I bet in a few years most countries will simply follow China and make it illegal not to own/use "closed" devices that are not accessible for the government. 1984 was harmless compared to what is already here and what is comin

My main point was that professional therapy and counseling is very expensive, even in social countries like Western Europe. Free resources are all exhausted and often bad, private therapy is 100$/h. Now even if you earn decent that&#x2

That is not true. Maybe if you have money, and a lot of it. Even then therapy is no ultimate solution, most likely they'll just recommend you to take drugs that numb you down. The world is a horrible place, humans are horrible beings,

Lenovo did the same in the early days at least, they were very aware of having to produce high compatibility laptops. Not so much for the point of open source but for business usage which sometimes required non-windows OS's. But sure I

meanwhile in Thinkpad land... honestly I never understand why people go for Macbooks or XPS. X/T model user since 7 generations. I did look at the XPS but there are so many disadvantages with those modern one-body-all-closed-no-mods la

The problem is that its a digital prison for normal people. If there is no cash then bank accounts, CC and transactions should be free, as cash is free itself. But they are not. It's just a money making machine for banks and CC compani

I should have separated that better. Those were 2 different points, although I really didn't like what they told me there and that's the reason why I did not take their offer (very generous) and left. My point was that many don&#x

Let's be honest here, lot of people should be, there are too many jobs in tech that are morally questionable and people just do it because they get a 6+ figure salary. I had a personal experience with that in a new company and within t

", the cash component of undeclared wealth in India was estimated to be only about 6%. In other words, the policy instrument was aimed at the wrong target: most undisclosed wealth is held in noncash assets. " And this is not only

The only winners are the credit card companies and the banks here. Getting rid of cash is the final step of their financial prison for the average Joe.

We were in an extreme remote region of the eastern Himalayas in East India, nearest big town was 3 days by car on a road that was often blocked, otherwise there were only bamboo huts with indigenous people. We were stuck in the jungle once

People who hike the Appalachian Trail & co get lost and die every year. Doesn't take much. Now that is a tiny patch compared to the pacific ocean which is basically half the globe. Even if you can get a distress signal out by the t
