If I were on the market for a new laptop, I would definitely buy from Framework

In my experience reading is much more efficient than watching/interacting with a screen. It doesn't need to be something thought provoking, might even be some comics if it suits you more. But written words have power because you make your own rendition in your mind.

I remember getting my Nokia 8210, one of the smallest phones ever, you didn't need to buy a bag or bring a jacket just to carry the phone around... Incredible concept

As a huge Metallica fan myself I'd say the Black Album has more to its sound than it has to its songwriting, which is not a bad thing in itself but still a strong departure, even more so after an album like ...And Justice for All. I still really enjoy it though.

Soundgarden's career is a bit convoluted, but Badmotorfinger is my absolute favourite, the guitar sounds in there are absolutely gorgeous and the songwriting has something of this early 90s, hardboiled, Helmet-style grit that I've been digging, more particularly on songs like Slaves & Bulldozers or Mind Riot.

Also thank you for mentioning Fear Factory, this band never get enough credit and their first album is a classic

Three months ago, I quit my job as a derivatives analyst to study janitorial science.

My mother cried. My father sent me a Wikipedia article about "sunk cost fallacy." My college roommate texted a single question mark.

I didn't respond to any of them.

I enrolled in the Custodial Arts Certificate Program at a community college in Fresno, where my instructor, a former competitive speed-mopper named Gerald, told me on day one: "The mop doesn't lie to you. The spreadsheet does."

Gerald has mopped the floors of three Olympic venues and one papal visit. He speaks about grout lines the way Yo-Yo Ma talks about Bach.

I am currently failing the Stain Identification module.

But here's what I know: Diogenes of Sinope lived in a barrel and considered it a complete life. He told Alexander the Great to get out of his sunlight. That's the energy I'm bringing to my squeegee certification.

My LinkedIn connections have dropped by forty percent.

Worth it.

The floors aren't going to clean themselves. And apparently, neither am I.

Still studying. Still mopping. Still here.

The first distro I used was SuSE (yes, before there was "Open" in the name 😅) on a Pentium III

I spent many years on Arch, but it don't think it's the distro I used the most any longer...

The distro I am using now is Fedora Workstation, which has been my daily driver for a dozen years now, and it's also my favorite distro.

The distro I'll be using in the future may be Silverblue

The distro I hate the most... is Ubuntu 😆 I had so many troubles over the years with this one, there was always something nonfunctional

My honorable mention: CachyOS looks pretty nice 😉

As for all the distros I tried... there's way too many 😅
