Yeah, GNOME was my previous preference, but I don't see myself going back now

Learning the hotkeys in Omarchy is a bit of a process, but there is a hotkey to show the hotkeys lol (super + K) - and once you get used to them, its super productive, at least to me.

Out of all the commentators here actually running Linux Desktop, I wonder how many have used Omarchy? To me its the best Linux desktop experience I've had without having to overly waste my time configuring things.

He said he still reviews code, just for some tools he's vibe coding for himself he didn't look at the source.

I don't find it to be too bloated, and the things I don't like I simply uninstall.

So far its the best Linux Desktop experience I've had, and I hardly have to configure anything out of the box, most of it just works.

Legislate transparent pricing for all medications and procedures first.

Paying 40 dollars for lozenges in the ER is insane.

Right now the system has an opaque pricing structure which makes no sense.

Force hospitals to expose API's with transparent pricing.

I feel like you can make the same analogy with products as well.

Implying that AI is the last jewel of the USA is too simplistic and ignorant.

People are paying for tokens, that will likely continue even if open weight wins.

Fundamentals dictate hardware is a depreciating asset, they're not wrong. They're just ignoring the reality of the current market.
