All of them were sorted during WFH. I moved out to remote places and paid far less. I saved quite a bit on all of the above remote other than Internet of course. The economy is setup to extract your money from you once you've earned it

I've heard that landlords in Bangalore, India demand the equivalent of 1 year's rent as deposit, your grad school scores, a write up about yourself, linkedin profile, caste, marriage status, scores of hidden charges, living rules

Add time travel, UAPs etc to the mix and you have the grey alien stereotype making sense. I've always thought China would be the one to make the leaps that humanity doesn't want.

Reminds me that fire is dangerous and making it would have been patent-able today. There is no guarantee that once taken away from the masses, AI research wont continue in walled gardens with only the rich, connected, and powerful having ac

And bottle everything up in a company that will then want to charge massive rents for it. This is a transformative tool in a lot of industries. Given half a chance, Musk and his types would have patented fire.

With AI enabled programming coming in etc, I expect many apps will start getting faster as code gets refactored to not use bloated thirdparty frameworks etc. Older devices, and electronic waste should reduce with the possible optimizations

Normal web search is doomed. The people creating SEO out of ChatGPT dont realize that I am not going to be searching for answers by reading page upon page of SEO optimized pages anymore. I will ask an AI directly, and of late it has been a

Looks like every company wants to extract rent, from software to cars, ownership is going away. Time to claw back.

Large corps love subscriptions. The platforms they create impose this upon developers too. I get very exhausted with the never ending stream of payments and T&C updates. Moving to the desktop has been a way out, the other has been clubb

The real question Ive heard being asked is "Veg or Non veg?" This in many places is used to ask the caste question without explicitly asking for caste. The other question I've heard being asked of Indians is "what is you

I currently have subscription payment fatigue. I'd really like a list of "One Time Payment" software. Are there app bundlers who resell subscriptions? Like if I just want to use an app only a couple of times?

A lot of companies seem deeply invested in corporate offices and office complexes. It helps them with expense write-offs, depreciation etc. If you suddenly stop using those facilities, it's a dead asset. In some countries, running empl

As part of rule making, MPs should be forced to make their own info available twelve months prior to this rule being applicable to the public. A lot of useless laws would stop being proposed almost immediately. Increasingly, rule makers are

Any way to actually monitor traffic at the PC or network level for an individual user? I see a lot of odd behavior by TVs, IOT devices, connected bulbs and such. None of them seem necessary to me. I feel windows could do a lot better with r

Cloud has made irritating monthly payments possible even for small and tiny bits of rarely used software. As with electronics without removable batteries that will die soon, this trend is not something I will support by buying anymore. This

So many HODLers in this thread. For the normal person on the street, Bitcoin or Crypto never mattered. The endlessly breathless PR was irritating. Whatever happens, this wont be missed.

Subscription fatigue. I am tired of having to pay every month for everything. I actively avoid buying subscription based services and products now. Even simple programs and services want me to pay every month. Nope. Not doing that.
