The irony here is that it's not nearly enough, things are far too gone. They don't seem to be even beginning to grasp the true scale of the almighty mess they are currently in.
And so #inflation begins, but instead #shrinkflation https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2021/.. I've noticed this also over the years, but apparently this is happening *even more* in recent times. Smaller #packages have smaller #mass , #cheaper #manufacturing and slightly less #shipping costs.

Currently still working to fix it, it's very difficult to figure out exactly what is broken and to downgrade the relevant programs. Currently I have a half Pop!OS and half Ubuntu system... But at least it boots now unlike earlier! Anyway, wish me luck in fixing this crap.Going to try to update the computer... I'm mega pissed off with #ubuntu these days. #snap is shit. #unity is shit. Half of it is broken. Random crashes, lack of stability, side loading crapware like #amazon search and what not. What a shit show it has now become.
