HEY LOOK ARCH

Tuxedo OS is what I settled on bc I wanted stability + KDE

Oof. Thanks for this. Looks like Tuxedo OS might be the best of both worlds

Cool ty. Advertising is a non starter for me so it sounds like KDE neon is the way to go. I also prefer a more minimalist approach (but not at the cost of stability) so that seems like a better fit too.

Do you have any thoughts on KDE neon vs kubuntu? I’m looking to get back into daily driving Linux after a multi year break

Exercising has really helped with this, and getting better sleep (the 2 go together I think)

I haven’t seen my pcp in like 3 years. $200 to go in for no reason and have them tell me I’m fat? No thanks.

I should probably diy bloodwork though just to make sure I don’t have elevated white blood cell counts or sth

Edit: the wait for pcps is structural bc they don’t earn the same exorbitant salaries as specialists but still have to pay backbreaking med school costs, so there’s a shortage.

Here in the US, if you have health insurance, any time you go to the doctor it’s $200. That’s if you have a doctor to go to. So we mostly don’t go, until it’s really bad, then maybe you have to go to the hospital, which may be a few thousand bucks on the low end and bankruptcy on the high end. You have no idea what you will pay when you go, they send you a bill in the mail that arrives 2-3 weeks later.

So we pretty much avoid interacting with the medical system at all costs.

If you do want to see a doctor or specialist it’s pretty easy since they are businesses, you just call them up and make an appointment. But what do I look like over here, John D. Rockefeller?

Then we die young of easily preventable diseases.

This is why saying your pronouns even if you’re obviously cis is cool and good bc it normalizes it

Yeah I’m with you. Just look at reddit. Enshitification has gone too far and it’s leading to decentralization. Here we are, after all.

I’m sure the streaming services are next. The nice thing about software tech is it is easy for folks to develop alternatives

I have that device

It is my phone

That America was good and a positive force in the world

Imo big corporations are way more likely to follow the law than some small business tyrant
