I keep reading theses kinds of assessments and no one seems to acknowledge that opening a book and reading it is actually kinda hard. Reading long form is incredibly high effort.

 

This is a "crônica", a uniquely Brazilian format that emerged in Brazilian newspapers in the 19th century. The crônica is very short. It is characterized by a mix of fact, subjectivity, and often fiction that is supposed to reflect or say something about reality (this one has no fiction). Oddly enough, I wrote this crônica directly in English. It was an interesting experience to write something so profoundly Brazilian in English.

Crônicas are often slice-of-life.

Sure. But company policy and failure to regulate employees are different things. They are both bad but they are not the same.

Although it seems likely that Crunchyroll uses an LLM for translation in some way, I wouldn't call that "confirmed" since that might be the result of an individual translator using it.

Is that the best you can do? Put some effort into it.

I did find my wife in there. Our son is almost 2.

Yeah... I used to date plus size women exclusively. Now I am married to one. I had to go throught lots of skinny women to find what I wanted.

If there was an Emacs group on this website I would certainly post there instead. In any case, Emacs is a well-known FOSS project, and Org-Roam is very popular among Emacs user.

Org-roam is "a plain-text personal knowledge management system" for Emacs inspired by Roam Research.

 

These are some thoughts I had after meditating.

I use Linux currently and have for many years. It is a wonderful operating system. However, if you wish to switch to Linux, it is in your best interest to understand that enthusiasts will oversell whatever they love, and they will do so without even noticing it.

Gaming on Linux is impressive and it's getting better every day, but it is still not the same as Windows.

Depending on the games you wish to play, you may feel frustrated at times. Also, barely any peripherals have official Linux support on a software level. I'm talking about fancy keyboards, mice, gamepads, cameras, microphones, headphones, and all kinds of RGB contraptions.

If something doesn't work, the next recommended steps can range from installing a complicated third-party interface to essentially programming your own. If I read the word "kernel" as part of a solution, chances are that I'm just buying something else instead.

People also forget that even supported games sometimes malfunction, and all tips and fixes will assume you're running Windows. Besides, not every game is on Steam, and even when they are, some may require the use of external software to install and manage mods. So using Linux for games is awesome, but significantly less so if you are not an advanced user and want more than the defaults for your games.

When it comes to work, you might find yourself restricted to LibreOffice or Microsoft Office Online. It is possible to run Office via Wine, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea (more on that here). A bit off-topic, but I've been trying to purchase a legit license for local Microsoft Office and I don't think they even sell it anymore. They're completely focused on the cloud version.
