This reminds me of a buddhist story that goes something like this: (tried to look it up but couldn't find it, chatgpt also didn't know) There is this man and his brother is a monk. So he tells this monk "if you please the kin

If you can't install Linux nowadays, you can't install Windows either. And if you can't maintain Linux, you can't maintain Windows either. I personally don't understand what "maintaining linux" is. I have

I love my Linux Mint. It's a breeze to install, runs on older hardware (old laptops my kids are using), and can do basically everything any other OS can do. WTF are people still doing with this Windows thing? Especially here on HN, I e

Just because the market cap of Bitcoin is 520.50B, doesn't mean 520.50B has been invested into it. Basically, as long as the price of Bitcoin is >0, more was won than lost. It's now at 25k, so a lot has been won. So still in an

I understand your point about Discord. I'm also not on other servers, only the one I manage :D. It's too chatty for an old guy like me :D. In that case I guess WhatsApp is what most people use for groups that you know.

Check out Discord. All the social media that you mention are all about "look at me", with a competition of getting the most likes and comments. Discord is basically small independent servers, where discussions and information prim

That's what I see with my son too (I'm 44, he's now 14). I tried to watch some of the older movies (not alien just yet), and it's all just too slow-paced/boring for him. These movies have a huge and slow buildup, an
