Hey one quick question.. the Ansible playbook doesn't look like it's been updated to 0.18.2 or at least the instructions don't state how to pull it. Any chance this could get fixed/clarified in the release notes?

Yep, already deleted my 14yo Reddit acct and made the switch. Really glad I did :)

Windows 11 for my Surface & Gaming PC. Probably gonna try out SurfaceLinux soon though since the Surface Pro 7 is starting to show its age.

But I have a Dell XPS 13 that's running Ubuntu Jammy now though. I alternate thru all 3 depending on the day.

Yeah back before most plans did "unlimited" data, many of the deals were for unlimited texts. I remember texts costing about that much at first then we moved my family to an unlimited texting plan and never thought much about it again

It's very common here in the states actually. Not really by choice though. Around the time many messaging apps were taking off iMessage kinda established itself as "the" way to do stuff like group chats. I hear in the rest of the world apps like Whatsapp are way more common but they're more of a niche thing here overall

I wish I knew the answer but I understand how you feel. I just turned 30, changed jobs last year, am working on a master's & have a kid on the way. I wouldn't give any of those things up but damn I need a break sometimes.

I try to take me time whenever I can. Also something my therapist mentioned that resonates fairly well with what another poster said, take control of at least part of your life.

For me, even though it's tough, I find that mowing the yard, power washing, assembling something, etc helps me - since I'm choosing to do that thing on my own and not being forced to do it like dishes or work, etc. Bonus points for productivity I guess but really it's all about regaining that sliver of control and building on it. That "thing" could be playing a sport or watching an episode of TV or brushing your teeth or something but the key is that you do it because you want to, not because it's on your to do list.

I hope you figure it out and I'm with ya in spirit!
