I installed Virtual Box, it's a virtual machine that runs a full install of Windows. So in practice I installed Affinity on Windows that runs inside Linux.

I was between CachyOS and Bazzite and decided for Bazzite for being a more stable and hassle free OS from what I read, because it's not a rolling distro with frequent updates that may break something. I went all in, deleting my Windows partition and am pretty happy with it ao far. I do have Affinity and Concepts that are windows only and I'm using VirtualBox for those.

I'm a simple man. I see a LTT video, I downvote.

I'm assuming you're not rich, so the first thing is: get a job. Start to work and saving what you can. It's important to keep moving to keep the inertia going and not stall in a place where you're completely broke.

What job? Whatever. Do Uber. Do McDonalds. Look for something. Get experience. Forget about dreams. They are useless and overrated. In the process of doing jobs, be curious. Spend the energy you would spend on dreaming into observing. You will find quickly what you like and what you hate. If the job is not for you get out and find another one. Go towards things you like, feel comfortable and feel capable doing.

While doing it ask yourself "What's next?", followed by "How?". I'm working in car shop cleaning and organizing, what's next? Fixing cars looks interesting, maybe I should try that? How? I'll try to learn from these guys and do courses. What's next? I may get a job fixing cars. Great, I know how to fix cars, they hired me and I like it. What's next? Maybe having my own shop? How? You get the idea.

Keep a diary. It's hard because it feels ridiculous. Like a teenager rambling about feelings. I still hate doing it to this day, and I'm 50. But it gives me insights about things I'm doing, because it helps you to see patterns in your behaviour. Like quitting when things were too hard to do because the noise in my head was unbearable and I had this depression that would not quit and I felt I as an alien around people and maybe I should do therapy and HOLY FUCK I'm autistic and that's why EVERYTHING was so hard. The knowledge you may gain doing a diary is unvaluable. Do it the way you feel comfortable (or less painful) to do - physical notebook, computer, tablet, whatever.

In short: keep on moving, be curious, be self-reflective.

That's all what I have for now, good luck!

After seeing a comedian doing crowd work and talking to a guy that used AI to figure what was an optimal setting for his seat on his car so he could be comfortable I'm afraid we're already there.

I don't know but I finally went all in this year and boy am I happy. Bazzite is rock solid and runs all I need without issues.

On one hand the sex offender would know all the tactics he'll use to rape you. On the other hand, would he share all the tactics he would use? Or would he share just enough for you to believe him?

It's Apple Watch, but for your table! And they sell a wall mounted version that does not comes with a wall mount, for the same price of the table version. Courage!

I see your point, but I'm not thinking just about the end but the middle: the things that happens in between for the product to arrive at the hands of the user. A cartel has massive power doing drug deals, and uses violence to assert its control over the market. The same happened in the prohibition era with alcohol. Wouldn't the same happen with gun prohibition?

The only way for it to never bother you is to pay someone to do your laundry. Other than that it's a chore that will always be there no matter what. You can also have a deal with your partner, make her/him do the laundry and you take care or something else.

I know it's a joke but this triggered something primal inside me that I cannot quite understand yet, and it's not a fart.

Yeah, they tried that before with a book called The Bible. We all know how well that went.
