There is the bigmacindex. It doesn’t speak for quality, but it gives a very clear picture of pricing over the world
Oh, yes! I was thinking why someone would do that, but cars are a very good example. I wouldn’t want a smart car that can’t drive without an internet connection, or an android tv that pushes ads on every menu option. I choose the “dumb tech”
I don’t know the difference between bad advice and good advice anymore
Pain is an emotion, emotions can be shut off
Wtf? No this is not normal. My wife even gets pain meds for the Dental Hygienist, because she has a fear for the dentist or anything dentist related. I think it is absolutely unnecessary, but maybe she has hyper sensutive teeth or something. I’m not a doctor. Anyways, the pain meds help her, so she gets them, regardless of whether it is just phychological or not.
I think you’re just suffering from the ridiculousness that calls itself the US healthcare system.
But why?
Who left the gates of 4chan open? All the incels got out and are running government now!
It’ s easy to dismiss everyone as “douchebag” if they don’t align with your world views.
It’d only be fair to install facial recognition on cars as well.
Oh wait, you already have Palintir posts on every corner? Go ahead than.
Commercial starts: “Buy our new…”
Me: " Okay, this is clearly not meant for me…"
Tge problem isn’t so much that people have changed. It is that these people are more visible. It’s a scale issue. The general public has always been this stupid, but before social media, they just kept to their local communities or even just their own households. Now those communities are online, global and mainstream and even the houswewives you wouldn’t normally see are there. It’s all the people, all at once.
Unless you want to do something about it, you can best ignore them. Stick to your own group and your own family. You’ll be much happier that way.
If you do want to do something. Repetition is key. Keep having the arguments that seem so pointless. Keep pointing to tge facts and the science,even though they don’t seem to listen. If they hear it often enough and from enough directions, it might spark something.
Hmm, that is a decent argument. I mean, I do trust proton and signal, because they are privacy focused. But I also have an exitplan for those platforms, in case they do turn evil. Open source is great, but these platforms prove that it is not the only acceptable solution.
Nevermind, I shouldn’t comment on this.
Sounds like solid advice, but my daughter is not comfortable with tampons (yet). She at least has had some icecream today. But so did my son and I haha
I am a father of two. Wife was working today. It is very warm today, so I wanted to go swimming with my kids. My son was oke. My daughter also wanted to go, but she was on her period. She didn’t want to go swimming in this situation. But for her it is also a very warm day. How can she find cooling? Any tips?
The good thing is that a deepseek can be run locally relatively well with consumer hardware. I trust chinese companies as much as i trust american companies with my data and my prompts.
So, people are falling for Anthropic’s marketing scheme?
She’s not a pacifist, but a perfectionist. Killing everyone in one blow. Common mistake.
I Was thinking about switching to full-time Linux for years, maybe decades. I’ve had Linux installed on side-computer (Ubuntu and Mint on my home server), but not on my main laptop. I made the switch on 23 March. I decided to install Omarchy, because it looked cool and it was a new and refreshing user experience. I thought I´d give it a try.
But I don´t love the fascist captain and I don´t love the bloat. Now I also hear that it is being build and maintained by AI.
But also, I love the way Omarchy works. I love the keyboard oriented aproach. I love the super-button. I love the menus. I love the nvim setup. I love the desktop layout. I love that it just works out-of-the-box and that it is (or appears) stable. I love that installing anything is so easy.
I appreciate Omarchy for being such a good gateway drug into the Linux world for people like me and I think it deserves some credit for that. But I also have ethical complaints that ruin the fun.
So what I’m really looking for is, how can I take all these features I like so much, and apply them on a proper distro?
The obvious solution seems Arch, but I want my computer to work without having to spend weeks learning how all the mechanics and fine configuration details work. I don´t even now what the configuration details are that make the things I like. Maybe that’s not an issue with Arch, but I don´t know much about Arch tbh. I haven´t had the time to learn about it.
Or maybe I’m just asking too much as an old man (though dhh is a decade my senior) and I should just go back to Mint…
Sounds like someone who was stuck in a comfortable position.not really adding any value to tge world, but rewarded plenty. Unwilling or unable to adapt to a changing industry and too affraid to find out what their career future holds. I say let them farm. Make room for new talent that is capable of handling the new ways.
