If you make these kinds of choices based on "what someone says", you're doing it wrong. No one is suggesting that.

I am (slowly) moving from Debian to Devuan for all the obvious and well-documented problems with systemd. No need to recite that stuff in detail.

Observing that Ubuntu is going all-in on autoslop, and being able to connect the dots and project into the future, moving from Ubuntu to literally anything else (that isn't on the same problematic path) is also pretty darn obvious.

But throwing up a nihilist hypothetical strawman to try to convince others it's not worth trying to fix problems? That is GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE territory. Plonk.

Of course, I'm tempted.
Giving up might set me free,
free of all my dreams.

But I choose to keep going.
I choose my true self, always.

A quotation from Satchel Paige

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.

Satchel Paige (1906-1982) American baseball player [Leroy Robert Paige]
Quoted in “Hal Boyle Says –” syndicated AP column, New York Post (1959-10-04)

Went to buy a coffee. Someone's spilt a cup of coffee while trying to go through a door that staff and public use. We're kinda big on health and safety, being a hospital and all. Nearby is the SAFETY offfice. I wandered in to report the spill. Lady told me to ring the helpdesk. One job. One.
I try. I really do.

@Vivaldi
Stumbled upon it one day in #Ubuntu's app store's “New and Updated” section. 'Twas actually the #Flatpak version, which doesn't really have the best #images and #description, as it's #unofficial, so I wasn't drawn to it at first, but just kept in my #mind. A few days later, #BraveBrowser started having a lot of #issues (it was my bad, actually, but anyway) and I switched to #MicrosoftEdge for a while. A little time after, I found out about some ugly things M$ does through its #browser, and looked for an #alternative. #Browsers like #Brave were already too #basic for me, after using #Edge, and thus, when I saw #Vivaldi as a powerful alternative, I didn't hesitate a moment and tried it.

That's the most #important part of the story, but… there's a second #volume: At first, I was like a #crazy #chicken in front of a pot full of #earthworms, so… I obviously broke the browser in just one, two days. In the meanwhile, I also managed to repair Brave, and I was thinking of leaving V, considering it too #buggy. But luckily, I decided to give it one more chance, this time being more #cautious about #messing up with #settings… and here I am!

You might call me a very #wise person, since I didn't #giveUp immediately, but the #truth is… I was simply #mesmerized by it… :tony_happy:

A quotation from Molly Ivins

Whatever you do, don’t give up. Because all you can do once you’ve given up is bitch.

Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Essay (1973-01), “Pitfalls of Reporting in the Lone Star State,” Houston Journalism Review

It's one of two things: either Biden, his team and his family quickly accept that he's handing over the reins and giving the Democratic world a chance to beat Trump, or he's stubborn and will be seen as the one who has contributed heavily to setting the United States back. History will judge him harshly if he doesn't make the most logical decision.

Tomorrow, I head to #Pittsburgh to check two #BucketList bands off the list. I'll be seeing #ThePostalService and #DeathCabForCutie.

Better yet, I'll be getting to share it with Oldest Spawn.

I have to get to the city without a panic attack. If I can do that, all should be well.

I'll also be getting my first #PrimantiBros sandwich, which my sister says is a must-have.

A quotation from Churchill, Winston:

«
Never give in, never give in, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

#GoverningAI US vs UK #GunControl lessons

That feeling when it's 7am, the rain is pouring & the traffic is so bad you barely moved in the last half hour. Sorry destination, you're not worth it. This morning I just #giveUp.

"The amount of work your work and life wants of you will always and forever exceed the amount you can do.
You cannot fight this.
It is also a gift.
Once you accept (or re-accept) that there is too much, it becomes easier to turn some things away. You may still feel grief or loss at the things you cannot do. You may feel guilt, especially if an institution or person benefits from you feeling that way. But accepting that you must leave some things undone shifts the problem from one of being not enough to one of being in a position to make choices. And even when those choices are coupled to difficult or prickly constraints, they are still choices."
