You can just turn on light mode you know.

I was fortunate to have a flexible job in administration. I was doing about 32 hours a week ( 4 days a week ), then part time college, 6pm - 10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, then 9am - 6pm on Saturdays, started when I was 30, graduated this year. I was able to keep this going for the whole 4 years in college and graduated with decent grades too. It was still exhausting, no free time since my free time was being spent working on college assignments. Not sure how folks who do both full time work and college manage.

It helps a lot to have a somewhat flexible job, and a supportive partner.

That's all well and good, but did you stop for a moment to think if you raise to your cat's expectations, hmm? Cat has expectations from their human servant. You're lucky cats don't have thumbs, it'd be water spray in the face every time you move.

Yep, this fully makes sense.

openbox, the bunsen labs setup on Debian 11. Love me some crunchbang :D

I love it!

Audio books here. When I cook, when I'm at the gym, beginning of my shift while I go through my emails. I listen to mostly trashy sci-fi books, sometimes good / decent sci-fi. At the third book in the "Three body problem" trilogy now, it's pretty damn good.

I average at one - two books a month. Great majority sci-fi. I read only for fun, to disconnect, so my bar for quality is pretty low, there's a loooot of fun stuff out there.

Yep. Like it or not, crap needs to be done. Compensating individuals fairly for their contributions to society should be a priority for everyone. Currently, people working in low skilled but often physically demanding jobs are severely overworked and underpaid. We really need to start addressing that, and the whole antiwork approach to this is not helping.

I'm using contabo for over a year now. Using they're cheapest version, hosting a nextcloud instance with 300 GB of storage, €5 / month. It's slow, but perfectly serviceable if you're not relying on the web interface. Independent German company, in the business for a long time. Stable, reliable, not a single complaint.

It's so annoying because the tech behind it all is cool. But no, ppl are just gambling with it.

I completely agree that as it is now, Linux is a tool, suited to a variety of purposes, hard core gaming not being one of them. That being said, I have nothing against people who wish to spend their time and energy to make it suitable for a wider range of purposes. Linus came from the POV of a random gamerbro trying to get stuff running (with some exotic hardware) and he actually managed to point out some valid UX flaws.

The way I interact with computers as a dev is different than of other users, it's refreshing to see a different perspective.
