I got a galaxy watch thinking I'd do all these cool things with it. Ultimately I only used it to set alarms to let me know my tea is ready..

I only really use the mechanical watch now.

My personal laptop is whatever the first gen Framework is called. After many, many years doing the "cool" distros, I've settled on Mint and don't really have any motivation to do anything else.. I have real work I need to do and can't be bothered to deal with figuring out weird shit. I just need it to work.

TBH, the only things I use my laptop for anymore is a browser, vim, git, and kubernetes tooling.. I barely have any interest in running Linux on a workstation at this point. The only things that really interest me anymore are being run in distributed clusters. Desktop Linux is kinda boring and tedious for me.

Yeah agreed. I use copilot too. It's fine for small, limited tasks/functions but that's about it. The overwhelming majority of my work is systems design and maintenance though.. There's no AI for that..

Those days gave me a career so I can't really complain.

Back in the dark, old days of Linux I spent 5-6 hours digging through dbus events and X11 configs to get my mouse working. It was unplugged.

In my defense, in those days, Linux was such an insane asylum that diving into dbus and X11 as a first step was usually the logical approach.

I actually really like The Night Before. That ~~Joe~~ Seth Rogan movie. It's the only one I've been rewatching over the last few years.

I'm living in Tbilisi, Georgia. There are TONS of older foreign cars here with damage that would clearly fail an inspection in places like America.. Lots and lots of cars driving around with crumple zones that have been destroyed but the engine works fine. Apparently it's cheaper to import one of these than it is to buy a car here.

It's not just American and European cat's either. There are significant numbers of Japanese imports as well which have the steering wheel on the wrong side. Sometimes you'll get picked up in a taxi and the whole radio/infotainment screen is all Japanese.

No. Just change the location.

Meetup.com is how you get to know people in Tokyo. I lived there for a few years and this was extremely popular.
