My friends, I have been a prolific blog poster in my many years with various blogging platforms. I have been known to post 5 or more times a day. Being a prolific reader is another story. Blogging community I have been severely lapsed in reading your posts and that doesn’t seem fair considering you read and comment on mine.
I am hoping to change that and spend more time seeing what is happening in your world and in your head through your work. I ask for your forgiveness. I will work to do better. Thank you for your connections and communications. You all rock.
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.
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.
