but... speaking of miscellaneous computer issues, e.g. video sharing etc.

OBS Studio (https://obsproject.com/) works great for recording streaming
videos; e.g., movies, tv series, etc. saved to mp4 format for viewing on
other devices by using obs "display capture" to record streaming content
while displayed full screen in the web browser; e.g., in mozilla firefox
uncheck "use recommended performance settings" and uncheck "use hardware
acceleration when available"; obs "hide obs windows from screen capture"
and software video encoding (same as stream, x264), save streaming video
(this method may not work with some "digital rights management" sources)

and...

for this example, the popular newsreader 40tude dialog makes scoring
on all headers easy, even for the novice; it's plain text and can be
tested in settings > scoring and actions, and matched help > regular
expression tester; score numbers can be anything from -9999 to +9999

In order for democracy to function, all information consumed by the public
has to be officially approved by the government.

Without total information control, democracy, the perfect system of
government, collapses.

People think that just because democracy is perfect it must be strong. But
no. It is so weak that it can be destroyed by news articles on people's
phones.

We cannot lose our democracy. We will lose our child trannies, we will lose
our windmills, we will lose our open borders, we will lose the war in the
Ukraine.

We have to shut down all information not explicitly approved by the
government.

Paganini was born in 1782, so that makes a good mnemonic for scoring
the popular "paganini.bofh.team" server . . . who is this "paganini"?

the venerated namesake of this excellent news server (with good article
retention) is of course the great virtuoso violinist and composer . . .
Niccolo Paganini was born to Antonio & Teresa Bocciardo-Paganini at the
house on 38 Passo di Gattamora (8E56:00,44N24:14), Repubblica di Genova
Sunday 27 October 1782 (AA/BR). Chiesa San Salvatore (8E55:53,44N24:14).

simply adding just a few more servers, the scoring list keeps growing...
