Thank you all so much for your help, here is my output of systemd:

It must be something weird with my initial boot. I am dual booting, but on separate hard drives. My PC does have 6 hard drives in it however. Or, maybe something is messed up in my install?

This is so cool. I don’t know how yall know all this stuff but thanks for sharing ! My startup is 1 min 21 seconds. I know it should be more like 20 seconds

Another reason corps lobbied for digital and killed off analog as much as they could: easier to control and charge money. Once I own a tape/reel/record, I OWN it, you cannot take it from me without physically taking it. Stop using online digital media for stuff you actually care about.

I am pretty sure this is anyone, not really ADHD specific. More like a “makes me feel good to buy something” specific. Which is many many people.

Checks and balances, and money… people won’t buy your product if it’s malware…unless you make them a captive audience (win11, tencent).

We have off grid days on the weekend. I love it. I’d do it more if work didn’t require it or I didn’t have people who call me for help with things.

I actually enjoy talking with others on here. My worldview has expanded because of it.

Agreed. It’s a car. I have an entertainment system at home and great speakers for listening. Cars suck for actual listening quality anyways.

100% in agreement with all your points. Simplicity and modular! Look how well the original mustang did, because you could actually get what you wanted. That has disappeared completely now

Some of us live in spread out communities or rural areas. You don’t expect all humans to live in a 2x2 ft cube in a 30 story tall building do you? Also, I guarantee not everyone else wants to live right next to other humans. I try to get as far as possible so I can do anything I want (be loud, be outside at any time, have parties etc). There is actually enough livable land on the planet for every single human to have 2 acres worth. Now, should people have children when there is already billions of us, that’s another question.
