I know I used to hate it when tech did this, and basically refused to support certain things back in my M$ and Apple only days, often for very silly reasons, but I'm going to fight back using the same exact strategies Corporate Operating systems do. See, Creepingnet's world is a Microslop free Zone, and I only use the FREE parts of Apple's O/S for some very specific purposes (ie Garageband). Otherwise, I refuse to support, endorse, evangelize, or otherwise promote corporate Operating Systems in home environments until the industry takes a far less aggressive and deliberatley authorative stance on how we use our computers in the home. So from now on, CreepingNet's world is 100% FOSS supportive - Free Open Source Software. If it's not OpenSource, then it's not supported by me.

Let's explain why. In 2026, a lot of legislation has been put fourth to attempt to take control of the desktops of home users worldwide under the bullshit guise of "for the children". If it REALLY was for the children, everyone in the Jeffrey Epstien files would be sitting behind bars. So don't tell me this bullshit. I'm talking about "Age Verification" bulls, such as those put fourth by the state of Kommiefornia and Brazil most notably. To add to it, A.I. is being forced upon us in the form of desktop computers with various neural processors installed, and modern tech data centers are threatening to ruin the water supplies and power providers of cities nationwide in America. So it is with that, I choose as a consumer to vote with my wallet, and give big tech no more of my money. This is all because of the Trump Adminsitration, Palantir, Project 2025 which is spearheaded by Christian Theocractic Dictatorship supporting thinktanks like Turning Point USA and The Heritage Foundation - none of which I support. I belive being able to stay anonymous at home to protect your family members, finances, is your personal responsibility as a computer owner. We shouldn't trust anyone who says "Were with xx-Corporatation/The Government, We're Here to Help", that's how we end up with Germany circa 1942. Computers and Tech in general is like a gun, you need to be responsible with them. And if you cant be, maybe you shouldn't own one. And being responsible is common sense, which isn't really so common anymore.

So CreepingNet's world no longer supports Microslop or really Apple in any official capacity. But what this site does support is the continued use of your old computer for a long period of time, the original spirit of what "The Creeping Network" was about when I ran that site. So our official Linux distribution for ALL computers - PC and Macintosh - is Linux Mint. So that's what all my articles are going to cover. I am not covering MacOS or Microslop, because I'm not helping anyone feed the bullshit Empire anymore in a non-professional capacity, and Linux will soon be added to my long list of credentials in my real life as a professional capacity capability as well.
