could identify these malicious ads by checking the URL below the ad to see if it directs to the legitimate site, think again! Malware advertisers have found a way to use Google's Ad platform to fake the URL shown with the ad to make it appear like a legitimate ad for the product when in fact, clicking the ad will redirect to an attacker controlled site serving malware.
Don't click on search ads or, even better, use an ad-blocker so that you never see them in the first place!
