That's interesting. I always get a bout of depression when the weather changes drastically (increase in temp, drop in pressure). I noticed that when I'm able to poop again, afterwards it starts to get better. Maybe I need to take

Back in the 90s, I went for 215 KM/h with a Audi 100, but found it too exhausting. Everything goes so fast, and you have to be super-aware at all times. I doubt I drove more than 5 minutes at that speed.

Every link just reloads the site. For me, at least.

The only reason I still use Ubuntu is that their font smoothing is superior to everyone else straight out of the box. I tried to recreate the steps on Fedora, but couldn't come close.

Social media has caused a lot of people to shift their world views, and re-examine their identities. Not necessarily in ways that benefit themselves or society.

There's also a plugin for Wordpress (SimplyStatic, I believe) that creates a static copy of your site. I use it in conjuction with bitbucket and netlify, and it works quite well.

I think he was an abuse victim, so that might be related.

Both scenarios would cause upheaval, and I'm not sure what he means by a "rich state of equilibrium".

Thanks for your work, didn't mean to sound negative. Wasn't aware it's such a rare book.

Deutsche Welle is a german public broadcasting corporation, I strongly doubt they'd pull anything fishy.

Agree 100%. Lack of industry standards was the problem for Desktop Linux 20 years ago, and still is today. Come to think of it, the biggest alternatives like GIMP and Libre Office (Star Office) were already present in the 90s.
