| schestowitz | The correct answers to it have been absolutely nothing in terms of steady employment and lots and lots of time spent in therapy. When you leave a job due to a health scare you don’t immediately rebound from something like that. Considering that my now immediate past employer is rather odious in the minds of many thanks to its current CEO the job prospects are effectively rather dim to non-existent. | Nov 25 06:02 |
| schestowitz | I’ve been keeping up with therapy. That’s meant having to go to the gym to spend time. That’s meant going to see the doctor as required. That’s also meant tuning out the apocalyptic craziness of the news and substituting instead The Archers as well as other programs. I’ve also been starting to look at what needs updating in Xubuntu documentation. I know there is at least one chapter I should be providing a rather significant amount | Nov 25 06:02 |

| schestowitz | As of now, the unofficial Chromium OS build for the Pi is in “test” mode, and it only supports Pi 3/Pi 3B+, and Pi 4. Since it is in “test” mode, some features of the OS are yet to be implemented, bugs are present, and things can crash at random times. Still, if you have a spare Raspberry Pi 3/3B+ or Pi 4 and need a full-featured operating system, Chromium OS is one of the best. | Nov 25 07:08 |
