Living next to a few short-term rentals, it is so extremely creepy to have various large groups of people in and out, staring at you and your stuff, blocking the street with Ubers and scooters, and you only think it's quiet because you're the house making all the noise.
It sucks to make a neighborhood a nice place to live only to have all that leeched for profit selling to bachelorette parties full of girls going WOOO at 1 AM.

What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?
Home cooking. It is super easy and about 100x healthier. Don't know how? Get the America's Test Kitchen Best Skillet Recipes book. Lots of super easy things in there. Once you get in the habit you really only have to do it 3-4 times a week, and there are lots of frozen meals.

If those movies were just a narrative of Kylo Ren's fever dream and when he wakes up he's actually a slave in the spice mines of Kessel and we got a remake of Spartacus in space, I'd be OK with that.

Can someone get through college on GNU Linux?
Yeah you usually can. LibreOffice works fine for most things. Some classes need things like Solid works that only run on Windows, and the remote testing software can be a nightmare. You might get an O365 license as part of your enrollment but doubt you really need it.
Protip; learn how to typeset your papers in something like LyX and integrate Zotero for citation management. The typesetting usually got me a few extra points alone.

Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model

Yep there is nothing stopping new web sites coming online. It's just hard to find them. Guess what was also hard in the early Internet days? Finding them. Web rings may make a big comeback.

massive salmon
When spawning, salmon exhaust themselves to death. That's kinda what this looks like, a really tired salmon was floating there and summoned a burst of energy. They don't taste good at this time.

There is also a complete lack of segregation of duties with these things. The companies that install, configure, and maintain also get a cut of the income. This is really bad.

TNG started in 87. Not at all inconceivable that it was sitting in a closet somewhere.
