Let's try something different. Let's make today "make me a reasonable offer Friday".
See something in my Tindie store, send me an email or a DM with a reasonable offer (please don't insult me) and where you are so I can include postage, and I'll see what I can do.

"Agentic OS" is a praise popping up here and there on the internet.. As I'm not marketing scum, I had to google it to find out what it means.
Luckily 'Copilot Search' tells me it's just more AI enshittifation.
