2yI've decided to nuke my 5 year old #archlinux install last week in favor of a shiny new #nixos one as my daily driver. I still have so many things I wanna install and customize, but I'm really enjoying being able to just play around with it without the fear of bricking anything.

2yMy Pixel 6 is having a fun new bug where it sometimes disconnects from my wifi and stays disconnected. But when I open the wifi settings, it immediately reconnects and starts working again.

2yFacing a fun new bug in #windows, where you cannot open the file explorer for like 20 minutes, but then when you lease expect it, blasts you in the face with a million explorer windows, because it buffered all inputs trying to open it of course.

2yJust got fined by a policeman because of 'going too slow' and 'causing a traffic jam' on a one-lane winding road through the mountains in the middle of nowhere.
