They will fire the editor and writer (who are probably overworked and forced to use AI slop to meet deadlines), and the cycle begins anew.

Ok for realsies since you guys were asking real questions lol. I'm a professional software engineer, ex-top-tech, my setup is extravagantly complex. It did take a few hundred hours but it includes 15TB of data hoard, roms, emus, dos and flash games, Plex media server for home usage, a dizzying array of decades old software I've written in dozens of languages, very old obscure deprecated media formats like GMAX, a syncing script to keep it all organized and backed up with encrypted and chunked pCloud/local clones (20 rclone commands). Custom optical disc backup scripts and paper barcode storage because I'm also into cryonics. 50ish cryptocurrencies. Many online financial accounts, scripts to manage the tangle, scripts to manage the scripts.

Flashing and installing Ubuntu took an hour. I uncovered a bug where USB Sata connection install doesn't work with LUKS FDE. To give you an idea of why my ultra complex setup slows me down, lol.

I've dual booted on and off for 15 years (I unknowingly installed everything from source back then!) but with my first child coming I've been reconsidering my values and made the full switch to FOSS. Also dual booting Qubes OS for a while, for fun.

I chose Ubuntu because I'm into Stable Diffusion AI and have an NVIDIA GPU, I'm time constrained and Ubuntu "just works" but I do plan to hop onto Debian/Gnome when I'm more settled. I use no other Ubuntu functionality. This will shock you but I prefer simplicity. Lol.

Not sure, it was on a USB in a Walmart parking lot. Something called freetacos.exe

Yes, it's Linux Inc.'s newest OS.

Without voter purging and other forms of systemic cheating, he wasn't even close to winning.

I'm very much into privacy/FOSS so I have an old school Polaroid with no Bluetooth, where I manually screenshot my porn every 5 seconds with my left hand. Then I've been sending the pile every day to Satya Nadella at Microsoft HQ, Seattle via Snail Mail.

Installation took 1 hour. Converting all my powershell scripts took 10. Copying my yummies from NTFS to Ext5 took 290 hours, I had to watch each and every one to be sure.

One time a vegan saw me accidentally swallow a bug. They got super violent and tried killing me with their birkenstocks. Luckily they cried so hard they had an aneurysm right then and there. Everyone, cows chickens and humans, clapped at my bravery. The CEO of Tyson saw this and made me his protege and sole heir. Eat meat and avoid fruit juice guys, it worked for me.

I remember when Pi was monetized, that sounds like Pi Common, only $9.99/mo for 0 significant digits.
