There was absolutely overlap. One of them is one of my parents is one of them.
Though I’m sure “finding Jesus” in the late 80s/early 90s didn’t help.

- Comment on Net neutrality is back as FCC votes to regulate internet providers 3 weeks ago:

Linux is not an option due legacy software compatibility - they do more than use a browser.
I think you’d be surprised. But obviously this isn’t what you’re looking for.
