Interesting. So Gus has a falling out with his father, and rejects his army "heritage" and goes fully into the world of software/hardware.

Gretchen likely then works as a librarian or as a public service educator, and has to make ends meet by supplanting her income online.

Spinelli doesn't strike me as a coffee aficionado, but she is highly strung and so probably would thrive in a hands-on demanding environment like a coffee house.

Mikey, as a youtuber who consumes lots of food. Yes, I could probably see that. I hoped more that he would be literally on stage performing theater, but I suppose youtube is a stage of sorts where you find your ideal audience, and so food and performance seems like a good fit.

TJ as a mechanic. I guess so, though it feels like a waste of his inspirational, organizational, and creativity skills, though the same could be said for many kids with failed dreams.

Vincent in middle management. Perhaps his passion for sports did not translate well into adulthood and he had to find himself a normal job.

How long do software updates take then, if you're updating the entire software stack? I can imagine the answer being anywhere from "hours" to "same as the incremental software updates on other distros"

Same. I started off on Gentoo, jumped to Puppy, jumped to Slack, jumped to Fedora, jumped to Arch, jumped to Nix, jumped to Guix, jumped back to Arch, and now I'm thinking Debian is the only true stable upstream linux needs.

Plus I'm sick of tweaking my configs for the N'th time to work on the M'th system. To quote a random side-character in American Dad: "I have painted my children for the last time."

(I will at some point start playing with BSD's though, I just know it. And Haiku too once they have decent laptop support.)

which part is the (false) antecedent, and which part is the statement?

as a brit raised on US apocalyptic films, it was genuinely jarring to see what looked like my home town undergoing a nuclear war in a realistic fashion.

Normally I watch these films and think "oh those poor people", but this was the first I thought something else.

exactly, though some small degree of tribalism is wanted (e.g. a community of tech-heads, or a community of hippies, or a community of furries, etc.)

I originally did, but on further reading I found that dunbar's number isn't strictly proven, though it does feel about right.

Also, you would get super tiny towns and the community wouldn't be diverse enough to support multiple interest groups. For example, assuming a small niche knitting community in a village of 150 would have maybe 3 members who would already know everything about each other, whereas in a town of 5000, there'd be a higher chance of getting at least a mixed bag of people who only know each other through the knitting group.

Be envious of God’s attention by doing good acts.

To be fair, the Greek pantheon would definitely punish mortals for upstaging them, so at least this God got some of his priorities in order
