AI didn’t do that. It stole all the information for free on the internet from people who tried to help others and make money of it.

Like to other SRO’s in the financial system. That worked out fine.

It is the phone everyone deserves but should not be the one you want. It only creates more waste without being reparable.

I am trying to quit all screens aside from workrelated things.

Picked up going outside and doing woodworking on my driveway. I have had such nice conversations with the people in the neighbourhood. Let’s connect is a great thing.

Eternal loneliness is a choice. Most people nowadays tend to dwell away behind their phonescreens / PC / TV. Get out and meet some people. There are meetups for things you find interesting. There are walking groups, travellers etc.

If you are alone, you are in the wrong context. A change of place, scenery, people or maybe your own personality is needed.

That’s the point of protest. The rules are made to keep the status quo, not be good. And some rules suck balls.

Reading man pages is a skill of it’'s own and the quality of man pages vary. However the ways of figuring out how to do something. ‘Command -h’ or ‘command --help’ ‘man command’ Search online for ‘command examples’.

He desperately, like the despot he is, wants to stay relevant but let him become a blip in time. Fade into obscurity.

Stop giving Elon attention

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Try it. Even it is not the best resource, it can give you at least a gist about it. It is not a city, it will surprise you.

Good for you. You can use whatever you want. Linux works for me.

Have you tried a fresh install on the laptop with Linux. May help at times

Do you even know what Europe is?

You are missing the point. The Dutch has Nazi’s too, but also a lot of resistance. There is good and bad all around, even within people. If you want to label it as one thing, that would be shortsighted.

Really. Because it is all bloatware, all the settings menu’s are all over the place, things get jammed in your face ( Use this new thing we made so we can own you even more ) and other nonsense.

A fresh install of Linux takes me far under 30 minutes. Most of them work out of the box.

Noot Noot

Never knew. There is a right ‘tool’ for every job. I live in a rainy place.

What’s that?

Do it. It so much fun. Rex Kreuger on Youtube has a lot of info on how to get going on a small budget with handtools.

You mean dd like a madlad

I work in Tech but I dislike most tech products. They are not repairable, are spyware, abandonware, shiteware and overall not a win-win situation that it is supposed to be. To be away from screens, I got into woodworking. To make things to old-fashioned way. To be repairable, to be sustainable and mostly to be imperfect. And yes, the imperfections are not on-purpose. I am doing my best to buy the old ‘Quality’ stuff that wont break and restore them to working order.

With shoes I buy second-hand Leather, Goodyear welted shoes and I splurged on Darntough socks. My feet are so happy. Currently I am seeking the best jeans, and almost all cotton seems to the trick.

So not the most niche per se, but I like it.
