It’s human instinct to make your mark — to prove you existed. Whether through cave paintings from epoch’s past or a handprint on a sidewalk, we have a need to leave an impact on our world. Are you ready to transform your life? Tired of just existing and want to live a life of passion and purpose? Use the link to schedule a free consultation to see if life coaching is right for you.
#introduction
Hi I'm Pierre, changed from Lego geek to computer geek at 11 when I touched a computer; they weren't that common in '80.
Studied computing at uni, became software #developer. Worked in several #startups, but not only.
Switched main OS to #linux in 1996. From time to time I contribute to #freesoftware projects, last to date being #DaggerfallUnity.
I enjoy #jazz#music (sometimes play #drums, but I need to replace my aging kit now), or #photography#nature.
My father #jeanpierreetchemaite died in September 2021. He was a #painter all his life since the age of 15, and left a huge wonderful #legacy, that I decided to digitize (foolish enterprise, I know) #art#painting#scanning#photography. I'm not sure yet how I should share it with the world.
Would you rather do something great for all of humanity but be remembered as one of the worst people who ever lived, or do nothing with any lasting impact in your life and be remembered as a hero to all people?
The edgelords and incels who whinge about #AffirmativeAction don't even understand what legacy admission is because they've never gotten anywhere near #Harvard or #Yale .
#Legacy admissions and a host of other accomodations makes it possible for them to coast through on easy mode.
Meanwhile in the real world, we have to be #TwiceAsGood .
The social policy known as the nuclear family is intended to divide families and enforce class/caste based systems. It is used as an example by advocates for as an indication of wealth growth and social cohesion. It is in fact the opposite. People are given expectations that are well beyond their ability to control, expected to fail, and limit their class mobility. You are given exactly the right amount of power that is under threat at any moment. This is how you control people en masse. #Legacy
Today's #BookQuote#inspiration from Promises Stronger Than Darkness by @charliejane
"You told me that nothing is settled as long as we're alive. That our #legacy is a fluid thing that always changes. That the proper use for the past is to spur us to do things in the future."
Yatto quoting Ganno
I want this framed.
“If you don’t have an access key, you can still request to remove the Activation lock on a decedent’s device. Before you can use their device, you will need to permanently delete their account.”
A great read from @glennf on unlocking a deceased person's device.
