Jesus just installed Linux just fine (the second time AI told me the iso with the wrong drivers - probably was using flash lite holy shit) then AI tells me the wrong thing same problem like 10 times when I was trying to get my mouse set up on my windows main PC sharing on LAN with my new Linux machine. That mouse setup took 3 hours.

Finally got it but I still have to click a check box every time. Some GNOME security issue people hate or something. It's actually called GNOME the default OS cosmic whatever didn't work with the mouse LAN set up. Jesus these are all real names too. If everything I do on Linux is this ridiculous I'll probably have a lot of fun breaking my computers. Can't imagine all the dog shit on my pc now after running all those AI bash scripts. I'll have to use AI to make another script to fix all that. Or ideally it's fine I'm just trippin.

Had to dump windows on that 970 rig the end of support was killer. Literally killed it. Well it was more like a slow progression of cancer. The type where their mind goes and they start falling for obvious scam calls and emails. Very tough! I didn't use it for anything too important so it was fast to backup all my files. Most of them were already backed up. Hopefully that unpowered SSD hasn't goofed itself after a few years. I'm sure it's fine, I'll get to it eventually.

Gives me a good idea a SSD rechargeable case that automatically power cycles them on schedule. Also could charge your phone, and has a flight light. Even a solar panel and a bottle opener. I'm sure you could fit a screen on their too. At this point just make it a whole cyber deck.

I saw someone use AI to migrate all their passwords. I'm sure that couldn't possibly backfire. I guess you could automatically change them all after. I don't think password managers do that though. There's probably something that does that, like AI. If you use AI you create the same problem again by fixing it hahaha.

Well I'm sure some people prefer that over creating new problems. If the solution is the problem that's not the solution. If the solution creates new problems that's a business. Scale that up you get the economy ending in modern forms of government. So I posit a new question: what problems are worth creating?

I'm sure you can think of endless problems you'd rather not create for yourself. I'm just saying it's important to scale that up to think about bigger issues. Worry about yourself first, but if you're reading this you should be getting to a point where it's time to start contributing meaningfully.

Another option you can go live in the woods! In my case I would appreciate a van down by the river. Albeit resigning myself to that fate without first putting in the tiniest modicum of effort needed to contribute to human progress is admitting defeat.
