I mostly ignore calls from unknown numbers, but if I ever answer any I do something similar, but I use gibberish.
"Hello sir, I'm calling to see if you are aware of the latest energy deals in your area?"
I respond with something like: 'Ha felth malak nakufi parament, cheeshan bah farkone.'
I then get very animatedly exasperated with them if they can't understand me.
'BISHAN TA FALAF TOOSH? MAIR PUNAN TA FALAS!!! EDGEKA, EDGEKA MALA!!!!'
I never end the call, always keep going until they do, which is often pretty quickly these days unfortunately, because I've started to kind of enjoy playing with them.
Occasionally if it's clearly a scam call rather than a spam call and I have time, I'll actually pretend to play along dumbly to see how long I can keep them on the line. All time record is 49 minutes during the pandemic lockdown (I was bored). The guy finally caught on and released a barrage of expletives and wished me death. It was awesome!
Good question - and one that doesn't seem to get asked a lot.
I'm not sure exactly where it's all leading, but I suspect it's going to be a much less likeable world. At least for a while, until we come out the other end...if we're even around long enough to see the other end.
I started using windows as a kid (Win 3.1). Was more or less happy to be a windows user through all of the various versions, although 95, XP and 7 were the most usable.
For the first time in about 35 years, I'm genuinely unhappy with Windows and am looking at other options.
They've really dropped the ball if users like me are unhappy.

Great if you like playing cosy/chill/life sim type games. Won't be of interest if you don't.
Basically they've borrowed all the best aspects of things like Stardew Valley and the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games.
But with better graphics and better quality of life and gameplay.
By far the best game of its type IMO. Very relaxing and very addictive. Still has a few bugs, but nothing too serious.
Great pic.
It's a beautiful part of the world.
Adguard for Android
So nice not to see ads on any web sites or within any apps.
If it is ever off, I'm reminded how bad things are out there.
I like a bit of variety.
Try .se
Yep.

As another option, this is a good free alternative you could try:

I bought it (before it became free) and once I got used to it found it really good.
Android?
Well, in a way that's true. You don't need any specific tech or device to read it, just your eyes.
If someone dug this thing up in a billion years, will they have the device to read it?
What is the best source for audiobooks?
I guess we're not ready for that yet, but our kids are going to love it.
