I think it is because the EU listened to the people. This is what you get when elected representatives are not bankrolled by big business, and are allowed to enact legislation that doesn't only benefit one side.

I really don’t get it.
I'm still on Xitter, but on my own terms. I use a plugin called Control Panel for Twitter, which means I don't get anything on my feed other than stuff from those I follow, and what they share, unless they share some bollocks then I will block shares from them. There are a bunch of Hong Kong activists, journalists and fellow HK travelers who don't use other platforms yet, and I don't want to get cut off from what's happening there. There is also good motorsports contributors, who also post on TikTok and IG which I refuse to go near. In addition there are feeds and posters related to my work, some I can't see anywhere else, then there is some random stuff I can't see anywhere else.
I don't have the Xitter app on my phone and use the same Control Panel plugin to ensure my terms of engagement are maintained on mobile. This plugin, for example blocks anyone who paid Xitter for a blue badge, so I don't see any of their putrid bile in response to those I follow. It also frees you from the "algorithm" that determines what Xitter want's you to see, I only get a chronological timeline feed. Upsells, ads, who to follow, bookmarks and other random bits of UI I never use are also gone.
Basically, it is exactly how I want the whole Xitter experience with none of elmo's shit polluting my screen.

Your case has probably got enough spare space that the airflow is good, with all my drive slots filled up I was finding that the temps were getting high, especially during a parity check with everything stressed. So I updated to Noctua PVM fans and used the Dynamix fan control plugin that keeps things nice and cool.
What I love is that with 6 bays, you can potentially get 100 TB usable in that tiny little package if you go for 20TB drives, and you can add them over time, something you could not do with a NAS. The Unraid USP.

My initial setup was an old i3-6100, 500 GB nvme drive cache, and 4x8TB drives from my old NAS. The only extra costs were for the nvme drive, I had an old case as well, and a basic Unraid license, which was $50 I think. Lots of setup guides available, SpaceinvaderOne's YouTube channel is a good start.
As long as you don't need any heavy transcoding of media files for Emby/Plex/Jellyfin this spec is fine as a starter.
My current server is an i5-11400, Gigabyte Z590 board and I added 2 14TB drives which meant I had to upgrade my Unraid licence. I also needed a PCI board to cope with the extra sata ports and I got a nice Fractal Node 304 case so it is sitting below my TV. The drives were schucked external drives so not super expensive, total cost about $800 I think. Unraid uses parity disk(s) rather than Raid, one of the 14TB discs is setup as my parity which means my array is 46TB. The onboard UHD Graphics on the i5 can handle transcoding ok.
I run Sonaar/Radaar/Readaar/Lidaar for media, with Prowlaar managing usenet and torrent connections via sabnzbd and deluge, via a VPN.

Rather than a NAS, consider building an Unraid server, I built my first one from old hardware that I repurposed, my current one is a little more sophisticated but not over the top.
Unraid can be setup as an automated media server with all the ARRs running to manage your library.

I worked at a software developer, occasionally doing support. Had a call from a customer following up on a ticket, I looked at the record and the salty dude who took the original call had written:
Caller asked me to tell him where he saved his file. I told him "well if you can tell me where I parked my car this morning, I might be able to help you."
Quality wasn't a big thing with our software, the senior developer was a stoner who was off his head most of the time, others were either clueless or too busy on side hustles to give a fuck. Amazingly we developed engineering software that was used by amongst others, the atomic weapons establishment in the UK and Buckingham Palace. Happy days.

As a boomer, I don't recall my parents teaching me anything about prejudice, the same at school. The only guidance on prejudice came from my religious education (I'm RC by birth) and to be honest it was completely the opposite to this sentiment. We were taught, for example, that Protestants were evil and that we should never befriend them or trust them.
I stopped going to church when I was about 11, it no longer felt relevant and the teachings were against my own personal beliefs. I had grown up with friends who were of different faiths, Jewish, Protestant, Muslim as well as Catholic, and didn't consider them to be anything other than buddies.
Some religious teachings have value, but by promoting prejudice as well, the impact is diminished. The only times I have been in church since I was 11 were for weddings and funerals.

The internet access on my network is much more varied, 12 clients including work laptops, an HTPC, Unraid server, smart TV, phones, watches, tablets, games console, VR headset. Several of these use VPNs so bypass the piholes, I used to see up to 45% a few years ago, but I see no reason to switch them off just because other systems are taking up the slack. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I saw an ad.

Under previous non-technical CEOs Intel lost it's focus on innovation leadership and became a commodity supplier, losing ground to AMD and NVIDIA. Pat Gelsinger is different, he's an engineer, he led the 486 program, he is committed to regaining technical leadership and compete with TSMC as a foundry player. The Intel 4 node is now in mass production, Intel 3, 20A and 18A will follow in the next 2 years. New foundry capacity is being added in every factory, and new sites are being developed, 10's of billions of investment, None-core business units are being divested. 15th generation processors with be AI native, the plan is that in the same way as Centrino kick started WiFi, AI support on the desktop will be a game changer.
Are these things that dying companies do?

Mine was removed by Corporate IT, along with a bunch of other open source stuff that made my life bearable.
Also I spent 5 months with our cyber security guys to try and provide a simple file replication server for my team working in a remote office with shit internet connectivity. I gave up, the spooks put up a solid defense, push all the onerous IT security compliance checking onto my desk instead of taking control.
Not as bad as my previous company though, outsourced IT support to ATOS was a nightmare.
