For fucks sake.... I swear... Linux/open-source advocates are complete dicks.
When you encounter a FUCKING NOOB, don't send them down rabbit holes. Their default distro kernel IS NOT gonna be the main cause of their issue.
Morons like you are what drives people away from Linux and open source software.
The closed source core originally kept me from buying Ledger, this just reaffirms my decision...

The feds screwed us royally 3 times.
1. 1933-34 dollar/gold scam, forcing citizens to sell gold at a loss.
2. ~1970, ending convertibility between USD and gold, because it enforced fiscal discipline, and lastly
3. 2020-present, when monetizing government debt.

Part of all that is this modern monetary theory nonsense; the idea that you can just print money however you want and it’s not tied to any source of value. Yea that unskilled retail worker should probably be making $20/hr now to get by, but once that happens, all the skilled workers will want more and it goes up the chain. Meanwhile the billionaires aren’t cutting their wealth to curtail the problem.
We’re dangerously close to a path of hyper-inflation, and it’s likely intentional. Prepare to see new digital dollars that will be better than regular monies .. cause they’ll expire and be traced to your carbon score and all other types of dystopian bullshit.
Finally finished removing the grid lines around my friend's world map for his Christmas present!
1) original image
2) original image with the lines removed
3) filter applied to remove some of the gross areas that were much harder to get rid of
4) color reintroduced, final image
I think it looks pretty decent given what I had to work with and it kind of gives it a more "drawn map that has worn over time" vibe than the original which was more clearly just made with software.
