And how many people are only playing console instead of pc because there are physical games for consoles still? I'm sure it has to be a good percentage.

We're heading straight towards a cyberpunk future.

And not even a shiny, pretty, exciting one, ours is still half boring for some reason. I can't even pin down what's missing. It still feels like ours has wood paneling or something, but even that would be too '70s, which would still be a little cool. Maybe ours is too '90s? Our cyberpunk somehow still feels too analogue and not enough.

No, that's like dad straight up saying "I know you need new clothes for winter, but I don't like you and I do like drinking, so I'm going to spend our money at the bar instead."

Saying we don't have the money to feed the poor is at least having some shame about it.

Sounds like they're in denial.

Man I've seen it used in doctors offices. I think it's picking up a lot.

Mmkay thank you, this is such a great thing to ask.

No. Just no.

This is not an "individual action will solve this" case anymore. WE can't do jack about it, individually. If we get the corporations to stop doing harm, and the rich cut down traveling in their superjets, maybe then. But some schmuck driving a Toyota corolla a few hundred miles on a vacation, or taking a commercial passenger jet on a vacation with 100-some-odd people isn't the problem here.

Check out "Linux survival" if you're old school, LabEx if you like experiential learning more, and less explanation. Both offer exercises, both are free, but Labex has a few restrictions for free accounts, and offers a paid tier at like 9 bucks a month. And ofc you don't have to use the terminal irl, it's just easier after getting used to it. Most things have a GUI program equivalent, you just have to seek it out. Most of the time.

Edit: And also, Linux Mint and a few others are often recommended to new users for being both similarish to windows and approachable with GUI.
