I always find it hilarious that Ukraine has sunk so many ships/submarines given they have no ships of their own.

Get at least 8 hours sleep. Note that this means “sleep” and not “8 hours in bed” so if you read or do other activities in bed, add extra time for that stuff. I usually give extra time for my brain to stop running a mile a minute

Go to bed at the same time every night. Wake up at the same time every morning. Avoid caffeine. Caffeine can cause sleep disruptions you may not notice, even if consumed early in the day.

Get tested for sleep apnea.

If I had to watch ads, I would not use youtube. Period.

I saw a popup once, refreshed and it was gone. 🤣

Does anyone know if KDE Neon testing is updated with this?

It’s called “being human”. You should try it.

This could be another indicator that we are going into recession. I did not read the article (because who does that? 🤣) but when you look at rising credit card debt combined with the mass layoffs, it usually means folks are on their last legs, financially speaking.

That is assuming there actually is a problem with higher credit card debt and the topic is ‘t being sensationalized, of course.

Another indicator to watch out for is falling revenue in earnings reports. Falling revenue, particularly in retail and consumer goods spaces means recession is inbound.

I firmly believe that, absent some additional support, we will enter a recession within 2 years.

Note: I don’t claim to be an economist, but I am old and I have lived through a few of these downturns.

Incorrect. The tech sector had had a record number of layoffs (https://layoffs.fyi/) and hasn’t had any time to recover. In addition, a US law, section 174, took effect this year and changes taxes for software engineers and certain other tech workers.

I personally have never had issues finding work, but I have been unemployed for over 6 months. This is despite the fact I have been in the industry for over 2 decades, despite having tons of qualifications and even former employers recommending me.

My guy, I grew up on a chicken farm. This does not scare me.
