A good chunk of my work is scheduled turning off and on again in the right order so things don’t break

This is an unexpected benefit of being in Switzerland. Here I was thinking it was more or less a marketing thing

Now that is someone who has thought about this question a lot

Legally the product is no longer their priority, maximising shareholder profits is their priority.

Not many companies manage to not get twisted to a worse product for the customers, though their ads get really good

I feel like I am slowly moving all my data being with Google to Proton. Makes me a bit uncomfortable to be all under one umbrella again.

At least so far it seems they are a decent company

Three screens billed as “business expense” actually used as a sim racing rig.

But you will end up filling any screen space you have. When coding I very quickly fill out the space, to see files and folders I am intereacting with, communication apps, websites, IDE, ticket screen. Some days I wish I had 4.

Por que no los dos? Why the urge to dilute it to a black or white issue? Why can’t it be the people and the current society? I am a gaming addict, I know it is up to me.to change that and not fall in the hole. Could there also be a society change, of course, but it is not 100% my problem or 100% societies problem.

I can fight my own phyche and make small gains, then spend that spare time to improve my community.

Society is fucked, but we can all try and make it a bit better

Random thought, do Lemmy posts show up in searches?

I’m pretty sure that’s how I ended up at reddit. After so many google searches lead me to the site, I decided to check it out some more

The old acknowledged the question but dance around answering it by throwing out another question and attack of character.

This guy has talked shit online before, this isn’t his first rodeo

Unasked for advice, just be careful drinking coffee too late in the afternoon that it doesn’t turn into a habbit. It can drastically the amount of deep sleep you get at night, making you tired the next day, wanting my coffee, then repeat while slowly upping the amount of coffee.

Otherwise hot drinks seem to be soothing for a large number of people

Or the upper class spend that money on building bigger walls.

Tangentially Speaking by Chris Ryan.

He interviews interesting people, some famous, most not. The latest episode was with a guy he happened to meet at a party and thought he had an interesting story.

As the name implies he is very happy to go off on tangents, so the episodes can end up in topics you never would have guessed from the guest description.

Word of warning he does tend to talk for about 30 minutes at the start of every episode. I personally enjoy it but I know others who it annoys.

I feel him selling out turned me off ever wanting to watch it. He didn’t need the money, he was already super well off. So he just showed that he didn’t value his listeners, he knew he would lose some but didn’t care.

Compared to my favorite podcast that offers people to email him if they can’t afford the paid stuff because he just wants people to be able to listen.

Happy to learn what illegal content is on display and discussed about here?

But we’re gonna die one day "

This looks much like much more what I was looking for. Like a Foss replacement for the android keyboard, will keep playing with it to see how it goes. Thanks

As a non American the gun argument for being able to rebel seems like such an empty argument. Assuming you mod your rifle to full automatic fire you are going up against tanks, jets, drones, artillery, the entire armed forces of one of the strongest military forces on this planet. Ak47s didn’t work out so well for Iraq why do you think you will be different?

I would highly recommended finding other sources of joy. Buying things has been proven again and again to just give small bursts of happiness that quickly fade, this is the cycle these corporations often feed on.

Look into cheap hobbies you can do. Recovering from getting used to these small hits of joy isn’t always easy, but it will give you back more control of your life. I’m not perfect at this myself but I am much more aware of it and able to say no in the majority of my life.

You could also look into Minimalisim, there are some interesting ideas in there to be adopted, even if you don’t eat the whole pie.

America can’t afford to lose Taiwan, they make too many semi conductors.

From my understanding they are one of a very few handful of places that can make the chips that are being used in training the current AI. Taiwan is one of the main ones.

Amazing this was posted 4 days after the in person voting… how is an Aussie meant to make an informed choice when the data comes after the voting day?
