gentoo, while i never done it myself, i believe is compiling every single piece from source, or at least just compiling the kernel from source, and arch is an inbetween i think, not as click yes as other distros, but i belive its installer is unpacking tarballs under the hood or something? idk i never used arch either

and ive myself never installed windows, but i imagine its mostly clicking yes, is that true? when someone installing linux gets to a screen that says , configure the lvm, configure luks, auto partion on one partition, separate /home and /var partitions, i could see them getting a little overwhelmed, ive myself confused the heck out of myself trying to manually set up partitions cause i wanted a /storage partition on the root

anyways its a real jerry rigged system i have for watching shows at my friends hosue, the server is sitting in my livingroom at home, so i use tailscale to tunnle to it
but my friend dosnt have internet so i set up a minicomputer with a data sim to broadcast a hotspot for her
but the mobile lte dongle isnt as good as my phones wifi even though they are on the same network, and the jelly fin app skips and buffers hard on the lte dongle, but not my phones
so i set my phone to have the same SSID and password as her hotspot, so when i come over the chrome cast grabs my wifi
now jellyfin has a cast button, but it dosnt see the chrome cast, just other computers and browsers with jellyfin open
so i have to use vlc to stream the jellyfin url
and vlc can cast to the chrome cast
voila that was way to complicated but yay for shows

I can say there is never too many parks though, I'd like to see even more and we have a bunch, I never really used them from like 20-34, before I was 20 it was where we would drink and smoke pot, and I picked up metal detecting at 34 and go to a park or a school or other grassy area multiple times a week now

As for laptops, I'm still running a really old think pad running debian, I think it has 4gb ram and a i5, I dunno, I don't do anything that requires more power, if I did then I would update

Comment on Billions of AI users…? in ~tech

Ive never once used facebooks AI even though they have it on all the posts, and I've seen overviews searching stuff before but if I could turn it off I would
I switched my pixels AI from Gemini or w.e. it's called back to assistant, assistant is so much better, the main reason I use assistant is because when I'm coin roll hunting I can say "1973 Canadian dime" and the first thing it gives me is the link for coins and Canada website which I'm looking for, on Gemini it gives me a blurb I don't need and no option to see links
Plus I like assistants blurbs better than getting geninis blurbs when you ask it a question, I think assistant scrapes it from websites instead of making it up like gemini
The day they get rid of assistant and force gemeni on me is the day I may look into running graphene OS on my pixel out of protest, I'll just Install Google services on it so I can use play store apps, so I won't be going totally free software
I use chat gpt and pi ai every day, but I would like for not everything to be ai, that just makes stuff so annoying for me

I use AI as a therapist, I tell it I feel unmotivated and adhedronic and it tells me to do small steps like take my recycling out, and change our of my pajamas, and take back the means of production
Because of AI I am dressed in my metal detecting clothes and I all of a sudden feel like wanting to go out instead of my pajamas scrolling shroomery, I'm a little late compared to the schedule, but at least I will go out when I finish my water

i started noticing some hairloss at 26 or 28 or something, 2019 i think, at like 30 if that year is correct, i started taking finasteride and it halted and MAYBE THE TINIEST BIT reversed my hairloss
idk about sideffects cause around that time i started taking anti psychotics as well
i dont even care about my hair now at 37 really, maybe i should stop taking the fin, my hair is buzzed shorter then a millimeter right now, although i do like that i have shadow all over and not a bald spot in the middle, but i dont even grow my hair out any more like i did when i started taking the fin
