Based on the number of c levels I deal with daily who can't function without AI, I certainly knew this
So... Debian then? Hannah Montana Linux has historically been a kubuntu reskin
My wife worked in ICU then COVID ICU. She still gets PTSD flashbacks from everything she dealt with when someone comes in with similar symptoms. I got front row tickets to seeing a person who's entire job is to keep people alive go from "oh someone I had today coded and we couldn't bring them back" every so often to "we had multiple people die today. A few more aren't much longer. If we put them on their back, they'll die. If we give them water, they'll choke and die. They still refuse to believe that COVID is real as they are actively suffering and dying of it".
Yeah, we get a touch testy when people say it was fake or overblown
Member when the government cared about monopolies and forced companies to split completely when they got too much market share?
Or that time a deadly flu swept through the world and while it did kill a bunch of people (and change the course of history in interesting ways), people and the government followed best practices known by science at the time and social distanced/masked up as best they understood it? Yeah, it got a racial nickname of Spanish flu despite it not originating there but still.
You know, I don't think inflation will make much of a difference in this case
Edit: I looked it up. $1 usd in 2000 is $1.94 in 2026 money. So.... Amount in 2000 is $36 million. Not quite the 2.6 billion today
They very clearly stated it was nobodies business but the Turks
As someone who deals with various windows bullshit on the daily, 8gb for win11 is fine assuming you don't use any applications. If you want to actually use the machine, 16gb is the absolute minimum
The good/bad news is that the old "I swear to God you bootlickers need a good ass kicking" and "Jesus is ashamed at what you do in his name" styles of country are making a comeback
And for inclusivity, there's a sub genre devoted to the "you tried to end my people but I will not die" style which includes focuses on lgbtqia+, women in general, pagans/wiccans, indigenous groups, other, and various combinations therein
The bog witches, fae creatures, and {unknown description of Appalachian denizens} have been putting out some good stuff
For me, it was realizing that while I was smart, the shit level of schooling was more an impediment to me gaining the skills needed to continue excelling and I continue to be surrounded by absolute dipshits wherever I go.
In school, I didn't have to study to pass and there was no real incentive to learn how to. This bit me when it came to university because the lectures didn't cover everything that was to be tested on. Turns out, trying is a skill I never needed until then.
Then, in the workforce, I'm constantly exhausted dealing with people who are at best functionally literate and I have to cater to their understanding of literally everything. No desire to either understand the problem or fix the root cause, just make the thing do what they want right then.
After having basic camera setups with simple trackers, I was gifted a seestar s30. Closed in back yard has a small area that isn't covered in trees but has a perfect view of Orion. Going to let it run as long as I dare tonight and pull the fits files to import into siril and do a proper stacking but the apps stacking after only fifteen minutes is already making me excited for what I can pull out of it with an hour+ integration time.
Now if the clouds and fog stay away long enough for me to get quality subs, I'll be a happy night owl
Edit: cloud bank came rolling in shortly afterwards. Will have better seeing the next few nights so hopefully will be able to get a lot more time to help clear up the noise and improve detail. Fifteen minutes is nowhere near enough
I believe this would be a good definition for gallows humor
Pov: my brain at night
