I suppose I’ll end this piece with my best advice when it comes to choosing a subject: nothing is irrelevant. History is a continuum in which everything is irrevocably enmeshed, and the system of relations is by its very nature infinite. Maybe the brouhaha over autofiction is not only an opportunity to write about the business of publishing or the pervasiveness of internet thinking in our lives, but about psychoanalysis or the autobiographical novels of the 18th century. Maybe the incest brothers in The White Lotus have more in common with the Southern Gothic than they do the ills of contemporary pornography and television spectacle. If you’re a good writer, you can make anything interesting and the only way to become a good writer in this vein is to write about everything, even if you think you won’t be good at it, because the only way to become good at something is to do it. So goes, unfortunately, the tautology of practice.

it might be a little scary to use if you've never touched the command line before, but there's both text and video instructions to set it up and using it is just a matter of typing the command and letting it do its thing in the background.
