Systemd has simplified my life on a few occasions, and it seems to be reliable from what I can tell. At the end of the day if I can get the OS to do what I want in a relatively simple matter, that’s all I care about.

Besides plenty of other reasons people mentioned, Gen Z in particular is pretty antisocial. I’ve seen them hang out at bars, they might get one drink and just stare at their phone. Just anecdotal, but from what I’ve gathered it definitely feels like those type of folk either don’t know how to have fun or are averse to it. I don’t mean that in a completely negative way, either. I think covid really made a lot of people in general more socially inept. Again, I don’t mean that to denegrate and I’ve definitely felt that a bit myself.

People saying users are the bane of IT professionals are just antisocial whiners. The real bane of an IT professional is fucking printers. Fuck printers.

I use Sensodyne brand and I don’t feel like the taste lingers very long, I may just be tolerant though because I have used the same brand for years.

I can anecdotally attest to this. I’ve been using the same Samsung phone since basically 2020 with original battery and the runtime is still damn good for what I need.

This may not be the answer you are looking for, but one method would be to use WSL on windows to run a Linux distro with Docker installed and just migrate everything over, basically 1-to-1. Then set WSL to auto start when you boot up windows. If you install Docker Desktop on Windows, it will also pick up that you’re using Docket via WSL and allow you to manage shit from the client. I don’t do that though, I’m a masochist old-school.

10 years? No way

They’re under a class-action lawsuit currently for using biometric data in a US state where it’s illegal. Just kinda interesting. https://www.bipatestsettlement.com/Home/FAQ

Makes me feel a bit better, the game hits my 1080Ti pretty hard also. I also don’t play many modern or really any modern Unreal games so I didn’t know what to expect.

Ubuntu, before Unity and eventually Gnome desktop 🫢

I primarily run Linux server distros for what I like to do. I usually do Debian since it’s a nice base to just add whatever on to (sudo isn’t even installed out of the box) so I have been working on a customized install script but if I don’t feel like messing around too much I just go with Ubuntu and avoid using snaps for anything I care about (especially Docker, like wtf is with the snap version of Docker). I like the default toolset of Debian based distros and not having to screw with SELinux.

graves in my ass

I have amazing and fairly intelligent parents I can always talk to, but their level of cognitive dissonance on some subjects is absolutely insane so I know what to avoid talking about or responding to.

This is not a solution at all and just what I usually resort to, I always disable sleep on every OS and computer I use. I’ve always had strange issues after waking up from sleep that persist until reboot and I can’t even remember what they are now because it’s been so long since I’ve used it.

I have two go-to combos that never fail me:

• bacon and pineapple
• pepperoni and bananna peppers

Both are also fire as hell with Tajín, more specifically the former.

Imagine being so dense and joyless that you can’t even recognize true love when you see it

I am a huge fan of using PowerShell for scripting on Linux. I use it a ton on Windows already and it allows me to write damn near cross-platform scripts with no extra effort. I still usually use a Bash or Fish shell but for scripting I love being able to utilize powershell.

Just wanna say, this is gorgous
