Did it? We’re still here.

Right? For me the free as in freedom always had the upside and downside of people have the freedom to use it how they want. Within the very lenient license which might be in use of course. This can include the freedom to do things with the software which the creators and contributors might not agree with or like.

But in the end a certain trust in humanity and the concept of freedom itself mean that we believe the net sum of making your software free will be positive for everyone. And to this day I haven’t managed to become enough of a cynic to change my mind on this.

Its possible to dicuss licenses which helps prevent certain abuse cases. In fact those already exist. However people talk like this is the main issue of FOSS which I don’t think it is at all.

They also do not descriminate against evidence based on reliability.

From all the grease.

And it’s the same reason as the one alluded to in the title.

The sub is very positive and has a very high uovote rate. My guess is good for karma farming.

Perfectly tuned is not the right environment for creativity.

If Blizzard owned something comparable to Steam they could have become too big to be bought by Activision.

The absolute absurdity of work without pay becomes blatantly obvious when you reverse the situation.

Imagine you going to your boss and asking them if they could pay you for 10 hours of work even though you only worked 8 today.

It’d be considered ridiculous. But it’s the same thing.

In a employment relationship you got a contract stating the conditions in which you trade your time and skilled labor for money and benefits.

Neither side should feel entitled to free handouts on top.

Thierig also pointed out that sick leave tended to increase on Fridays and late shifts. “That is not an indicator of bad working conditions because the working conditions are the same on all working days and across all shifts. It suggests that the German social system is being exploited to some extent,” he said.

How bad of a manager can you be to not understand this? When your sick leave is more than three times as high as the automotive average, then your working conditions are so bad people are getting sick. Being too exhausted to work or unable to take another day of horrid working conditions at the end of the week is a symptom of that. Not being able to make it through a late shift for health reasons is not abusing the Healthcare system. That is what it’s for. Stop treating your people bad and they will be healthier and come to work. How hard is that to understand?

Agreed. I think the metaphors and message was delivered in a clever if malicious way. But the ending would have worked as well if not better if trimmed down a bit.

The fight felt a bit lengthy and everything after the second substance dose onward could have done with some trimming Imo.

The practical effects were fantastic and also the body horror versus gloss contrast worked really well for me.

The butocracy can be absolute hell as are a huge emphasis on being punctual.

But at least we got a decent enough Healthcare to actuslly get therapy and meds if you need them. It’s barred behind said hellish butocracy. But at least it is there.

Just a normal alarm timer app.

Forget appointments? Lose track of time when doing things? I set timers. Most apps allow recurring timers. For example I got one going off twice each day to remind me to drink some water.

I gotta leave in 40 minutes so I got some time to read or whatever. If I don’t set an alarm I’ll lose track of time and be late. Easy fix.

As far as habits go.

Be honest with myself about my shortcomings. If I start gaming at 9 pm it won’t be half an hour. Be honest. Go to bed now or accept it will be midnight.

No, I won’t just do that later. I will forget. Write it down or do it now. Else I will forget.

A TV? I don’t have that.

I can relate so much. I’ve had both happen several times. I’m currently back to the plan of minimum effort but it’s hard.

Whenever I’ve gotten a fun hobby I just think about it all the time and it becomes so hard to focus on my job and even harder to force myself to do the same boring shit every day. Can’t wait to get home too finally do something fun and interesting with my life.

I’m not sure my brain can handle this.

I only know the German translation where the name is Petterson.

Petterson is iconic but he would be nothing without Findus.

Same. I got his book as an ebook and read it. It offers some decent if simple advice and draws some really weird and false conclusions in other places. But overall it isn’t a bad book and I never felt like he argued on bad faith. But eventually I decided I don’t agree with his views overall.

Later he went a bit weird eating only meat and making weird arguments so idk. But before that I totally understood how he could suck people into the right wing bubble.
