playing Skyrim and Cyberpunk in my rocker on the front porch.

Been setting up and running Redhat, then RHEL servers since the '90s.

I pretty much stayed away from Linux desktops until the last 10 years as I liked the Mac gui.

Fedora is my primary desktop gui setup, with a Nobara linux game system for the wife.

Keep meaning to check out Rocky linux but not really into spinning cycles just to futz with stuff.

Younger they are, easier to indoctorate.

"It's a bold move, Cotton."

Back when I did small company tech support in the '90s, had a customer (design/print shop) who knew their shit; not technologically illiterate by any means and stuff would just break around them. And it totally pissed them off when I would show up, touch a few boxes, restart a system they'd just restarted and- everything would work correctly. Printers that had been powering up into error states would just start up fine.

Years later, ran across the lady and she was now running a dog sanctuary. She let her husband touch the tech.

Some people have the touch of death for technology and that's a good thing; will be invaluable when the robot uprising occurs.

I've only had 1 windows PC I built for playing Cyberpunk 2077, 5 years ago.

Tried to upgrade to Win11 2 years ago and *BZZZZ!*, not gonna happen.

So switched to Nobara Linux.

Now running 3 Linux machines at home, 1 Mac iTunes server and getting ready to ditch my Macs at work, when they are no longer update-worthy.

"Uh, Windows is hard, it's overly complicated to both use and admin."

Stopped using modern Adobe when they went to subscription service.

PS 2.5 and IL 5.5 on my Quadra 650 with it's Agfa tabloid scanner does everything I really need.

Update: I have a Capresso Infinity Plus grinder.

It says it has safety grind-stop if the grind fineness setting is turned away from a specific number. Looks like there is at least one sensor to go wrong on this thing, unless it's a mechanical interlock setup, which would be fine.

Hopefully this is a grinder that can survive an EMP pulse.

Maybe I should be looking for one of those wall mounted ones with a big cast iron wheel like they had at super markets when I was a kid.

Eh, "slop" isn't strong enough.

Call it what it is: AI Spooge.
