As the BirdChan completes its re-brand, the infinitive “to tweet” nears retirement. The new term: to X-crete

Very random thought....

I am on my Windows computer so much for work that when I get off, I really just want to do something not on a computer. I realize that I now associate Windows with work and it doesn't feel like something fun or enjoyable. It doesn't feel personal to me.

I've been trying to figure out why lately I've had trouble with personal projects and perhaps this might be a small part of the answer.

India is a European word. The people living in that part of Asia never called themselves Indians. The people living in North America whom Columbus ignorantly called Indians weren't Indians either. It's just a word European powers made up for the convenience of their colonialism. There was no nation state of India until 1947, and then it took a few more years to fully unify.

You know I really hate the word “dispensing”, for no reason I can put my finger on.

Semi-related: we have a new appliance that uses this forbidden word and it has quickly become my least favourite appliance, despite “dispensing” one of my favourite items (coffee). I’m profoundly conflicted about this.

Growth means different things for people and for corporations.

Personal growth is about getting better. Not going from around 6 feet tall to 60 feet tall.

Corporate growth is always about getting bigger indefinitely.

Some first #showerthoughts on how #FOSS, being fundamentally different than #business and #government, may focus on the interfaces, formation of #F2B and #F2G relationships.

Businesses understand forging and maintaining #B2B relationships. They work well (though involving #hypercapitalism of course).

Not so when it comes to F2B. Then FOSS is just grabbed, like ore from a mine.

There can be no "supply chain" that way. Proper mutual value exchange is needed for that.

Kojarzycie Świat Dysku Terrego Pratcheta? I Vimesa komentdanta straży miejskiej Ankh Morpork?

No więc Pratchet ustami Vimesa stworzył ciekawą teorię nierówności społecznej (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory) w skrócie:

Bogatego stać na realne oszczędzanie. Bogaty może sobie kupić porządne skórzane buty za 50 dolarów, a biednego stać tylko na takie za około 10 dolarów. No i te za 10 dolarów rozlecą się po sezonie. Jak będzie miał szczęście. A te za 50 dolarów będą dobre latami.

Generalnie jak kupujesz drogą porządną rzecz to masz spokój na lata i realną oszczędność. A jak Cie nie stać to de facto musisz wydać więcej.

Otóż mam taką myśl, że dla coraz większej liczby produktów to już nie jest prawdą, bo wszystko jest kupą tylko czasami kupa jest droga. I już nie ma marki telefonów, która będzie dobra latami, ale wszystko jest tak zrobione, że za krótki czas będzie trzeba kupować coś nowego.

Żyjemy w czasach postępującej utraty jakości na rzecz maksymalizacji przychodów.

Dopiero dzisiaj zrozumiałem, że nie używam Linuxa dlatego, że jest otwartoźródłowy. Nie dlatego, że nie śledzi użytkowników. Nie dlatego, że jest darmowy.

Używam Linuxa, ponieważ chcę mieć działający komputer.

Wiele osób uważa, że Linux jest bardzo trudny - te wszystkie komendy, nauka systemu na nowo itd. Bardzo niesłusznie! To właśnie Windows jest przekomplikowany i trudny. Każda kolejna wersja Windowsa to nakładka z łatkami na poprzednią wersję, aż do momentu, gdy coś totalnie przestaje działać.

To prawda, trzeba nauczyć się całego systemu na nowo, ale realną trudnością jest przełamanie lęku, a nie faktyczna nauka.

Dopóki nie spróbujesz, nie zrozumiesz, co mam na myśli :blobcathearthug:

t y for sharing.

#showerthoughts The problem is in upstream and has only entered Debian Sid/unstable. Does this mean that for example bleeding edge Arch (btw) sshd users are compromised already ?

Although I do not think that humans are better than animals, I also feel that we are giving ourselves too little credit. Cats and dogs might not be killing
each other with bombs or arguing about abortion rights but they also don’t live in huge complex societies consisting of millions or billions of strangers. Will they fare better than us if they take over the earth? I don’t know, honestly. #FikiranJamban #showerthoughts
