For a headless server: Ubuntu. Solid, reliable and stable for many years.

For gaming: Pop OS looks promising now that cosmic has been released, however I’d probably stick with Fedora as it’s leading edge and has served me well so far.

Because they’re weak.

In all seriousness, income has stayed about the same in nominal terms, but the cost of living has gone way up even between millennials and gen z. So really income has gone down and booze is much more of a luxury.

I’m in this comic and don’t like it.

You must construct additional pylons.

Words to live by.

You could put it up on ResearchGate first to get eyes across it and potentially get an endorsement. Then reach out to the endorser to get sponsored for arXiv.

The other option is to submit it for peer review. You’d need to to look up the best pathway based on your field.

The professor tried to warn us about robosexuals but we didn’t listen.

I especially love the feeling when you’re so fatigued from lack of sleep that you’re too tired to sleep.

Guns ‘N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle. I don’t like GNR full stop, but the radio station I used to wake up to on the alarm clock would play that song at exactly the same time everyday.

Couldn’t understand why I used to wake up angry every morning until I changed stations.

New Zealand music month is great for getting out and seeing local bands play.

What all this does is accelerate the day when AI becomes worthless.

It was always worthless. Or, at least, it was always worthless thinking that LLMs were a substitute for reasoning AI, which is what it appears many people have been suckered into.

6 has unintended consequences. Always happy? At a funeral for a loved one? No thanks, I want to feel their passing properly.

I’d be fine with just 2. Possibly not good for the heart, pancreas, or liver though.

Yeah that’s a fair criticism. I can see how it would be polarising. Personally, I don’t mind a bit of slap and tickle in books and I think it thematically fits the hyper-individualist universes in each series.

Megan O’Keefe’s Protectorate Trilogy is a fun read that reminds me a bit of Hamilton’s writing without all the sex.

Positive research papers on trickle down economics are always printed on yellow paper for this very reason.

Office Space on ketamine.

Seems like it would have been cheaper, easier, and better pr to just simplify settings or have them in more logical categories, but what would I know.

A different distro isn’t going to help. It’s an issue of game telemetry and hardware not being supported. Unfortunately Simracing really requires dual-booting windows.

This is a weird one, but read up on folder structures. If you’ve used MacOS at all then the logic is very similar. However if you’re coming from a pure windows background then it can get confusing figuring out where everything gets put when you install applications or need to make changes to config files.

The Pop desktop environment and search works well the vast majority of the time but it’s handy to know how to find you’re way around when you hit a roadblock.

Make music, write terrible sci-fi, and publish economics research (assuming we haven’t reached post-scarcity yet).

Basically I’d have time to actually dedicate myself to my hobbies.

There’s not unfortunately. But the custom maps made by users are great.

Playing Beat Saber to Korn tracks is the best damn cardio exercise on the planet.
