And I suppose you could go VOIP for calls but now you're really getting paranoid

Unless your CIA or in a sensitive environment where you're being monitored, its probably not worth it

Always use VPN though

Reaching out to the experts 📢🚨

I am trying to install Linux Mint 21.3 in my Windows laptop. I have followed the installation steps, but I am stuck at the integrity check.

I have downloaded the correct sha256sum.txt and sha256sum.txt.gpg, from Mint’s Heanet Download Mirror and from two different download mirrors (one from the USA and one from the UK).

When I generate their SHA256 sum and compare it with the sum present in sha256sum.txt. results don’t match. Like I said, I have downloaded the ISO images multiple times, from different download mirrors, and these don’t match.

Obviously I have not continued with the installation process, but I don’t know what I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Black Swans are the obvious issue most don’t see because the average person just plays along with irrational explanations.

There are a small, but quite a few, that see Black Swans because they think logically, rationally prepare, and *can* wait long enough in a position. They can wait for the adverse event to unfold. Most can’t.

It’s not that Black Swans are unseen or unknown.

It’s that *most* choose to ignore the obvious signs.

Typically, because it means not taking the easy route, or making a big change to one’s lifestyle. So, only a few are willing to do this and are rewarded handsomely for doing so.

Ex: in 2008 it was *very* clear that Central Banks were becoming absurdly large hedge funds that had lost control, with no bigger fish to come in and backstop them.

However, it was not until a decade later that they finally began failing. 2018 - 2022.

It is very clear that US College Education is and has been an enormous bubble. Subsidized by govt grants and funding, & supported by issuing enormous bond amounts to overbuild. They can’t pay the interest expense so they raise tuition every year and use that raise to pay bondholder interest expense. The definition of ponzi.

This Black Swan has failed to happen… yet. But is very, clear, obvious and open.
