This is what finally got me to switch to Linux years ago. Back when Virtual machines were relatively new I was messing around with them and hated having to scrounge for windows licenses to use in the VM’s. (Back then you had to enter the CD Key to begin installing the OS, they didn’t have trial periods, or ‘activate later’ options) started using Linux in VM’s to try it out, and boom 15 years later, I’m never going back.

Very true, and Its also kinda too late. (at least in the USA) we have an election coming up in 9 months that has been raging since the last election with misinformation surrounding it. Kinda too late to pull all those Facebook memes and fake articles and go “just kidding! That was all lies!” Everyone who’s been spoon fed that crap has already made up their mind on who they’re voting for, you’re not gonna change it last minute, damage had already been done.

Riiight around Reagan is when things accelerated going south…

It won’t burn down, carriers won’t care. To them its a customer issue, they’re providing the service just fine, so their job is done. Whether or not your number is blocked by other clients is your problem. Only class of customer they might care about is business lines, because you’re paying them to have better services, uptime, etc, etc.
