Trick question, they’re the same guy.

That seems like a cool idea to me. I follow a lot of “general question” communities and it is a little hard to distinguish them sometimes. It’d be nice to have a unique marker.

Nothing in particular. Just had blood drawn and now eating a snack.

I know there are some lighter-weight custom versions of Windows floating around, but I’ve never used one and I don’t know how well they’d work for your needs. EDIT: Tiny10/Tiny11 are examples, here’s a source for them.

IME the best way to avoid this experience is to just soften your language slightly and be willing to take the extra ten minutes to provide resources to people. “Switch to Linux” is a command, and people generally don’t like being told what to do. “Have you considered switching to Linux? It doesn’t have as many problems with [whatever] as Windows” with a link to a “Linux for noobs” type guide doesn’t get the same response. And be willing to take “no” for an answer!

Psych is fascinating! But you can do precisely “jack” and “squat” with a bachelor’s, and I don’t have the temperament for academia so I’m not getting a higher degree, at least not in that field. So yeah, definitely don’t go into psych unless you’re prepared to get a master’s, absolute minimum.

I am looking into going back to school! Looking at getting an associate’s in IT. I already have a bachelor’s in psych but it, uh, hasn’t worked out.

A miserable little pile of documentation.

Our last apartment had a microwave that insisted that the off/cancel button was ONLY for the microwave part and NOT the timer part, and if you tried to use it to turn off the timer, would display a message saying “push timer button to turn timer off” (or smth to that effect). I found it infuriating. I told my wife, “if they can program it to sass me, they can program it to turn the damn timer off.”

Anyway. I get it.

Ooh, I knew about the Debian switch but didn’t know about thr btrfs. Currently using SpiralLinux as my daily driver but might have to look into Tuxedo at some point.
