    Operating Systems You Use
    What operating systems do you all run on your devices right now? Whether it’s macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, or something more niche, I’d love to hear about your choices. Do you prefer sticking to a single OS across all your gadgets, or do you mix and match depending on the type of device?

    Customization and Setups
    How do you have your systems configured? If you’re using Linux, which distributions are you running and what motivated that choice? For Windows or macOS users, do you keep things close to the default setup, or have you customized the look, feel, and workflow to make it your own? On the mobile side, do you lean toward Android for the flexibility or iOS for the seamless ecosystem?

    Hardware and Reasons
    I’m also curious about the hardware you’re using and why you decided on your current setup. What devices are your operating systems running on, and what made you choose that combination of hardware and software as the best fit for you?

    I'm using a Chinese laptop, with windows, and AMD hardware, on the assumption it makes it easier for everyone to fuck with my computer.

    Google was fighting in public over who got to bug my computer first, along with about 2 billion other people, and I found its best to make it easier for them. My work is related to cutting edge fuzzy logic and quantum mechanics, that you just can't buy with money, and is actually written using simple Comedy Club statistics, yin-yang push-pull dynamics, and paradoxical Monty Carlo statistics.

    Since the 1980s, the feds have been busting hippies and confiscating their land, then bugging our computers for fuzzy logic. So, I decided to give them way more than they ever bargained for.

    My books are worth a Nobel Prize and, possibly, 20 million dollars or more, making them impossible to censor, without garnering a great deal of attention, and is actually written for any ordinary AI to read in five minutes flat. The Three Stooges have nothing to offer anyone, so i decided their own AI can keep them busy.
