Good timing. The straw the broke the camel’s back before switching to Linux two months ago was watching my PC reboot after “update and shutdown” and saying “I shouldn’t have to deal with this!”
Sometimes I think about all of the lies I was told as a kid like “on one side people want to pay less taxes, and on the other people are willing to pay more to help others” when really it’s “cut programs that help people, pay more taxes unless you’re so rich it doesn’t matter, and actively commit as many evils as you can think of, or alternatively don’t do all that.” Like, there’s supposed to be a silver lining no matter which side wins. But no, all bad all the way down and the benefits that motivated the boomers in my life to cause this terror aren’t even happening. Weren’t groceries supposed to get cheaper or something to help the facism go down?
Conceptually that sounds good as hell. The biggest problem with filled donuts is the uneven distribution.
