    Do you know what "comp.os.linux.misc" means ?

    I decided to corrupt my system by going into twitter and
    found out it has nothing to do with Linux.

    Please read this to learn how to post on USENET, pay
    particular attention to section "Choose the correct
    newsgroup" and "Don't cross-post excessively".

    Going to a Twitter/X link "corrupted" your system?! What kind of

    I don't know about him but I've got twitter.com and x.com (etc.)
    blocked in /etc/hosts, so I'd at least have to "corrupt" that.

    Says the genius who "ruined" his GPU by watching a video. Then you completely fucked up your computer by trying to replace the video card.

    And you are laughing at others. Take a good, long look in the mirror.
