Looks awesome! I love witnessing all the progress the System76 team is making. It really makes it seem like anything is possible.

In a similar vein, Evelyn Wang from Everything Everywhere All At Once... She may not start out badass, but oh boy does that change

It gets funnier when you realize Berd made a video about exactly how the Internet responds to typos in arguments:

They are. Which is why these people go for FWB...if they can even get that

I actually think this meme was one of the better ones: as you mentioned in another comment, it's the ones that depict the brief moments where the condition isn't totally debilitating as if we're suddenly superheroes that are concerning.

This one felt like it was merely an observation of a typical ADHD experience. And to be honest, it was well-executed because it didn't lean into an opinion, it left the reader to form one. Those memes are actually the "unsung heroes" of the ADHD community, because anyone who sees it and finds it relatable and then notices what sub it's in might do more research or go get evaluated.

I do, from time to time. But I need to pair it with exercise for it to be effective. Without exercise, my mind wanders too easily. Pairing it with exercise allows me to raise my dopamine enough to make the thoughts concrete and easier to be aware of.

Honestly I'd love to just use the website but they force you to use their client now. Unless there's a way to use the browser again!

You know, I had never noticed this correlation until you brought it up, but it's kind of sad how accurate it is...

It's funny you mention this, because a few days ago I went to my local market to grab milk, and the regular milk was more expensive that the plant-based milk...never thought I'd see this day in the US!

So something I just thought of, and I'm surprised nobody brought up (well, I guess some did indirectly, it just wasn't obvious to me): A major benefit of basing off of Ubuntu is more up-to-date hardware support. While it's true that Debian now supports non-free firmware by default, that doesn't mean that it will be recent.

Debian support for hardware is truly impressive, but it ultimately lags behind because Debian prioritizes stability over new features. This is why routine Debian updates only cover severe bugs and security issues, and from what I can tell that also is the case for hardware support and the kernel.

Ubuntu tries to keep in step with new hardware releases, which makes much more sense for power users like engineers, developers and gamers, all of which seem to be key consumers of System76 hardware. Basing off of Ubuntu makes it easier to satisfy that clientele. I imagine it also makes submitting upstream fixes for hardware-related packages easier.

Interesting two cents! Your line of reasoning is pretty thorough, and I think your educated guesses are fairly sounds! Thanks for contributing! I agree, while switching to Debian as a base would certainly be a lot of work, System76 has definitely gone above and beyond in far more complex ways, particularly with their COSMIC DE effort.

Interesting, I didn't realize that. Thanks for clarifying!
