Its like the famous saying…

• How do you know someone runs arch?

• Because they will tell you about it.

Yeah I know but logically it’s a bit silly. It’s just stupid. :)

I’m happy to see it, but the headlines of how much money vanishes are ridiculous. Why isn’t it equally news-worthy when it goes up then, gaining 1 trillion in value without anything happening in the company?

It’s like the market thinks it’s completely normal for companies to just increase in value but when they decrease, it’s suddenly losing money. What?

It’s all speculation! Nothing is real about stock prices. No actual money is gained or lost. Only in our own heads, because we believe that number on the screen.

Next week the company could be worth twice this amount, or half this amount, if some big news shows up. Because it’s just fantasy. Speculation.

You can make real money by buying low and selling high, but its still just a game. Just numbers.

Truth hurts.

Arch is boring. It just works, has all the latest software, runs all the games, has the latest kernel…

My latest install is from 2019 I think…its exactly as fast as when I installed it, despite new versions of massive desktop environments like plasma and cosmic in this time, and hundred of new kernels and drivers.

Where is the excitement… Arch is like a rock in the sea. It doesnt change, it just is perfect the way it is.

:)

All of this when you get the super excellent Kagi for 10 dollars, from an actual search company that values privacy.

Its exactly what everyone wants but no, can’t pay 10 dollars I guess. :)
