    Ya know what, could it really be any worse than just letting AI create a scheduler? I’m on board for using it. No more Deadline or Fair Queuing for this guy!

          Interesting perspective. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are considered generational planets, while the inner planets are considered personal.

          Extrapolating to the OS, it would be interesting to translate to OS tasks (I think more death and rebirth of Pluto for restarts. I wonder if Neptune would be abstract of an illusion than windows and the design elements that can make it like CSS/Javascript (shudders.) Uranus would have to be scheduled updates, we all know how weird out of date software, drivers, etc acts.

          Maybe the user could put in their birth chart information and it would give daily updates on what to focus on that day outside of the OS based on how the planets are hitting their chart.

          Fun thought experiments. I practice astrology and also like to babble.

    What other weird schedulers could we do, crontab for mars? Seconds to midnight? Death rate?

    The gravitational pull exerted on the baby caused by the midwife’s mass exceeds the gravitational pull of all planets combined by far.

    I just can’t take people seriously who believe in bullshit like astronomy - so while this may be a fun project, sadly there are going to be people who honestly think this is a thing.
