Let me save you the trip. I have an old trash spec hp all in one that’s had the bag beat out of it, what is the best lightweight Linux distro to make this a usable web browsing and PDF file viewer? (To be used in my garage to look at FSM, wiring diagrams, play music, Google crap etc nothing demanding). I’ve tried mint and it works ok but thinking lighter weight ?

Yea I didn’t articulate my point well in my first comment. I was drunk when I wrote it LOL. I’m just saying I predict AI will be our next industrial revolution, just as many jobs had been lost to automation, now we will loose many more to AI. At least that’s my theory! Part of me hopes it doesn’t happen so people don’t get out out of jobs the way they did with automation, part of me hopes we embrace it and maybe people won’t have to work as much. But we all know the latter won’t happen, too much greed :c

I think a lot of office drones aren’t understanding what I’m saying here, or are not liking it. If what your doing at work is for example data entry or document management or some of the sort, your job can easily be replaced by AI or offshore workers. If you need to be somewhere to do something, for example plumbing, or human to human interaction than AI and offshore can’t replace you. Think about all the work from home people that get the mouse simulators so they can look like their working all day. You really think they can’t be replaced in an instant by AI? Can you explain to me what jobs can be worked exclusively from home, with no need to ever physically show up, that cant be replaced by AI ? I’ll wait, but I won’t hold my breath.

I see your point, and at the risk of coming off as a dick I will say I think that our next industrial revolution will be when AI replaced a large portion of work force. If you can work entirely from home, odds are what ur doing can be replaced by AI or offshore workers both at a fraction of what your being paid

Do you game? Cuz that alone is a solid reason to use windows. I know Linux is getting usable for it, but let’s be honest there is no more convenient OS when it comes to gaming and daily use than windows and you can’t tell me otherwise. I have tried to switch to Ubuntu or mint many times but it’s just not idiot proof enough for ur average how yet and I constantly found myself trying to troubleshoot issues I never ran into with windows. Yea I know Microsoft is the devil and all that, but they still provide the easiest to use OS out there!

I think it’s about time for an organized mass murder of all healthcare ceos… Maybe then they’ll learn? Or do we need to go after the shareholders too? What will it take? How can we make them quiver in their boots half as much as they fucked us out of paychecks only to tell us to get bent when we request the care we’ve paid for?

I used to live in ri, paid 420 a month for a half decent dental and health plan from BCBS. I moved to Vermont, went to look up insurance cost and since I make a godly 53k a year BEFORE taxes, I don’t qualify for any assistance. A catastrophic plan here is 450 a month. A mid silver plan is 1k a month. I literally cannot afford to have health insurance anymore, and so I have been priced out. Now that I don’t have coverage I just hope I never get sick or hurt again. I broke my arm bad and it was 30k between surgery and ambulance and emergency room (in ri and my health insurance covered it), if something like that happened now id just have to bury myself in debt. If I’m not mistaken medical debt is one of the leading causes of bankruptcy in the USA.

Good, we should not continue to subsidize profits for private companies. Nobody that is actually in a place that NEEDS help buying a car will ever be in the market for a NEW car nevermind an EV, all these tax credits do is help well to do people justify buying a new car. If EVs can’t sell without the big credit, their not ready for the market anyways.
