Ngl, stockades and free use… Yeah

I mean, when you’re morning person you also just spend all those daylights hours at work so

Unless you work outside, I wouldn’t say there’s that much of a difference

I mean, if you’re going through tough times you do end up with a lot of personal experience with mental health struggles. That is experience you can then pass onto others

It’s always funny to me when people call Linux complicated and in the next sentence say shit like that

As if doing registry edits and group policy stuff is acceptable for basic features and settings

I can tell you that, no, you cannot always “just bounce back”. Maybe you can, good for you, but that does not apply to everyone

Yes, but when it comes to weight, it really is just calories in and calories out. A healthy diet is more than that though, indeed

You can still eat junk food and not go up in weight as long as you don’t overeat

I have like the exact opposite issue. I’ve used windows for most of my life but it’s so so much harder to actually fix issues in windows compared to Linux

And for me, the big reason for this is because windows is a black box, Linux is not. You are always able to dig however deep you’d like in Linux compared to windows. Now, that might not be relevant for a layperson directly, but what it does mean is that someone else can understand the system component intimately and help you.

Meanwhile on windows the amount of “run this command that we auto-post to every issue report that doesn’t work” I’ve seen is ridiculous, and it never solved the problem. And then I try to dig into how to actually solve it, and really struggle so much more.

Also, Microsoft just sucks as a company. Recently I’ve wanted to clone a windows installation to an external drive. Should work fine, right? I could easily get that to work for Linux, and any issue that popped up I could fix. So, tried to use clonezilla, didn’t work. Ok fine, let me reinstall. Turns out Microsoft dropped support for windows on an external drive. Well that’s garbage and dumb, as I’ve used this to my benefit in the past. But turns out, people say it still actually works, you just need to use a third party tool. Which doesn’t inspire confidence, but whatever

And it did work in the end, but it took me many many hours of extra work of trying to figure out what the problem was, giving up, then looking for more information on alternate solutions, then finally finding something that worked, albeit with more work on my part

But if it was a Linux installation I’d have been finished in an hour probably, because I expect that cloning a drive would work without much issue there

Forreal

Terraforming mars is like, a neat idea that maybe we can try as a super long term project for humanity once most of our problems are solved but…

It’s not a solution. It’s not easy, and definitively not easier than solving our projects down here on earth. It’s like, instead of repairing your leaky roof you go out and plan to build an underwater waterproof habitat dome for yourself

Or anything else really

It’s hell to try to understand something someone gave you if they don’t label things properly. It’s like “I can see there is a number here, but what the fuck does the number mean”
