I can't tell from this summary if the article is sane or bat shit, but usually the bot is good

Edit: the article is good, the summary is bad

Did you try su -l?

Depends on the plastic, but if you're using an extension cord or power strip that smells like burning plastic, that's also a fire hazard. I know I wouldn't be continuing to use it

Both. Everyone is afraid of AI taking over but it's just a tool. Human augmentation is way more likely to lead there. But in the mean time, Stephen Hawking lived quite a while only being able to speak with augmentations. Just like any other technology, it will be at the very least researched in fear that someone else will first. So might as well embrace it

Ignoring, thank you!

Ubuntu. Package organization is annoying, versions are out of date, managing multiple versions isn't consistent, and distro upgrades always have unintended consequences. Often ones that aren't easy to figure out. Their reputation for being beginner friendly should have died around a decade ago.

Yes that's how statistics work. If the statistics say 77% of people won't die if they walk more than 4000 steps, but you see someone who walked 4000 steps who died, that means the study is fake. (Made up numbers to illustrate why anecdotes are useless unless claims are for 100%)

Second on kobo, sure the OS is proprietary, but it's good enough that I forget. And as the previous comment said, you can install third party reader software. I like koreader, it pretty much replaces the entire UI of the device

Maybe it's just how things turned out for me, but when I was younger my brain and body were stronger but things were situationally pretty bad until I got to college. Now that I'm around 30, situationally my life couldn't be better, but exercising doesn't feel good any more so it's a chore, the world is on fire just like I was warned it would be as a child, I don't have the drive to learn any more, and it feels so unfair that I don't get to experience the life I have the way I imagined because getting here took too much out of me. But hey, at least it's not bad. Maybe there's hope I "get better".

I think healthy aging is beautiful, but I don't think most people age healthy. If my wrinkles are based on the first 25 years of my life, they're going to show frustration and exhaustion. I hope your winkles do show you've lived a life of joy though. Keep up with exercise and healthy eating, that's more than half the battle
