  • Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity” … these people that you say are unhappy, poor and desperate are the result of previous administrations letting the rich off the hook from paying taxes, letting education deprecate (with teachers underpaid, undervalued, and each day more having their hands tied, with parents deciding what they can and cannot do…). Also let’s remember “No Child Left Behind” which was basically a way to defund education, letting kids that don’t learn keep moving forward to get out of the school system, without having to spend more to educate those who need, with the excuse of not letting them get stuck and failing. Schools are penalized if they don’t show kids progress, so they let the kids slide. Thanks George W. Bush! Now all of these people are seeing the results of poorly educated kids not able to secure jobs that pay better, while corporations, as they focus on cuts for profit and survival, get scotch free from contributing to education and infrastructure.

    The unhappy, poor and desperate don’t have the capacity to see what caused all of this, and can only relate to their situation being the fault of the other party. No context, so they believe on the orange man that talks with simpler words and short phrases, cursing and disrespecting, bringing to a level they are unfortunately accustomed to.








  • You are so right! That is the painful part that no one talks about! Took me a few days to get paperless-ngx working, because I had wrong firewall and port settings preventing docker containers communicating with each other. Once solved that I was proud and relieved - started scanning and categorizing - but in hindsight that was nothing compared to the amount of work to move stuff to it. I finally accepted that I will just have to keep doing that when I feel like it… which for the past months has been “never”. I now only put new docs in, but the older stuff is still sitting in nas folders.



  • Same here. Does not make a difference, and it is amazing that people’s egos are hurt or happy about it somehow. But upvotes and downvotes is what drives all other social media: egos want more likes, more subscribes, more “friends”, they want that tribal approval. I find the fediverse to be less infected with FOMO. Drama doesn’t go long around here, doesn’t stick because there are no stupid algorithms feeding more FUD. I am starting to believe that this is where the top 1% of the social media hang out and chill. Here there are people that stick around for interesting conversations as opposed to “look at me”.
