It really is amazing how I can mess up Linux installs for the weirdest of reasons.

Install arch from scratch on a laptop? Now it either doesn’t go to sleep when you close the laptop or a kernel panick.

Manjaro? Edited the config for the touchpad (of course it’s a random config file that you have to change line by line and read 3 wiki pages for, because Linux) because it doesn’t feel like windows and ran updates from the built in manager within the os. Now it doesn’t boot at all and causes the boot logo to ghost while using windows 10 installed on another partition.

Pop_os? Worked mostly fine, used it for months, broke it only once when using the built in package manager somehow fixed it, but stopped using that laptop and now I can’t boot into it at all.

Not to mention all of the software that partially doesn’t work or work at all. Like, my personal choice for image editing is paint.net, it’s not a useless meme like MS Paint, but also isn’t the equivalent of using a bucket wheel excavator for digging a hole in your backyard like Gimp. It also doesn’t work on Linux at all

Sudoku is my go-to for boring time on the airplane

And not everyone who speaks it as their 2nd or 3rd language makes that mistake

Also, I’d say that odds also favour places that nobody really gives a shit about, like sure, US, UK, China, Russia, large parts of Europe, and North Korea are probably guaranteed to be nuclear craters, but I doubt that any of the missiles are pointed at Africa or most of South America

Because as long as the Russian state exists and can point to their “history” as an empire and use it as an excuse to take over their neighboring countries (like Latvia, the place where I’m from), I won’t be satisfied.

Unfortunately nobody is bombing Moscow yet, so anything that isolates and makes the population more angry and can hopefully topple the government is a good thing in my book

Meanwhile me with a 1500 YouTube music video playlist of liked music and a pile of CDs that I bought used, featuring the artists in that playlist

Say that under any thread about any billionaire and watch your comment get double digit downvotes

Gamersnexus?

Nah, I’m pretty sure that it was more recent, like 2023 or 2022

I’ll just turn it into my web browser

To play the devil’s advocate, they could be putting that random junk there to see if they can find out other categories of things that you like.

Isn’t just taking a plane to the door a solution too?

I have that and the infinity symbol on Firefox right now on my phone

I mean, there are things that you are just more interested in than others.

Tinkering with electronics and coding some kind of “complicated” method of cheating for some people would be way easier than studying, especially if the cheating is through something that already is your hobby.

I can work on my motorcycle and fix various things for hours and not mind a thing, but if you ask me to study a chapter from my production management textbook, I’m going to complain all the way

For me it would just be: “O Two O, Five Eighteen”, I have had to remember and enter way too many Microsoft email codes

Meanwhile me with only Money and Another Brick in the Wall as the only Pink Floyd tracks in the whole digital library

Yep, that is absolutely something that I would do

I think that I heard about a similar thing happening in Greece

Also, the school subject is kinda supposed to give you general knowledge of most of the general history, and they have X years to do it. Back in school we even had 2 different history subjects in our schedules, where one focused on the history of the world and one was for national history of the country.

While researching history on your own, you are the one who decides how shallow or deep you want to look into something, so it naturally just aligns with stuff that you find interesting.

I’m actually kinda impressed
