Technology Is Life And Life Is Technology
Technology is life and life is technology, that makes sense, right? We all depend on it so it seems. It’s personal too and we all use various systems, devices, and software depending on what will make life a little easier.
I have been testing Linux desktop operating system distros lately and I have discovered that the world of open source is in good hands. However, you have to find that information out by experiencing it for yourself. Like anything you have to do research and see what others say and then see if their conclusions meet your expectations.
I have both Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop. On my desktop, it’s Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 10. I currently dual-boot them based on my mood and needs. My daily driver is Ubuntu 22.04 because it allows me to connect with others and manage my digital life. The bonus is that I get updates and upgrades without cost.
Many of my friends run Apple products but that stuff is expensive and they update way too often and keeping up is pricy. I am an Android user without shame. I do see way more damaged Apple devices than Android’s out there so there is something to be said about that.
This Artificial Intelligence stuff is fascinating and scary in equal measure. Have we not learned anything from the movies.
And yes, I am a total nerd.
Something About Healthcare
Growing up and growing older has benefits but also aches and pains. Forget about the physical ailments what I am talking about is insurance, doctors, and other stuff like that. Many Americans have insurance through their workplace and I am grateful for the healthcare afforded me and mine.
When your insurance company denies coverage for various treatments and medications it can be a pain in the butt. Sure, costs are a factor, but not everything should be about money. Healthcare is financial and political.
We all have to deal with the changes and hope they won’t harm us. When you have chronic illness and conditions that require daily care then you have to hope it won’t bankrupt you or worse. My friends we all must take care of ourselves so we can take care of others.
Feeling All The Things
In the past few years, I have not been myself or the person I was in 2018. That was five years ago and much has happened since that time. I got older, lost my dad in 2019 (that took a lot out of me) then COVID happened and of course, the political shit we seem to endure daily. During that time I have been moody and frankly not a lot of fun to be around.
The one thing I can say is that I can only be myself and the person I am at that moment. Pleasing people is a hard habit to break and I still find myself being a slave to that.
I feel as if I am giving off an aura I think that repels some people. I am hoping that gets better as I go along. Being real means being authentic whatever that looks like. People should have the freedom to feel all their emotions and hope that others will be there to help pick up the pieces.
