    The longer the bubble continues to grow and the bigger it is when it pops, the worse the crash/deflation will be, which is why I say I hope it comes “soon”.

    I guess that and so that I can stop having LLMs forced on me.

    Oh, and “deflation means you have less money” is a bit overly simplistic. If you’re living hand-to-mouth and don’t have a lot of debt, deflation can actually be a net good thing because a paycheck in the future can buy more than a paycheck of the same size today.

    I’m in the U.S. if you’re curious.







  • I mean, I’ve been running exclusively rolling release Linux distros (Gentoo and Arch) as my daily driver for the last 20 years and I don’t think I’ve ever had the thought that reinstalling from scratch would be simpler than just… fixing the issue. I’ve never backed up my OS files either. Only data files; the sort of files that aren’t put there by the install process or package manager. I’ve never used BTRFS or anything with snapshotting abilities either.

    I have booted into a live system, chrooted, and fixed something. (Because my kernel or bootloader or something was borked.) But it’s been quite a long time since I’ve had to do that, and I’ve never reinstalled from scratch because I couldn’t fix something.

    (The only times I’ve used non-rolling releases were pretty limited cases. A server here running Debian here, a Raspberry Pi running Raspian (though even Raspberry Pi’s, I’ve mostly used Arch Linux ARM) there. Also my work machine, though I’ve even installed rolling release distros on my work machine on a forgiveness-rather-than-permission basis at times. Lol.)

    My mother has two chihuahuas. Neither one needs an angel chihuahua or devil chihuahua on their shoulders. Each one barks enough for three dogs all on their own.

    (This is no reflection on chihuahuas in general. She once had another chihuahua who would never bark, ever. Until we specifically taught her to bark on command for a treat. And after that, on command was the only time she ever barked.)
